if not on the cover of this Yinzhuohesuo Sontag and two who generously for the kind words, I might never Southeast Asia will know that there are such a good movie, but the fact is I am glad that I can see this film, it goes far beyond most people's impression of the film to the Philippines, experts vision is sharp. :-)
the beginning of the "sweet nightmare"may make you feel very amateur film, the original, as if the film lovers with a simple Since the equipment up by tours goods, but in fact this is its advantages lie. This is a director I experienced on a semi-autobiographical film about a Filipino living in remote villages in young people (directed by Kidlat
Tahimik personally played and also the same name), Taxi Mi is the minibus driver, a day soliciting money to go to the city of Manila, he to the United States are very interested in anything, be it film, music, or his dream Valentine's
--
Miss America, he will listen to the radio every day is the "Voice of the United States", particularly for the old U.S. space program, fascinated, special worship from the defection of the East German rocket scientist Werner
Von
Braun, also a village group WVB fans Association, to recruit members to do some local children, and through land sales for the Ice Bar of the Philippines Miss Universe fund-raising activities.
beggars can not think like this guy is actually directed Tahimik. . . :-O
Taxi Mi gradual degradation in that village, unable to keep up with the pace of the times, the villagers backward way of life so that he felt sad And even despise from heart grow up with a friend, because he is now Zhuwu craftsman, although construction Filipino Zhu Wu is the traditional skills, but is now not many people willing to learn, and the Taxi Mi want is more spacious and bright Buildings, to lead a more modern "of international life."One day on the road he met an American businessman, businessmen are required of a private driver, and therefore Taxi Mi came to Paris with him. Initially living in Paris, he was so fresh it, but as his only friend, a Paris street vendors because of the small nearby supermarket industry by bullying and persecution can not be the ultimate suicide operation, the start of this money Taxi Mi supremacy Capitalist society had a doubt, why the world needs is the first supermarket » Why numerous old buildings were pushed to the top after the luxurious villa built more » He tried to use against its own way, but soon realized useless, and timely awakening from a dream, to return home.
videos focus on the capital demonstrated the rich countries in the Third World poor countries in the field of culture of aggression is still the existence of the phenomenon, is the director Courage can be a model for their analysis, even Ah Q and self-irony, and his thinking and experience is exactly contemporary all Filipinos to face a real problem, how the foreign culture under the strong expansion To see self-and guardian of the most precious living essence of traditional culture, obviously Taxi Mi tried to use a fable-like story to make people reflect on their inner thoughts true. Tablets in Paris to see him all he wants is precisely the expression, the capital of the mutual annexation of the cold-blooded and merciless, the developed countries do not like them, as advocated by the beautiful, despite being artificially Guoshang the sweet Jacket, but when you really experience the depth to which, it gives you it is the nightmare.
how to prevent their being misled by the phenomenon of surface » This is a Third World country people should think about the issue. Tablets of the American businessmen 3.10, although on the surface of said he did not support its own foreign cultural policy, is able to accept the folk culture of other countries, because they do not want to put up with the local people and livestock and livestock Gongcheng a car and choose After sitting in the baggage car shelves, attracted a burst of Hong Xiao, this humorous scenes imply that the pretentious white capitalists are hypocritical. Taxi Mi with the U.S. and throw away the old jeep renovated to become a new tool for their own profit, the director here is people want to criticize the foreign accept the so-called "resources"but in reality is the dregs of things calm attitude is in fact For the further expansion of cultural colonialism provided the conditions.
has a unique culture as a vanguard elements of the film, the film folk scene of a large number of ecological and folk songs have been very attractive , Including many Southeast Asian traditional ritual and festive scene of the camera, and even some adults at the scene of the true, simple and direct the filming techniques added a more realistic images, film and fiction mixed record in two forms, very often you The documentary is to see the scene, but the figure is the voice-over dialogue or inner monologue of the actor, despite the separation of this picture is used by film pioneer the performance of one of the practices, but also seems to imply that the movie player with the then popular "Internationalist world view "between the reaction force and exclusive.
