In 1993, when I was still babbling, I didn't know much about the word gay. Later, when I sat in front of the TV with my mother and saw the introduction, saying that Ang Lee has won numerous awards for this wedding banquet, I was thinking that his parents knew what it was like for him to make this movie.
After all, we Chinese are still a conservative nation at heart, and I love being so conservative. Even me, a post-90s generation who brushes aside, is still open-minded and conservative in behavior, and it may be a special case for me. I can openly brainwash my mother, saying that gay is just another form of life created by God. It has existed secretly and unannounced from a long time ago, and the people of the country who were closed in the past did not understand it, but now it is only through powerful media. It's exposed. However, ask me if I can accept gay, I will say yes, ask myself if I can, I can't. I just can't accept nasty boys, but I think existence means meaning; I'm just clamoring for equality between men and women, why do girls have to cook, wash dishes and take care of children when I'm upset, and think it's awkward for boys to do these things.
In this way, after reading it, there is a very complicated psychology.
Looking at the two elderly people from Taiwan, I feel very comfortable. Very surprised. Because, I hate the traditional sad life that has to get married and have children. I don't like wedding banquets that are hilarious and hilarious. But when I step out myself and look at the actions of these ordinary older generations from an outsider's point of view, I will be sympathetic to the actions that they are trying to defend this old era, which is about to be lost and irreparable, but still consume a lifetime of energy. Gentle affection flowed from the bottom of my heart.
The voice of Gui Yalei's letter reading at the beginning of the film is very comfortable, and her occasional non-standard Mandarin pronunciation is overshadowed by the tone of her kind and loving mother. It was a kind of high-frequency sharp voice that was not like an ordinary middle-aged woman, like a gentleness that would not disarm and surrender because of the screams even if they quarreled. Beneath a puffy gray curly hair was a small, thin body. As said in the film, I really envy that today's women are well educated, can do what they want, have the ability, and have their own lives. Even so, even if she realizes this, she is willing, perhaps it is a habit to squeeze herself dry, and make a small contribution to the old times.
The pillar of the home. As I thought, he understands English, he understands everything. The whole family faced the unacceptable fact fiercely, and when he was afraid that he had always been rigid and serious and tried to hide everything, he dealt with it calmly and protected the family who tried his best to protect him. Silently, no one would know of the struggles and pains he experienced in his heart. This is the dignity of a traditional Chinese man. Reminds me of Thirteen Yan in "Mei Lanfang".
A wedding banquet passed, and the three young men held each other's waists, watching the two old men leave. The future life is comfortable and happy.
With tears in his eyes, the old man buried deep wounds in his heart with the memory of subverting the times.
