Dream, Journey, Identity
Hong Kong cinema is more than martial arts and action. The second part of the course examines dramas of love, fantasy, journey, search, and self-discovery in Hong Kong cinema. Characters in these films seem to harbor a big dream: a “Hong Kong dream,” a “California dream,” or a “New York dream.” With the passage of time, they attempt to create a new identity, be a different person, go to a new place, enter a relationship, or feel nostalgic for the past. Discuss the ways in which these characters change, pursue dreams, cherish old relationships, or search for new identities. Please feel free to consult relevant discussions in Planet Hong Kong by Professor David Bordwell, the anthology A Companion to Hong Kong Cinema, and the special section “China and China Diaspora Film” in the online journal Jump Cut. (See the syllabus for details.)
In your analysis, you should discuss the films of at least three different directors. You may focus on one film from each of the three directors. You should analyze at least three films altogether. Please also briefly comment on the stylistic characteristics of each of the directors and films. Once again, like the midterm, both what you write and how you write are important. Avoid simple generalizations. You need to refer to specific elements in the films. Coherence, organization, and elegance are important criteria for good writing.
Important Note
The purpose of the paper is to fulfill the requirement of writing an expository essay in English at the college level. Plagiarism is not tolerated. If a student’s paper shows a high percentage of similarity to existing online or print sources and does not cite the sources, this constitutes a possible case of plagiarism. Using AI or a translation app is also considered plagiarism.
