For Real

This show is definitely a MUST SEE for those who are sick and tired of Hollywood crap. The story is ordinary but it's told in earnest, something that has largely been lacking in movies today.

The story revolves around the lives of lonely people, their interaction with society and their subsequent actions. With brilliant direction, the actors come alive, painting credible desires and universal fears.

The audience is able to empathise with the characters and hence, share in their pain and embrace their dreams.

Response to Reality

This film, like Chen's first film "Tropical Fish", presents to us a series of situations that border on the line of reality and fantasy. What's great about this film, and "Tropical Fish", is that the situations are just real enough to make them believable and so full of child-like optimism that you can't help but fall in love with those involved.

Chen Yu Hsun (陳玉勳) I believe has a full understanding of how hard reality can be, and I believe that his films, however idealistic, are an answer to that reality: never stop dreaming even when the going gets tough.

Maybe, we go to movies because we want to be entertained, not to be reminded of the ugly side of the reality.

I have always wondered why there have been so few films about those who are less fortunate -- less power, less money, and especially less good-looking. Maybe, we go to movies because we want to be entertained, not to be reminded of the ugly side of the reality. This film defies that. It tells the stories of lonely people -- their dreams, and how these dreams clash with the reality. The film combined humor with some very serious emotions is highly entertaining and very effective.
