Gao Weitong, he is young and famous, his father is a local celebrity is very prestigious, he went to the United States to study since he was a child, and when he grew up, he stayed in the United States with excellent results, he grew tall and handsome, personable, is a cultured, educated and humble gentleman, he developed very well in the United States, and his parents earned enough face in their hometown.
However, he has a thing that makes his parents unhappy, he is already old and not looking for a girlfriend, for this matter his parents can not move to call, to him openly and covertly to urge, and he is a filial piety, he does not want to provoke his parents to displeasure for this matter, but in his heart there is an unspeakable secret that cannot be told to people.
It turns out that he has always liked the same sex, he has a same-sex lover called Simon, they have lived together for 5 years, the two of them are very harmonious, but this kind of love he can not say to his parents, he can not open his mouth and do not know how to open, he wants to keep it hidden, but as his parents age, their requirements for him to marry and have children have become more and more urgent.
They came thousands of miles from China to introduce girls to come and go on a blind date with Wei Tong, and in order to avoid such things in the future, He thought of a way to make his parents no longer force each other, that is, to find a woman for a fake marriage, he thought of one of his tenants, a girl from China, Gu Weiwei rented an attic in Wei Tong's house, although she was a painter, but she did not even sell a painting, so her economy was very embarrassing, and she did not have a legal identity in the United States.
Therefore, when Wei Tong said that she was asked to pretend to be a girlfriend and marry him, she thought about it and agreed, because she needed money and needed an identity that could stay here for a long time, so the two people hit it off, they had planned to take two photos and get a marriage license to complete the parents' task, but when they heard that their son had a marriage partner, the old couple was very happy, they flew in the air overnight, and they also wanted to hold a grand wedding for Wei Tong.
Wei Tong, Simon, and Wei Wei had no choice but to complete the process they had agreed in advance, so Simon became their landlord, and Wei Wei also began to get along with Wei Tong, and the arrival of the old couple completely broke the balance between the three people.
Wei Tong's parents did not agree to his request not to do the wedding but only to get a marriage license, they also repeatedly said that they want to hold a lively wedding for them, coincidentally, when their family was eating at the restaurant, they met a subordinate of the old father, and this subordinate happened to be the owner of the hotel, so in order to help the old man complete his wishes, the boss decided to hold a grand and lively wedding ceremony for the two newcomers, and Wei Tong and Wei Wei, who were forced to be helpless, had to obey everyone's manipulation.
Chinese-style weddings have always been lively and no taboos, it may be that "sex" has been suppressed by traditional Chinese etiquette for too long, it is not easy to mention as a taboo in normal times, but in the wedding can be arbitrarily played, people can unscrupulously make jokes about new people, they also use the tricks they usually dare not think, dare not say dare not use in the wedding, everyone looks very happy, and everyone gets considerable satisfaction, Only two newcomers were manipulated like puppets.
Their boldness and openness made the Westerners astonished, the final climax was the part of the cave room, under the coaxing and compulsion of friends, Wei Tong and Wei Wei were forced to strip off their clothes on the bed covered with quilts, and the people who saw this scene in the cave room walked away, probably because both of them drank a little wine, the two of them actually faked the drama and really did it, and this time, Wei Wei was actually pregnant with Wei Tong's child.
Everything that followed changed dramatically, first of all, Gao Mu found out about Wei Wei's pregnancy, and after knowing this, Simon could not stand it any longer, he had a fierce quarrel with Wei Tong, he questioned Wei Tong's love for him, they had an argument in English at the dinner table, and Gao Father suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground.
In the corridor of the hospital, Wei Tong confessed to his mother about him and Simon, the sad mother had no way, she just begged Wei Tong to hide from his father, who returned from the hospital was carefully cared for by Simon, and although he did not speak, he seemed to know something.
One day, father Gao called Simon outside, he gave Simon a big red envelope, and thanked Simon for taking good care of Wei Tong, it turned out that he knew English, that morning he already knew his son's love affair with Simon, but he still hoped that everyone would keep this secret, he had accepted Simon in his heart, but he also hoped to keep Wei Tong's child.
The whole family is living in such a well-known environment, and under the persuasion of the high mother, Wei Wei decides to keep the child, when Wei Tong takes Wei Wei and says to Simon, "Are you willing to be the father of this child?" Simon was so touched that he had already thought about leaving the house, and in the end the three of them formed a family of special significance.
At the end of the film, the father and mother have left the United States, they have let go of the knot, they understand that as long as the son is happy, they will be satisfied, love between the same sex is indeed unacceptable, the education we receive and the environment we face make us have a shameful psychology for this behavior, but for love, it is really not prescribed, it must occur between the opposite sex.
"The Wedding Feast" is a film released in 1993 by Ang Lee and the second of Ang Lee's "Family Trilogy", this film inherits Ang Lee's soft style full of fireworks as always, Ang Lee's films generally start from the United States, but he spreads a Chinese culture, "sexual culture" has also been involved by countless directors, but the love between the same sex is still not widely accepted and recognized.
Probably Ang Lee is influenced by Western culture, he knows how to grasp the degree of emotion in a good dimensional space, in 2005 his same-sex film "Brokeback Mountain" won the Academy Award, this "Wedding Feast" involved in the emotions of course than "Brokeback Mountain" to come a lot softer, it will be China's hidden "sexual culture" interpretation is in place, a lively and grand wedding banquet but wrapped in two people who do not love each other, this is a farce and a marriage without winners.
Love, in fact, there is really no need to mix many human factors, personally think of love, it is actually very simple and simple, love is love, it is the most direct expression of emotion, it should not involve race and gender, it is very pure and straightforward, and for the love of others, we actually do not need to say much, do not point fingers without empathy, everyone has their own right to choose love, a happy life is the paradise that each of us wants to go to!
