An emotional movie doesn't need intense conflicts, stimulating special effects, or pretentious casting. A story that came from my heart was so refreshing. May god bless HK, Wish the brave Hong Kong people to kill the evil dragon.

A story that came from my heart was so refreshing.
Surpisingly interesting film
I thought I would have felt bored at some point because of the genre of the film. Taking care of a handicapped old man cannot develops sopfisdicated plot that attracts audience.
To my surprise I feel not even a moment of boredness and the movie successfully captures my full and unbroken attention. And I can hardly explain why. It is just like the movie has magic power.
I will try analysing this magic power later on when I have time.
HK film industry turning a corner
I was surprised by this film. It's a little overdone and cheesy but the great acting by Anthony Chau-Sang Wong helps carry the film along. Crises Consunji does well as a newcomer. She has a difficult role to represent the hopes and dreams of domestic helpers in Hong Kong. I've been disappointed by HK film for the last decade or so but there's some signs of a new beginning in the emotional intimate film. It doesn't have a big budget, and it looks to be shot on video but the colour grading and scenes are very lively and interesting. The sets help carry the viewer deep into Hong Kong subculture. It's important that these smaller films get made to show to international audiences. Things are looking up for HK film industry
