Summary: 5 Stars
(...)P>Story revolves around Wei Tong (played by Winston Chao), a very attractive 30 something chinese american living in the NY. He seems the prefect marriage material for any girl execept when he calls home, it's "Simon, will be home before 6pm!"He's gay and happily attached to the dashing American boyfriend Simon (played by Mitchell Lichtenstein. So what's the problem... Mum and Dad in Tawian wants grand wedding and a grandchild and they will do anything to find him the perfect match.
(...).
Ang Lee takes a humours approach towards the film but never deters from the storyline of "do we live to please our parents or for ourselves".
Buy it and I'm 150% you'll laugh, cry and love the movie!
Movie Review: Quiet, lovely film
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Wedding Banquet" finds Ang Lee in top form, and centers on a gay couple living in Manhattan. One of the men is Chinese, and he feels certain his parents would never accept his lifestyle. So he marries a Chinese woman living in one of his apartment buildings in New York and passes her off as his wife when his parents come to visit. There are little suprises in this film, and a number of funny and poignant scenes. Its main theme is unconditional love and acceptance. I would definitely recommend this film, as well as other Ang Lee films like Sense and Sensibility and The Ice Storm, in which all, in one way or another, focus on human relationships and our capacity for love.Movie Review: Gay, Green Card, Generation (Gap)
Summary: 5 Stars
(This one is for Steve Hedge.)
This film is directed by a clever Taiwanese director, Ang Lee, who was honored the academy's award a few years ago.
This black comedy has several layers: the gay, the immigration, and the old generation (the parents). An interracial relationship is never easy when you have a conservative Taiwanese parents and you are gay. A 'green' marriage could help you out from creating a mirage to your parents. Seems a win-win situation before your parents smell something fishy...
It's a great film depicts the culture shock, generation gap, and immigration issues. Yes! It's a must see.
Movie Review: Wedding Banquet Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was fantastic. You get to see how culture affects the way two men in love live their lives. The two main actors have to hide what they really feel for each other and this causes problems in their relationship. One of the men is white and the other is Chinese, but even though there are many cultural differences the two men love each other. It was a heartwarming and funny film. It is evident that this movie was low-budget but this fact only helps to make the movie look more realistic. I highly recommend this movie. :)Movie Review: one of the best gay romantic film!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time i saw the movie years ago, i fell in love with it. The story was simple yet very powerful and theres a lot of symbolism in the movie. The acting is very natural and if their story happens to me, i might do and feel the same thing as what Wei does. I love the cell phone scene where they exchange I love you to each other. That was very romantic! I cant wait for this dvd version to be released.
