Featured review
Salute to the director
The director is young and new, yet he manages to portray the details of depression and illision to the full in the movie. At his age, he should not have such deep understanding. He must do a lot of resaerch on the topic.
The story not just show what is psychiatric illness, but the living condition of HK people, working life of white collars and problem in psychiatry service...... Extremely rich in content, i can hardly get a breath throughout the every moment of the film.
The brilliance of the movie is demonstrated when compare to other movie of the same theme. Beautiful mind, It is ok that is Love, kmhm, kdrama. In these stories, the sick male leads are either genius, handsome, meeting good doctors, recover well. No miracle is found in Mad World. It is a realistic movie portraying everyday life of a mental patient. It is not entertaining. You will feel blue after seeing it. So, a brillant movie can just earn a score of 7. And it fail to go into last round of Oscar.
The acting of leads are ok. I have no particular complaint, except the father. Tsang is too experienced an actor. You always aware that he is acting a role. Overacting i would say.
I also feel unfair for the movie to show the government psychiatry as cool and robot like doctor. It is a great discouragement to those doctors truely concern patients.
The scene I remember most is in the christian church gathering. Average men are too ignorant of mental illness patient. They think they are helping, but actually are worsening the illness of patient. Public education on society should be strengthened so that patient could better fit into the society.
The director is a potential star in hk movie industry. Hk people should be proud of him
