When Cinema Reflects the Times: Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Edward Yang (1993) 

I don’t know how you did it, but I am enter ally grateful for you finding this video and getting subtitles on it. There’s so little on the Taiwanese New wave for us English speakers. This is such a treat. I cannot stop thanking all the people involved. Been looking for this doc for over half a decade. Thank you. It’s sad to see that Yang didn’t get his chance at a thriller or action film. Those would be crazy. So happy Hou got a multiple chances to explore Chinese culture. The contrast and rivalry between the two has given us such diverse films from the country. Glad people can learn more a out Taiwan’s history through this video. Thank y’all again.

Hey man this was great. Anything with Edward Yang in it is such a thing to behold as there isn't much to dig into outside his films. I really appreciate what you do with this channel. Many thanks

My goodness, thank you, thank you, thank you! All these directors have had such a profound impact on me and I have been waiting for the English subtitles for so long. You have honestly made my year!

Thank you so so much, you don’t know how grateful I am for English subtitles on this. I’ve been waiting for this day!

thanks for the upload! a favorite director of mine made a documentary about my other favorite directors?? wild. i grew up with their films!

What an incredible day

Thank you. So grateful to find this

just like the other's in the comment section, im very thankful for you uploading this video. edward yang is one of my favorite directors even after only watching a handful of his films. just rewatched a brighter summer day in theaters (fourth time watching the film), and i felt inclinded to look some things up and try to find out more about him. very much thankful, from one fan to another

There’s a translation of Hou’s words at the end where he describes making films to tell the story of the “Chinese nation” - I’d clarify that what he’s saying is more along the lines of “Chinese ethnic group” or “Chinese people”

Great Show, I come from taiwan, I never see this movie from taiwan, Thanks translate and upload.

mannnnn, I feel old now, at age... 36. But given that these three were quite old, perhaps it's not too late to start making some films about my favorite country: Taiwan

Yang is lookin' like a modern Taiwanese gangsta in that SuperSonics jacket :)

And this is the third film of Hirokazu Koreeda... Ican't find his second one called However...

You can tell both HHH and Edward Yang loves Woody Allen's Film
