weekly film reflection on MADE IN HONG KONG – A film by Fruit Chan
Hong Kong (1997) of 3-4 paragraphs in length, responding to the discussion questions in the lecture slides. You do not have to engage equally with all of the weekly discussion questions in your film reflection; you can choose one of questions or prompts and focus your response on that
However, its important than you actually view the film;
one of the questions :
Analyze the representation of the youthful protagonists in Made in Hong Kong
Does the film depict the protagonists sympathetically or with pity? How do the film do this, i.e., through which filmic techniques?
Do gangster films and the genre of heroic bloodshed (e.g. A Better Tomorrow in week nine) glamourize and celebrate violence?
Or do these films aestheticize violence to critique Hong Kong society?
