@bicmay #TheWeddingBanquet2025 #AAPI #Movies

I just saw the Wedding Banquet at my local #AMC & this article helps to better inform #KellyMarieTran's performance in it.

However, I don't agree with the author of the article that this film was a remake of the original.

It's an entirely different movie which is only loosely based on the original and should stand in it's own right as a #queer #AsianAmerican #film that serves as a counter point to #JoyRide (2023), which was a mainly #straight Asian American film which also had a uniquely open (for an Asian American film) #sexual perspective.

I just watched the newly released #TheWeddingBanquet (2025) at my local #AMC.

This movie is NOT a sequel NOR a remake of the original film of the same name -- #TheWeddingBanquet (1993) which was produced & directed by #AngLee.

It is an entirely different movie based on an entirely different plot which is only very loosely based on the original.

Without giving away too much, I'd characterize the new movies as strictly gay version of #ModernFamily (which only had 1 gay couple among many other characters in it) which demonstrates all the same conflicts & insecurities & problems that all couples go thru, whether they are gay, straight or whatever. Life is complicated & it is no less complicated (& perhaps even more complicated) for gay folks.

I liked it and would give it a 7 out of 10 which is same that I'd give for the original. I already have a copy of the original on #DVD in my collection & will buy a DVD of the new movie if & when it's ever released.
