A film dealing with racism, but ending on happy note
av-ankur19 October 2014
This is a short film which deals with racism in everyday life in China. A Chinese-African couple invite scrutiny from neighbours and misunderstandings from others: this leads to tensions in their relationship itself. The African guy, the foreigner, who has to bear the brunt of scorn, ridicule, sympathy, condescension, and rage, is thankfully a happy-go-lucky guy who yells in anger with as much promptness as singing the tune of a Chinese song. Explosive situations finally defuse in humour, and this educational film is all about not jumping to conclusions too soon. This is not a film to search for, but if you come across it, then it's an interesting watch. The traditional Chinese song played as the theme track is a lovely ditty, worth many hears.
