Ang Lee, director of The Wedding Banquet, evidently agrees with this view. Acting a bit part in his own film, he jokingly tells a Western guest who has watched in bewilderment as the wedding guests embarrass the newlyweds: "What you have just seen is the result of five thousand years of Chinese sexual repression."
＜喜宴＞導演李安顯然也同意這個觀點，他在劇中客串一角，就對來參加中國式喜宴，目睹客人作弄新人而大惑不解的西方賓客說了一句玩笑話：「你剛剛見識到的是中國五千年性壓抑的結果。」
