Merry Go Round
Author: CCW // Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Entertainment, Movie Reviews
Merry-Go-Round is visually splendid, but its fragmented script and intrusive acoustic score make it a hard film to connect to on an emotional level. A noble, but highly flawed attempt at thoughtful Hong Kong cinema.
A dying drug addict ran away from San Francisco to Hong Kong, to meet up with a net friend she had never met. However, the one she ran into was an ill-tempered old man, who lived as a recluse at Tung-wah Coffin Home. A Chinese herbal physician, who had been staying in San Francisco over decades, decided to return to Hong Kogn when a deed was delivered by courier to her. The owner of a traditional herbal shop in Hong Kong, was a lad who hated to carry on his family business. He came to himself on account of three women. The world changes so swiftly, things we were once familiar with could just vanish in no time. A chance encounter with strangers could bring new horizon to their lives. You can always acquire a new life regardless of your age. You just have to believe.
