Movie Review of Wedding Banquet
The movie Wedding Banquet is a very happy movie. Maybe the theme is all about the culture shock, it really make a lot of fun for us. We all enjoy this movie.
Talking to the culture shock, this movie draw us a picture about the shock between China and America, the shock between tradition and new tide. There are several moments which caught me in the movie.
America is very new tide, but they still could not accept homosexual at that time. When Simon went outside the house, their neighbors are whispering with such unkind vision. In order to welcome Weitong’s parents, they need to clean all the rooms and make sure that they would not find out the truth. This is the first culture shock in the movie, Simon prepared gifts for Weiton g’s parents to show his kindness, the blood pressure machine for Weitong’s father and the nutrition cream for his mother. The gifts make the father angry and the mother confused. In China, we will avoid the unhappy things when we choose a gift. But in America, they believe that gifts should be useful and functional. This is the second culture shock I met in the movie. In America, marriage is the alliance of two people. As long as they have done the oath and get the license, they are a couple in low. But in China, there are no marriages without wedding banquet. Only with the blessing of relatives and friends, the wedding means to be complete. This is the third culture shock I remembered.
This movie is quiet wonderful, and it is worth watching.
