How to evaluate Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet?

The first time I watched The Wedding Banquet, I only learned the common sense of literature and art by reciting Ang Lee's Father Trilogy.

What impressed me most about Ang Lee's appearance was his elegant expression in the film "This is the sexual liberation of China for hundreds of years". I still remember that he said it was a line to explain the film, but I thought the camera was stupid and never appeared in my work again.

The success of The Wedding Banquet can be said to be a film in which China shows the cultural exchange between the East and the West, homosexuality, eroticism and other elements. If I compare it to a person, I will fantasize that it is a poetic and elegant man with sleeves full of breeze. Be able to control the mix and match of various styles.

In order to show the feudal differences between foreign gay men and China gay men, the intervention of Wei Tong's parents is especially representative of China's parents. Father's authority, mother's softness and loyalty exert great pressure invisibly. One of the scenes, the collision of old and new ideas and the gap between two generations, seems to be metaphorical.

In the film, Shanghai women and migrant workers will easily play the role of fiancee without any burden when they appear in the background of "three noes" (no parental care, no social care and no status). But it is precisely because of this experience that I feel the warmth and companionship from home after knowing Wei's half-brother. At first, for the purpose of profit, she gradually became a docile oriental woman.

Why is it called the father trilogy? Nature is related to "father". Wei Tong's father is very serious and great. He is eager to know his son. Sometimes he is silly like an old urchin in the film, but only for the sake of this unfilial son. When I learned that my son was "bent", I was obviously devastated and the audience outside the play fully understood. But the tall influence of his father was handed down by China from his ancestors for thousands of years, and it was the kind of heavy pressure in his heart that made him breathless. Therefore, Wei Tong's expression is always completely different between his father and his gay friends.

However, in any case, Wei Tong and his father compromised. When my son thought of death while his father was sleeping, he suddenly felt panic and naturally associated it with the way he tried to understand his father. At the end of the film, the father left helplessly, passed the security check and raised his hands. Isn't that the attitude of surrendering to his son?
