    A Confucian Confusion

    A different kind of Yang, something that confuses more than be confronted. Nevertheless, there is still enightenment with his flawed characters who made questionable decisions. Fakers are more real than the real, and the age of comedy and tragedy is long gone. Is emotion devoid of this modern world? Or are we just surpressing such feelings to make ourselves satisfied? There are still numerous questions as we go, but maybe that's life; and maybe we can still go out for a coffee with that person after all the messed up things that happened.

  • A Brighter Summer Day

    A Brighter Summer Day

    They live in their own make believe kingdoms, as a result of the socio-politocal state of the country. Gangs are rampant, family pressure is present, and the confusing thing that is love has to be dealt with. This is such an organic epic about growing up but at the same time, a raw tale of the shared trauma of the Taiwanese people. Every image breathes with life and that's what makes this even more tragic than it sounds. Such is the endeavor of the lonely human being in a place full of lonely people. Truly, a once in a lifetime experience.
