Here is the requirement for the essay:
Hong Kong cinema is more than martial arts and action. The second part of the course examines dramas of love, fantasy, journey, 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 new identities for themselves: be a different person, go to a new place, enter a relationship, or feel nostalgia for the past. Discuss the ways in which these characters change, pursue dreams, cherish old relationships, or search for new identities. Please also briefly comment on the stylistic characteristics of each of the directors and films.
Minimum six full pages in length, double-spaced, and coherently written. Font size 12. Please italicize all film titles, book titles, and journal titles; indicate page numbers; maintain proper space and margins (one inch on all four sides);
Please only use the following movie for reference:
Durian Durian (Dir. Fruit Chan, 2001)
A Simple Life (Dir. Ann Hui, 2012)
In the Mood for Love (Dir. Wong Kar-wai, 2000)
