The screenplay concerns a gay Taiwanese immigrant man who marries a mainland Chinese woman to placate his parents and get her a green card.

" The Wedding Banquet" is a co-production between Taiwan and the United States.

Helen Lee (director)
Helen Lee( born c. 1965) is a Korean- Canadian film director.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, she emigrated to Canada at the age of four and grew up in Scarborough, Ontario.
Interested in film at a young age, she took film studies at the University of Toronto and, later, New York University.
While in university she was influenced by gender and minority theories, as reflected in her first film, the short" Sally's Beauty Spot"( 1990).
While continuing her studies she produced two more films before taking a five- year hiatus to live in Korea beginning in 1995.
After her return, she released another short film and her feature film debut," The Art of Woo"( 2001).
She continues to produce short films, although at a reduced rate.
Lee's films often deal with gender and racial issues, reflecting the state of East Asians in modern society; a common theme in her work is sexuality, with several films featuring interracial relationships.
Ang Lee
Ang Lee( born 23 October 1954) is a Taiwanese filmmaker.
Born in the Pingtung County of southern Taiwan, Lee was educated in Taiwan and later in the United States for further study.
His filmmaking career has seen him experience international critical and popular acclaim and a range of accolades.
Lee garnered success with" Pushing Hands"( 1991)," The Wedding Banquet"( 1993), and" Eat Drink Man Woman"( 1994), which explored the relationships and conflicts between tradition and modernity, Eastern and Western; the three films are informally known as the Father Knows Best trilogy.
The films garnered Lee success both in his native Taiwan and internationally, precipitating his arrival in Hollywood with" Sense and Sensibility"( 1995), for which he received critical praise and a number of accolades.
He went on to direct films in a broad range of genres, including the drama" The Ice Storm"( 1997); the Western" Ride with the Devil"( 1999); the martial arts" wuxia" drama" Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"( 2000); the superhero blockbuster" Hulk"( 2003); the romantic drama" Brokeback Mountain"( 2005); the erotic espionage period drama" Lust, Caution"( 2007); and the magic realist survival film" Life of Pi"( 2012).
Much of Lee's work is known for its emotional charge and exploration of repressed, hidden emotions, which commentators believe is responsible for his success in offsetting cultural barriers and achieving international recognition.
Lee has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, of which he has won three: Best Foreign Language Film for" Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and Best Director for" Brokeback Mountain" and" Life of Pi", becoming the first non-white person to win the latter.
