《喜宴》：喜？不喜

不得不说，《 喜宴》是一部可以证明李安的片子，而不是《卧虎藏龙》、《断背山》，更不是《色·戒》。

喜宴，喜在哪里？在婚礼上高爸的笑容里？在那些宾客满意而归的脸上？还是伟同和weiwei强装的婚纱照？就在闹剧的最高潮，李安亲自上镜说了那句看似不着边际的话。这些表面的喜，是悲凉的，东方文化被谨小慎微地解剖，如果你只看到了婚礼的繁文缛节，只看到了老人抱孙子的强烈愿望，只看到了中国人对同性恋的不理解，那你就对不起李安了，而李安也不惜直接用台词讲出来，中西文化的对立都源自压抑和自由的对立。

喜宴，不喜在哪里？印象最深的大概是伟同的说不出来的表情。伟同的不喜，是因为他力求皆大欢喜，又不想牺牲自己的喜，幸好最后的结局还算喜，可以说是导演“仁至义尽”了。如果说伟同代表夹在中西文化之间的男人，那weiwei就代表了中西文化交融的女人，而这个人物似乎容易被忽视，所以这里就多说一些，weiwei对没有爱情的婚姻寄予期待，是传统的她；后来发现这不现实，就想打掉孩子去追寻自己的生活，是西方文化熏陶的她；最后还是和伟同、Simon组成了特别的家庭，是折衷的她。

这些年轻人找到了一个delicate balance，是妥协，也可以说是中西文化的交融，这也正是贯穿李安作品的东西。而对于高爸和高妈，恐怕谈不上交融，最后高爸在机场接受安检，双手举起，酷似投降，是东方向西方的投降吗？这得问导演，不过至少也是打开了东方文化的门，话说回来，两个星期的美国之行，足够让高爸这个中国老人举手吗？这得问自己了。

第二篇：电影《喜宴》英文影评

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 Weitong’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.
