Interesting, Thank you for sharing. Getting just a few minutes of audience clapping I think may not a Wow movie for Cannes audience... right? I think the whole outcome is quite a popcorn movie for me, yes those hot young guys and old guys are great in the movie. Especially like the end credit "mocumentary" like clips to recreate the life in the Walled City. I just hope this Hong Kong Film is big enough to let the world discovery nowaday Hong Kong Cinema looks like...

I agree the movie is about the 80s but also mirrors the feeling and emotions of nowadays hkers who experienced the geopolitics in last few years It was not perfect and had many problems but hkers find their living in this place; however, the gov was tearing down and the people living in it don't have a say of it. Also recommend the song played at the ending, the lyrics are great fit of Chan.

(Steve here) Yes, these are emotional times in HK as a lot has changed and it's natural these emotions will come out through art

Back to the days when I was a child, there was a little temporary building on the rooftop of my opposite building. It’s a place for people practicing 神打 San4 daa2, it’s actually a way people believe you could become superb by possessed by “gods” they believe! And you could tell it’s very common back in the days! This is why the badass Wang is unbreakable in the movie, which is also a way to salute to the 80s of Hong Kong too!

(Steve here) Very cool!

Speaking of it being unrealistic, did you guys know that it's adapted from a Hong Kong comic?

@DeepDiveMovieReviews 24 дня назад

(Steve here) I did not know that 😳

@user-lo4vf9bm2v 24 дня назад

@@DeepDiveMovieReviews Initially it was a novel, and then the comic adaptation became popular in and around Hong Kong. The director has tried to find a balance between reality and fiction, as the comics is total fantasy. I do think they should have indicated what this was adapted from before the film, rather than in the ending credits. Most people have no idea what it is. It would be best if they made it like the opening of a Marvel film.

@jongunkim6297 Месяц назад

As for the title, I think the decision is based on that the director might want to be deliberatly less specific as the chinese title, so associate more to the current situation of hongkongers. Borrowed time and place. Identity issue. Unknown future.....

(James here) I just don't think it's very catchy or memorable.
