also I read the other article on gztz, which says the movie was called "the best gay movie from East yet". I totally disagree. Wedding Banquet is very good,it is funny as well as serious, talking about the social problems for gay couples. Happy Together, which is about more similar topic as LanYu, gay love, presented a much more sophisticated and real gay love, the sadness, the loneliness of the couple and how easy it is to break their love. And the actors are much better. Somehow I just feel Lanyu and Handong in the movie acted so unreal and unnatural, they dont look like somebody in love with each other AT ALL. I will never love a man like that, as shown in the movie...... u just dont see that intimacy, closness and attachment from either of the 2 guys. .... maybe some people like it because they are not gay?? hehehe
Yes, It is already on in Hong Kong. But you know, I like the original written story much better. I remember I cried several times reading it on the internet but I did not at all in the theatre this time. The 2 actors are Ok but just feel not that real and natural and their love story is pale without much time showig how they really love each other, communicate to each other, in their souls and minds.... very weak and pale love presented by the movie.
