While most of Chinese/Taiwanese film directors spend their effort on the past legend,Tsai focuses on the present city life scene.It's always an unhappy challenge to deal with Reality and it needs a lots of guts.And Tsai does it faithfully. The father and son's love/hate complex is not a surprise in the asian society.This is more than a homosexual movie. While Lee An is trying too hard for the happy ending, Tsai is more interested in individual identity that has long been a fatal conflict in most asian families.
