It takes some courage in the footsteps of the writer James Chamous and director Ang Lee, but Andrew Ahn has achieved something very special here with his great reinterpretment in Arthouse Hit 1993 Wedding banquet. His approach may be a non -apologize for all human attractiveness, somewhat complete for the prevailing masses (it is difficult to imagine something otherwise as any Jayyir), but do not be surprised by seeing the movie Ahn who floats to floating in giving the conversation this time next year, even if it is not Do that Crazy wealthy Asians The box office numbers.
Genius stroke in playing here is that Ahn has put some thinking about the way in which the original story can be preserved by the American Taiwanese man, crunchy with a fake straight marriage to satisfy his conservative parents- away from the age of gay marriage. His solutions are very genius and funny, and its largest changes see a playful reflection of traditional Asian stereotypes.
First of the gate, MAE-Chen (Joan Chen), which we see gets an ally an ally prize at the LGBTQ+ event in its hometown in Seattle. Away from her gay daughter Angela (Kelly Mary Tran) and her friend Li (Lily Gladstone), My Chen is cheerful, laughing at the time when the young Angela who watched lesbian porn caught, just to receive a surprising excuse that she was actually watching the art category Figure clouds. MAE-Cen also talks out loud about the last couple's attempt to carry with artificial insemination, his second attempt, using Taiwan Lev Hevalotin graduate as a donor (“He was his sperm for him very Expensive, “Purrs). As they are afraid, the Hamas My Chen is Jinx, and only has another path of the remaining treatment before the clinic closes its file forever.
Angela lives with Lee at her late father's house for her partner, in which she shared with the neighbors of the lower floor Chris (Boen Yang) and Maine (Han Ji Chan). It is a friendly family, but peace and calm were broken one night due to an unexpected uproar: Maine proposed to Chris, the clear terrorist, and Chris scares. In his defense, Chris knows that the visa of Maine is about to be completed, and that his wealthy grandmother is about to return to Korea to take over the family field. This is true, but who is not yet a green card. He says, “I asked you because I thought you would say yes.”
Chris goes out to a miracle evening with Angela, an old friend from the college, where he returned to find that Min and the guardian were planning. To preserve his grandmother in the Gulf and stay in America, Maine transforms the goal of his proposal to Angela, where he offered the payment of the last round of industrial pollination in exchange for citizenship. This is not perfect, but it is not ridiculous either, so all the four friends decided to go to everything.
There is only one problem; Jeddah Maine comes from Korea and insists on staying with Maine and his fiancée, which leads to a clear block from anything that dares, from the CDs and DVDs to a label announces the female music festival Lilith (“Everything in this sex is gay,” Angela screams) . It goes without saying that My Chen feels terrifying from the imminent news parties of the wedding parties: “I have put years in campaigns for gay marriage,” she says, and this is what I get. My daughter gets married man“.
But the grandmother has a more surprising response, as the film leaves the train paths and really comes. And he has another trick in his possession, a bomb development that plays a role on the day of the happy couple.
Unfortunately, it does not keep its opening momentum completely, as the renovated hypothesis leaves a much lower field of the advanced farce of the original and the end that some loose sides are slightly hanging. But this is the same Wedding parties 2.0 It revolves around the trip more than the destination; Among the main actors of six, this is in fact a band, and comedic springs, which are almost similar to the comic play, from the spark that fly between them.
The best of it, though, are mothers. Joan Chen, as it was always, let us want to want more, while Yun Jong, the younger-very wonderful in Lee Isaac Chung MenariNot to mention the wonderful piece of introduction for the year 2009 from E J-Yong Actresses– Once again, this charming MVP movie will not cry while laughing but you may laugh at crying. This, one suspected, is what Under Ahan was shooting him all the time.
