YesAsia Editorial Description
Director Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) first achieved international attention with The Wedding Banquet, a funny and unexpected human comedy that was a hit with audiences worldwide. Winston Chao stars as Wai Tung, a gay Taiwanese gentleman living in New York City. Wai Tung's happy life with his lover Simon (Michael Lichtenstein) is interrupted by the meddling of his conservative parents (Long Hun and Kuei Ya Lei), who have no idea their son is gay and wishes to see him married to an eligible bride. To placate them, Wai Tung enters into a sham marriage with struggling artist Wei Wei (May Chin), while Simon pretends to be the best man. The deception is a success, but his parents' visit from Taiwan - and the subsequent wedding banquet - leads to surprising and hilarious results! A wonderfully human comedy-drama about cultural differences, expectations, and even a few stereotype-breaking revelations, The Wedding Banquet is an independent filmmaking classic that perfectly demonstrates director Ang Lee's ample talent.

導演︰李安
Director: Ang Lee
本片榮獲第30屆金馬獎最佳影片、導演、原著劇本、男、女配角!第43屆柏林影展最佳影片金熊獎!美國西雅圖影展最佳影片、最佳導演獎!瑞士盧卡諾影展藍豹獎!
一對來自一中一西的男同性戀情侶、一雙來自台灣的傳統父母和一個為了得到美國居留權而願意假結婚的女子,構成了一個複雜卻充滿愛和情的故事。導演李安以自然現實的手法把當年最具爭論性的話題環環相扣,探討於西方長大的年青人和傳統東方父母的衝突、中西文化的差異及當時中國人渴望到美國爭取自由的夢想。此片以各自的矛盾開始,也以對現實的妥協結束,全片貫穿著東方人親子之間的愛和包容,充份發揮了李安善於融情於景的拍攝技巧。
A pair of Chinese-Caucasian Gay couple, two Taiwan traditional parents and a girl who is willing to have a deceiving marriage for a green card have joined together and become a story full of love and sensibility. Director Ang Lee has entwined all the controversial issues of that time in a realistic and spontaneous way, which has probed into the issues like clashes between a grow-in-the-west son and his conservative Chinese parents, the differences between the eastern and western cultures and the Chinese's desire to look for freedom at all cost. Starting with all the dilemmas and ending with their unspoken compromise., the love and understanding among the family has been impenetrated throughout the movie, which has shown the excellent filming technique of Director Amg Lee.

Best Gay Movie so far....
|
I have seen quite many Asian gay movies. But no one of those movies can be compared with this one! This movie is really great. At one scene, it will make you laugh. And at other scene, it will make you cry. Ang Lee is really expert in doing how to turn a common plot into an interesting movie. And the acting of the main stars is just so great, especially May Chin & Gui Ah Lei. Only Winston Chao (a newcomer at that time)that needs to be polished a little bit. |
