PLASTIC CITY


The story started off as kind of immigrant vs local kind of power vs new Taiwain struggle. Immagrant being Yuda and 1/2 son. It's set in Brasil with Chinese immigrants. i got restless because each scene was so short.. hard to get into the story. turns out story is a facet to the underlying meaning of changing tides and changing world (under). Towards the end, a more symbolic approach takes hold and solidifies the message.

Each scene/shot set-up is meticulous to say the least. flawless light play and lighting. too bad didn't stayed for Q&A. I had question about the tattoo; the chop off arm; the white tiger; the Buddhist saying, and the ending sequence.

**spoiler** the ending sequence of chopping of a branch from a tree seems to say the old man do the work, hands the working knife to the next generation. And for the next generation to take over, it must kill the old ? But I can't see a regular audience can sit through this. solid effort though.
