Taipei Story 1985
Taipei Story masterfully captures the essence of its characters, creating a deeply immersive and introspective narrative. The protagonist, who works in the U.S., retains a strong sense of his Taiwanese roots, while the female lead, working in Taiwan, exudes an Americanized perspective—reflecting the cultural dissonance shaping their identities. Shot in 1985, the film authentically portrays Taipei at that moment in history, highlighting the profound influence of the U.S. on Taiwan’s societal and economic landscape.

The Brutalist 2024
The Brutalist succeeds in crafting well-developed characters, making them one of the film’s strongest elements. However, while the character portrayals are compelling, the overall narrative lacks the same level of depth and cohesion. The pacing occasionally falters, with certain moments feeling stretched while others rush through crucial developments. Visually, the film embraces a stark and atmospheric aesthetic, but its storytelling struggles to fully engage. Similar to other recent films that prioritize style over substance, The Brutalist presents an intriguing premise but ultimately leaves gaps in emotional and narrative impact. Despite its strengths in character development, it falls short of delivering a truly immersive cinematic experience.
