This film is a work of Ang Lee's reputation in the international film industry. It has won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Golden Horse Award for Best Film. According to the director's statement, Ichichun's possible tragedy is turned into a comedy, and everyone is happy with the sophistication. The story describes that Wei Tongyuan lives with his boyfriend Simon in the United States, but he is constantly urged by his parents in Taiwan to get married on the phone. What is even more unexpected is that his parents suddenly come to the United States to force the marriage, and Wei Tong has no choice but to rent his house in mainland China. The female painter Weiwei agreed to a fake marriage. When everyone was in a bridal chamber, Wei Tong had a relationship with Wei Wei and made her pregnant. The parents who had traditional concepts later also accepted the fact that their son was gay, and Simon also agreed to be the godfather of Weiwei's child. You're witnessing the results of 5000 years of sexual repression. High-level feelings eventually form spirit and consciousness; low-level feelings can only be reduced to temper and emotion.
