Zhang Yimou on Family Values

Like Little Miss Sunshine and Ran before it, it's a film about a dysfunctional family (aren't we all), with the children going through a rebellious phase (don't they all).
But what you take home from this film, the one indelible lesson, is this:
Nothing, but nothing, gets in the way of family dinner.
I'm gonna sit my kids down, and make them watch that flick ten times, until that little lesson is permanently ingrained.
