This is supposedly directorial debut of Ang Lee the Oscar winning director

Although dated and the conversation were a bit slow and boring but we understand the moral and responsibility that the director trying to project in the movie.. it was sad that the father does not feel belonged and became a liability to his son Alex.. it is totally relatable in our Asian community that is commonly happening even in this ages or even worse

The movie have a simple plot yet the meaning is so deep and resonate among us.. I especially like the way it ends that the father found a way that can be mutually beneficial to his son and to him..

The movie touches not only the relationship within the family yet also about newly immigrant to USA and how the father cope and in denial and later acceptance towards the end flourishes.

Lang Hsiong deserves the best golden horse actor award for his portrayal of the father.
