Film A continual favorite
I love this movie. It manages to be funny, tender and real all at the same time. It also opens with one of the most droolworthy sequences I have ever seen. Never watch on an empty stomach.
Film One of Ang Lee's best
I remember long ago seeing this movie on VHS and it moved me quite a bit. Since I'm Chinese in real life it's something that could be well understood—and appreciated. There is a lot of Lee's touches to this and it's one of the modern foreign classic movies. Small wonder "Tortilla Soup" was based off of this — the dynamic of both families in their respective movies are similar.
