Movies are nice. I dare not say that only Chinese people can resonate, but when I see the plot, if it is not for the Chinese whose ancestors have been Westernized for at least three generations, they will laugh more or less after reading it, and then the more they laugh, the more helpless they become. For example, the phrases "We don't get married to explain to anyone", "I don't want to explain to you what to get married", and the drinking at the wedding banquet and the bridal chamber afterward. I can't help but think, what does marriage mean to Chinese people? I agree with what was mentioned in the movie "Little Women", marriage is a matter of financially, a reallocation and reorganization of social resources, and I also believe that marriage also has to be a union of love, which is sacred and responsible. Just after reading the wedding banquet in "The Wedding Banquet", as well as the weddings I attended on weekdays, and the opinions of some people around me, it seems that many marriages are related to face and reproduction. The four words "I want to hold a grandson" are like a mountain pressing down on each generation of young people. Parents and children lack communication, and it doesn't matter whether the children are happy or not.
In the end, both parents and children have their own ghosts. On the surface, it seems complete, but the script just arranges that a woman is willing to give birth to this child, which meets the needs of two generations. And although I can't look at the previous works with the current eyes, in fact, this is also an example of surrogacy in disguise. In the past, I would definitely think that this was really a happy ending, but if I look at it now, I still feel uncomfortable.
