Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe son, Alex, has physiognomy that is unmistakably that of someone Beijing, and the actor speaks with a Beijing accent, but the father, who demonstrates Taiwanese cultural practices, has the appearance of someone from farther south, such as near Shanghai. Regardless of whom the father might have married, the couple could not have produced a child with such Northern characteristics. This is a casting error more than a character error.

Featured review
Tuei Sho(Pushing Hands) is Ang Lee's first film after graduation, and the first episode of his "Triad of Father." In spite of its status as an early work, it manifests subtlety, elegance and articulation in narration style constantly seen in his latter works. Everyone, whether seen this film or not, can tell that it's about the bondage and gap of affection, relation and interaction within family, but it's more than that. It also tells about culture, not only the apparent differentiation, but the shift within a man's life, the time and the whole modern history of China. If you understand Chinese(language, culture and history), it is delicately overwhelming. If not, it's still amiable and a bit exotic. Tuei Sho is so worth viewing and contemplating again and again.
