Wonderful tidbits 1, Ang Lee was very cautious in choosing actors and couldn't find a suitable hero at the wedding reception. He once wanted to play the gay role of Gao Weitong himself.

Stills 2. Zhao Wenxuan, the actor of Gao Weitong, was an empty shell before taking part in this film. At that time, he sent the audition tape to Ang Lee, which made Ang Lee and his son laugh for a whole week. Ang Lee commented on him that "this man can't act at all", but even so, Ang Lee chose this handsome guy who can't act as the first hero. Ang Lee believes that "directing is to teach actors to act".

Among the many guests attending the wedding banquet was director Ang Lee.

Ang Lee wrote the script six years before shooting.

The story in the first half of the film comes from the personal experience of Ang Lee's good friend Neil Peng, who also participated in the screenwriter of this film.

6. In the film, Simon is cooking for the newlyweds that night. The chopsticks in Simon's hand are changing from different angles, and the bowls around him appear and disappear from time to time.

7. When Ang Lee won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival for "The Wedding Banquet", Zhang Yimou was the chairman of the jury. In 2007, the jury chaired by Zhang Yimou awarded the Venice Golden Lion Award to Lust, Caution directed by Ang Lee.

8. Li-Kong Hsu recalled that the Wedding Banquet held a celebration banquet after winning the Golden Bear Award. That day, Ang Lee began to cry as soon as he saw the shark fin soup on the table. Later, Li-Kong Hsu went to the toilet and asked him quietly, only to know that the bowl of shark fin reminded him of his wife and children in the United States. In the process of his struggle for film work, his family is very difficult and he is honored. Someone invited him to eat shark fin, and his wife and children could not eat shark fin for many years. He wants his family to be with him.

Release Information Release Country Release Date USA1August 4, 1993 UK1September 24, 1993 French1October 6, 1993 Film Review This film is the first internationally renowned film in Ang Lee. The biggest feature of the film is to deal with homosexuality with China people's unique family ethics and the concept of moderation, so that this social problem that plagues almost all families can be solved in a comedy way in the film. This way of treating homosexuality and the concept of treating homosexuality are oriental, and even similar views can be found in China's classical novels. But this story takes place in new york, the most prosperous and modern city, where the classical and the modern meet, and the old and new ideas tolerate each other after the conflict. In his novels, Ang Lee conveyed the confusion, helplessness and tolerance of a traditional China family in the face of modern concepts in modern society. Of course, the success of the wedding banquet is also due to the competent acting skills of several actors. Especially Ang Lee's two royal elders, Lang Xiong and Gui Yalei, their natural and serious performances almost overshadowed several handsome men and beautiful women.

Stills As a director who likes to discuss ethical issues, Ang Lee's films continue the creator's concern about ethical and moral conflicts under the multicultural background and the complex interpersonal emotional entanglements caused by them. The arrangement of the first half of the film may make people feel that it contains enough gunpowder primers to blow up an ethical system that has imprisoned individuals for thousands of years, and there are still many question marks that make people chew and ponder. However, in the face of such a complicated problem, what Ang Lee showed was not his sharpness of thinking to affirm or subvert any moral values, but his calm narrative ability. Ang Lee's outstanding point is that he can skillfully weave these clues, unfold the story layer by layer, and at the same time, in the name of a universal "love", carefully balance the meticulous depiction of various roles with the cracks of many values and emotions. This narrative style was once again vividly reflected in the later directed Sense and Sensibility. (Sina. com)？
