Article Weekend Recommendations: Father Knows Best
How much i loved the character of the father in "The wedding banquet" he knew was best for his child, he knew that heart and love are far better more important than appearances tradition or inheritance, doesn't matter who you love, if you re loved back it becomes more powerful than any other thing in the world, and he knew and he understood and supported the couple acknowledging his son in law, till now i remember that scene and makes me wanna cry. I know that LGBT+ people in China go through weddings, gay and lesbian in order to fulfill the familiar mandate and be happy by themselves as well, but i don't know if you know that China was more open minden years ago, recently has become more rigid about it, reinforcing conservative values again in the society in order to have more control. But this movie is Taiwanese where can convive without clashing, tradition and accepted new forms of love, parents are more open minded and even in a discreet manner give the couple a ceremony for their marriage, both wearing traditional attires, so sweet, hope in the future China allows again the connection between parents and childs in the same way, with honesty and respect but acknowledging their child's ways of love. Ang Lee and this actor are so amazing.
