But 's not a "gay" film and 's not a "foreign" film, mix the elements really well to a very typilly Hollywood story. Ang lee's The Weddg Banquet is a great addn to gay film.
Younger generatn(s), multi-racial upl, gay upl, gay Asian Amerins, immigrants, pri, fay valu and while I found the endg of this movie somewhat unrealistic (I'll let other viewers ci) I also found the film challengg and optimistic (which is where my realism tak over) should watch this movie if you are Asian gay Asian AND gay or simply want to learn somethg about another culture. Props to Ang Lee for creatg a unique opportuny to look to two very distct and different cultur at the same time: Asian Amerin and gays the early 90s.
