Giving up and compromise is life

In my mind, Ang Lee's movies are my favorites, men and women, and wedding banquets. We don't compare with the young Pi, because he is too high to reach, and we also don't compare with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It can only be regarded as second-rate in martial arts films.
I couldn't help but revisit the wedding banquet. Every time I saw young Ang Lee leaning out from behind and saying, "This is five thousand years of sexual repression in China. But in my opinion, the point of the wedding banquet is not to expose the ugliness of Chinese wedding banquets, nor to praise freedom and homosexuality, nor to describe the incompatibility of Eastern culture in Western society, but to say that the people or things we strive for may not be as you wish. , giving up or compromising is life, whether it's Wei Tong's parents or Wei Tong and his friends, including Wei Wei, all at once.
It is also a description of the Chinese life in the United States. Hong Kong director Zhang Wanqiu's autumn fairy tale is also very good, even comparable to sweet and sweet and tied for the best Chinese love film, but the autumn fairy tale only has love, which is flimsy compared to the wedding banquet.
Plus, Kim So-mei was so pretty when she was young.
