Social Issues and Bipolar

This is a gem. A low-budget first featured film shot within two weeks, talking about bipolar and dementia. It is somewhat like the The Father. It talks about not just living together in a tight spaced apartment in Hong Kong, it also showed how cruel and unjust the outside world is, beyond the apartment walls. It tackles important social issues, in Hong Kong. It not only discusses medical care, mental illness and housing issues, but also highlights the irony and conspicuousness of indifference and alienation in this sweltering and crowded city.

Even at the wedding event, how many of you really put your heart to congratulate and listen to the groom and bride speech? Or you are just there to mingle and get free meals? It shows lots of realistic feelings that majorities won't feel about. Sometimes people just needs to be slap and woken up. Just because one discharged from a mental hospital doesn't mean the person is labelled crazy, to be look down upon.

Some people may feel scared because the drama is too real. But also because of this, whether it is emotions, family, or love, there are always places that touch the audience and resonate with them. Many people will ask us if we have problems with our family or mental state, so we write such stories. People would expect that you must be such a person to care about such things, but it is not the case. Just like many people support the equal rights of comrades, they are not necessarily comrades, but we believe that this world is better. This is a value. If we all speak for ourselves, we can’t unite, and sports it will not be a big deal. More important Yes, have we thought about what kind of city, what kind of world, and what kind of life we ​​want.

This has won two 53th Golden Horse Awards; Best Director and Best Supporting Actress.

其實做個仆街仔真的好容易,麻煩的事情就放一邊不管咯,眼不見心不煩,可是逃到逃着就發現一切都無可挽回,不是什麼都可以外判給別人來做的。

小孩:為什麼我們種的那些花草會枯死呢?
阿東:可能是因為這裡沒有適合他們生長環境吧。
小孩:那我們就要想辦法讓環境變成他們可以生長的樣子啊!
