The Wedding Banquet
“i hope someday you can do what you want, because i couldn’t. i hope you can love who you want, because i couldn’t” the only problem i had with the movie is the amount of cuts and fade to blacks instead of actually seeing the scene play out but overall i really enjoyed and it was WAYYYY more emotional than i expected. i cannot count how much i cried especially with the conversation between all of the characters its everything, i love everything. granted that my mommy issues took so many hits i did still love everything abt it. the complexities of the relationship between all the characters made this movie so whole, so heartfelt and its so beautiful. its like watching a telenovela but its in a form of a movie, i really really love it. i love you my silly little dysfunctional messy poor decision making found family. I ESPECIALLY LOVE YOU LILY GLADSTONE AND KELLY MARIE TRAN.
The Wedding Banquet
This is a beautiful movie but their relationship is too complicated. Lesbian mother, Gay father? Gay and lesbian friends? I am so tired of watching it. I also was surprised to see Han Gi-Chan debut on American movie screen, last i saw him in Where Your Eyes Linger, even though his English is very stiff, but I like it.

The Wedding Banquet
I watched this for the first time and really enjoyed myself because of the beautiful comedy and the amazing representation of gay couples, as well as the exploration of the effects of deeply rooted traditions surrounding marriage and family issues. However, despite all these positive aspects, what troubled me the most during my first viewing was the rape scene. I didn’t fully process it at the time—it lingered in the back of my mind, and I just thought... cheating? But when I watched it the second time, I realized the truth: the girl raped him and called it "liberation." He feels uncomfortable in that house because his rapist has created an environment where he can’t be at ease around her. She has made him feel as though the 'sex' was somehow his fault, which really rubbed me the wrong way. They never address this issue—it’s just glossed over. Nobody wants to talk about it, especially him, and most of all, her, because she believes she’s done nothing wrong. I initially liked Wei-Wei, but over time, I realized just how selfish she is—of course, she’s desperate for a green card, but her selfishness becomes even clearer when she decides to keep the baby. This decision shows she doesn’t really care about the two guys; she’s only looking for comfort and something to hold onto for herself. In the end, I found the conclusion disappointing. The first time I watched it, I felt the ending was lackluster, and on rewatch, I still didn’t enjoy it. I loved the dynamics between the characters, but everything fell apart due to a plot that didn’t really need to exist.
