My parents saw it last weekend (and said that although they'd gone by themselves, they looked around the theatre afterward and recognized a lot of faces in the local Taiwanese-American community); my mom said that because she'd left Taiwan in the late 70s, there were actually a few events that she hadn't heard about. Curious if you've compared notes with your parents. :)

Lecture mode - sigh. Well, oh well. I'll still watch it and see how it goes. (Though, it doesn't come to Seattle until April.)
