About this product

Product Information

Gao Wai-Tung (Winston Chao) lives the good life: He runs a successful real-estate business in New York and has a wonderful relationship with his lover, Simon (Mitchell Lichtenstein). The only problem is that his elderly parents in Taiwan don't know he's gay--and they're pushing him to get married and present them with a grandchild. So, with Simon's approval, Wai-Tung strikes a bargain with Wei-Wei (May Chin), a charming young Chinese woman who is one of his tenants. If she'll marry him, he'll help her get a green card so she can stay in the United States. The charade culiminates in an elaborate Chinese banquet that no one will soon forget. The second in director Ang Lee's Father Knows Best trilogy (completed by PUSHING HANDS and EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN), THE WEDDING BANQUET established Lee as a superior observer of intimate and domestic life. Cultural miscommunication, the obligations of tradition, and the difficulty of coming out as gay are all depicted with both hilarity and heartbreaking reality.

    The tin sign took a little while to arrive but was packed super safely in thick layers of cardboard to avoid damages or bending. The sign's actually a bit darker than the picture but I guess that's because of the camera flash (my tries of taking pictures caused the same, brighter results...) The price is reasonable, so are the shipping fees, the recipient is also super happy and thus so am I. Thanks a lot!

  • A romantic drama filled with comedy, or a romantic comedy filled with drama. Take your pick.

    THE WEDDING BANQUET is, now, a 30 year old film about a gay son whose parents want him to marry and produce a grandson. He is happily partnered with a man, but is afraid to tell his parents about who he really is. Fear keeps him in the closet, causes him to lie to his parents, and causes numerous complications. Ultimately all is revealed, and everyone gets what they want, if not in the way they expected.

  • Still timely today with Chinese outlook

    Saw this during year it can out on cable TV. It was definitely a risky movie for the Chinese audience to watch and to admit approval of having a gay son or daughter back then. Even now, it's difficult for Chinese children to come out to their parents and for their parents to approve. My ex-husband and his brother each have gay sons whom they weren't willing to accept when each came out. It took awhile for each father to accept his son and continue to live him. It still remains an issue in the Chinese culture to readily accept a gay child in the family so movie's plot line could still happen today.

  • The Wedding Banquet most of us would never have

    This is a gay sort of coming out movie. As a spoiler, gay men and straight women do work out sometimes. The film is intriguing to the extent of where Simon will be at the end. May Chin (Wei-Wei) is really funny and plays the part very well. I enjoyed watching the wedding picture process, the gown was gorgeous, but it looked really expensive. I recommend this movie!
