Do you like the characters at the wedding reception?

Both the wedding banquet and scrapping are about the collision between Chinese and western cultures, so we should create a collision point, that is, the conflict point between Chinese and western cultures.

"Wedding Banquet" chooses the problem that homosexuality violates China's deep-rooted ethical concept of "there are three unfilial things, and no posterity is great", while "Scraping" chooses the problem that scraping with Chinese medicine is not accepted by the West and is mistaken for child abuse. Obviously, the wedding banquet is not gay, and scraping is not scraping. But in the choice of theme, the wedding banquet is more ingenious. In fact, the issue of homosexuality is controversial not only in China, but also in the West, but it touches on the family ethics of male domination in China. Such a theme is a good melting pot. If you put the characters in, according to China's inherent ethics and the western "theory of human nature", their respective roles will basically take their places. The theme of scraping, the point of drama, is too far-fetched and the director is not very objective. If the director intends to promote China traditional culture represented by Guasha and Journey to the West, this theme is too big and has little to do with "people". So specifically, the director of Scraping just made a prop to promote the plot, and did not dig deep.

However, homosexuality is controversial and dramatic, and there is a lot of room for expansion. Scraping is really trying to shape the roles of the pros and cons with all one's strength, and pushing his own extreme contradictions and conflicts to the extreme. In this sense, Guasha can only be regarded as a very standard sitcom, but The Wedding Banquet completely transcends the level of half a sitcom and discusses more in-depth issues on the cultural level.
