Hence I can very well understand that this movie would appear even more magnificent for those who, like you, understand one or more of these languages. But, even without that, I was loved this wonderful work.<br /><br />As for Tsai Ming-Liang, I've watched just one film of his - Rebels of the Neon God, and I'd found it decent, if not great.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-19494062725640889172012-06-12T00:41:27.540+05:302012-06-12T00:41:27.540+05:30This is really a great film about Taiwanese identi...This is really a great film about Taiwanese identity in particular and filmmaker identity in general. Too bad that the English translation coming along cannot capture the nuanced code-switching between the usage of Taiwanese, Chinese and Japanese. But surely, there is a lot about social change in this film as opposed to the historical depth revealed in Ho's "The City of Sorrow."<br /><br />I would love to learn how you would think of Tsai-Ming Liang, whose films are more quirky and abstract. <br /><br />NJzolachaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06438824136557364587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-25755104791722790632010-03-16T22:57:32.980+05:302010-03-16T22:57:32.980+05:30Thanks a lot Bill for stopping by.
