1) Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.
In class we mainly discussed the difference between the taiwan, american, and chinese filming styles of cinema. We also discussed how the plan got very complicated for the couples. The techniques of getting a message delivered to the audience, directly or indirectly, is efficient or not.
2) Find a related article and summarize the content. (on the film, director, studio, actor/actress, artistic content, etc.)
This article is a review from the NY times. The author goes in depth the characters roles in the film, and how each character role was pivotal in getting the message across to the viewer. The director had a large list of problems he could focus on but he mainly focused on the affair Wai-Tung and simon had going on. Wai-Tung starts to become americanized but then falls back to family traditions when he gets a visit from his parents.
3) Apply the article to the film screened in class.
This article helped me realize the true meaning of this film. The fusing of different cultures can lead to self infliction. Wai-Tung is has to figure out his positions on topics such as gender, race, and ideals. Irony drove this film completely.
4) Write a critical analysis of the film, including your personal opinion, formed as a result of the screening, class discussions, text material and the article
Overall this film is a great depiction of man caught between doing what's right for self himself, or doing right by his family. This film was very slow at first, but grabs your attention with all the twist. Even though Wai-Tung might be homosexual or bisexual, he still married Wei-Wei to satisfy his parents. You can expect all different emotions from laughter, sorrow, to confusion at times, but each character triggers something. I would compare this film to meet the fockers.
