rU kidding me?
Don't impress me except Ms Bau. She is good and Chan is good too. They both deserve the best actress in main and supportive role. Director, just like 30 yrs ago RTHK situation drama. No film language.

I agree that it doesn't have the type of film language in the traditional sense, and that's exactly what I've been trying to say in my opening post.

However, it's very refreshing to see this kind o ...

Did you watch Mui Lan Fong?
Leon is not my cup of tea and he is not good either.

You never called yourself an expert, but you said you have more experience watching films than other people who are younger.

I only say I'm in the entertainment business much earlier than those so call film critics.
I know what they don't know.
I never justify their point of view. I just in some way disagree with them.

Art is all about creativity, not about experience, I totally agree.
If you want to paint a portrait, your imagination is vital yet you need the technique to express it.
Then, your experience is.............
Most great filmmakers starts from short film, documentary, to build up their knowledge in film making before they can express their thoughts and views through movies.
