Gao Weitong (played by Zhao Wenxuan) is a homosexual who lives in the United States. He lives with his lover, an American man named Simon (played by Mitchell Lichtenstein), in Manhattan, New York. However, Gao Wei's parents (played by Lang Xiong and Gui Yalei) in Taiwan did not know that their son was gay. They constantly urged Guo Wei to get married quickly so that they could inherit the Gao family's legacy. It happened that Gao Weitong's apartment was rented by Gu Weiwei (played by Jin Sumei), an illegal female immigrant from mainland China, so Simon came up with an idea: let Weitong and Weiwei get married. This not only appeases Wei Tong's parents in Taiwan, but also allows Gu Weiwei to get the coveted green card, and it can also maintain the cohabitation relationship between Simon and Wei Tong.

This seemingly foolproof strategy led to more complicated incidents. After hearing the good news, Wei Tong's parents happily came to New York to arrange a happy event for their son. As a result, various emotional disputes and interpersonal conflicts unfolded behind a lively and bustling Chinese-style wedding banquet...

This film is Ang Lee's first international film success and won the Berlin Film Festival. Golden Bear Award and Golden Horse Award for Best Film. The biggest feature of the film is that it uses the unique Chinese family ethics and moderate concepts to deal with the homosexual issue, so that this social problem that troubles almost all families can be solved in a comic way in the film. This approach and concept of viewing homosexuality are Eastern, and similar views can even be found in Chinese classical novels. But this story takes place in New York, the most prosperous and modern city, where classics and modernity meet, where old and new ideas conflict and then become inclusive. In the narrated story, Ang Lee conveyed the confusion, helplessness and tolerance of a traditional Chinese family facing the modern concepts of modern society. Of course, the success of "The Wedding Banquet" is also due to the competent acting skills of several actors. In particular, Ang Lee's two veterans Lang Xiong and Gui Yalei, their natural and steady performances almost overshadowed several handsome men and beauties.

As a director who likes to explore ethical issues, Ang Lee’s film continues the creator’s interest in ethical and moral conflicts in a multicultural context and the complex interpersonal emotional entanglements caused by them. focus on. The layout of the first half of the film may make people think that it buries enough explosive primers to blow up an ethical system that has imprisoned individuals for thousands of years. It is full of interesting questions: Why do gay men in the 1990s still Are you willing to hide in the closet? Homosexuals do not dare to come forward and expose themselves. Unless it is due to social pressure, can family ethics be held responsible? In order to deceive themselves and others, the lies get bigger and bigger. What do the rebels and parents gain and lose? Is the heterosexual, monogamous nuclear family the only ideal family model? Should "carrying on the family line" in the name of filial piety continue to be regarded as an inevitable and reasonable reason for reproduction? How should interracial couples (especially homosexuals) have conversations despite the differences in culture and tradition?

The above questions all relate to the moral dilemma of interpersonal relationships in a pluralistic society. But what Ang Lee showed in the face of such complicated issues was not his ideological sharpness to affirm or subvert any moral values, but his calm narrative ability. Ang Lee's excellence lies in his ability to skillfully weave these many clues, unfold the story layer by layer, and push to the climax of the dramatic conflict. carefully balanced in the name of a universal "love". This characteristic of narrative style was once again vividly reflected in "Sense and Sensibility" directed by him.

Sorry, this should be the correct answer, I almost misled someone
