...The Wedding Banquet.Very, very nice. Forget about all the confusion. You strain through most of it trying to come up with any plausible ending, happy as much as possible, all the while realizing that happy ending it is not going to be. Yes, I know, they all smile at the end, but...
All the while arguing with my wife - "You've seen it!" - "No, I've not" - "yes, you did!" - "no... To be honest (she can't hear me now), I think I have seen part of it before.
Predictable funny moments. He is filling out match making form, desperately trying to make it impossible to find such mate. She is supposed to have two PhD's, be an opera singer and speak five languages.
He's been living in America too long. He forgets his application goes to China. Next week his potential bride (sorry, only one doctoral degree, but she IS an opera singer and does speak five languages) shows up. I never stop being amazed at the Asian determination and will. I think we need to geat up our export of Budwiser to China.
Another very entertaining Ang Lee film ("Eat Drink Man Woman"). I've been to a few Chinese weddings and can tell you that the grooms definitely drink (toast each table) to the point of being shitfaced. Gay or straight, chances are the bride is going to get pregnant that night.Never saw Lee's "Pushing Hands", but his "Ice Storm" and "Sense and Sensibility" were decent. Avoided last year's "Ride With The Devil"; friends told me that the acting was atrocious, particularly Jewel (the pop/folk singer).
