Ang Lee's cameo, the finishing touch.

sexual repression

Five thousand years of Chinese traditional culture, deep-rooted customs and mission-like succession tasks, everyone is overwhelmed. Fleeing from the mainland to Taiwan, and then to the United States, he was released under another culture.

This is the result of five thousand years of sexual repression!

Raise your hand

There is also this scene of raising his hand to accept the security check, military identity, former division commander, making this action is really meaningful. From the results, it seems that Father Gao is indeed making a compromise and surrender!

third person

Who is this third person? Some people say that he symbolizes the "Old Zhang" in the mouth of Gao's father. Wei Tong, who was brought up by Lao Zhang, if Lao Zhang has never married and has been paying silently in their family, then it is really possible. Gao’s father is also gay, and he has already made compromises in order to inherit the family, so when he knows After his son was gay, he was not particularly surprised. He deliberately pretended to be in the dark and asked his family to lie to him.

    Watching Li Ang’s interview last night, he said, “In a society that is changing too fast, where should filial piety go. People seem to have to accept and catch up with these changes, but it’s actually very helpless and melancholy.” The family trilogy is finally watched. After all, this screenwriter is too wonderful. If "food men and women" is reconciling traditional ethics and pyrotechnics, then this film is reconciling Chinese and Western cultures, as well as traditional and modern cultures. PS: Li Ann's cameo with a glimpse of surprise.

    The second of Ang Lee's "Family Trilogy" won the Berlin Golden Bear. Contradictions between East and West, tradition and modernity are expressed implicitly and implicitly, and comedy elements are used to bridge the gaps. The fly in the ointment is that the twist and happiness at the end are a little far-fetched. The composition, editing, and movement of the camera are all skilled and meticulous (such as the long shot of the wedding dress and the hospital confession). | Details: Changed wedding vows, Uncle An's cameo, wiping his mouth, snorting, surrendering, dishes flying out of the wok. (9.0/10)
