Excellent and hilarious

hahaha this movie makes the Chinese seem so crazy! Even that one line pointed it out, "you're witnessing the results of 5,000 years of sexual repression." But I've been to Chinese weddings and yes, it was so much pomp and circumstance. I'm Asian-American too, so talk about pressure of glamorizing your wedding night and making showy gestures to the several hundred people that show up! And older generations love to justify this behavior by claiming it's owed to them just because we're their offspring. Look, I'm all about supporting the ones who've raised you but this is insane. A wedding should be done the way you want it done, not as an excuse for your acquaintances to remember you by with a huge bash. Honestly, Ang Li is such a pioneer for directing this film especially in the early 90s when homosexuality was a much more divisive issue. Also, it lampoons Taiwanese society as well in a near-scathing, edgy way but you can't help but appreciate the very specific point of view he's taken.
