How do you tell the only two people in the world who have expectations for you that you will never be the person they want

Looking back six years later, I understand better than before. Li An really still understands Chinese family and society very well. "I'm not getting married to explain!" "Why don't I get married if I don't explain?" "My wedding banquet is not for you, but for the teacher." In everyday conversation, the socio-ethical significance of marriage and the social nature of family relations are all presented. The ending implies that a new family structure has been formed under the compromise of both parties. The same-sex lover and the child's mother are considered relatives, and the old man reluctantly "surrenders" at the end of the film. Ang Lee's shot is really neat. Both are same-sex films. The wedding banquet focuses on how homosexuals face the ethics and filial piety of East Asian Confucianism. In addition to social pressure, Brokeback Mountain is more about self-identity, so I feel that in these two films, All of them have Ang Lee's personal experience, but the experience of the wedding banquet is in the family/marriage part, while in Brokeback Mountain there is Uncle An's shadow of self-exploration of lust. Where your lust points can also define yourself.
