Hi everyone! My name is Ko Long and I was born and raised in Vancouver. My family is from Hong Kong so I speak Cantonese at home. For this project, I decided to review the documentary film "Linsanity", the story about Asian-American basketball player, Jeremy Lin.

This is definitely something that everyone in this class has experienced, so I hope you can read through it. Please feel free to leave your comments about my movie review!

I decided to review a Taiwanese film that was released while my parents were living in Taipei, called "Eat Drink Man Woman".

Hello everyone! My name is Jasmine and I was born in Taiwan but I grew up in Vancouver. I can speak both Mandarin and English fluently.
I love watching movies so therefore, I would like to share a movie with you that both my mom and I enjoyed watching. In my essay, I introduced the movie, "Dying to Survive". This is a very touching and influential movie which was based on a true event in China. Many of its citizens were suffering from Leukaemia because they were unable to afford the high costs of the medicine. Therefore, a man called Chengyong decides to smuggle cheap and untested pharmaceuticals from India. Even though he knows that it was a crime but he still did it because he wanted to save these patients.This movie not only shed light on the social issue of poverty but an extraordinary man who risked his life to save many more around him. I hope you will love this movie as much as I do!

Hi 🤬! After watching your video about your family outing, my heart was filled with warmth and it made me appreciate the rare opportunities I get to spend with all of my family members. To me, the most memorable parts of your video was when your family decided to eat at a Thai restaurant because your grandma loves seafood as well as the time when all of you went to get bubble teas together.  And even though you and your brother don’t like to exercise, you still managed to walk along the seawall of the Stanley Park with your parents. Your food preferences or hobbies may be different, but each of you still took each others’ liking into consideration. I think that’s what being a family is about - being able to put aside the differences and enjoy precious family time together! I really enjoyed watching your video and I think you did a great job on this project :)

Laugh,

Hello KoLong! I really enjoyed your essay. I am not that knowledgeable about sports/basketball, and this movie review piqued my interests. I found your essay relatable in a lot of ways, as my family moved from China to Canada (they were also considering  America) so I could grow up in a better environment/have a better education. My parents undoubtedly faced lots of hardships/racism, and I did as well growing up. However, I agree - with more and more Asian families immigrating to Canada/US, their influence has helped to rectify this. Jeremy Lin's story in the movie, although exaggerated to be more interesting, is very inspiring. The way he achieved his dreams and became an icon for 1st generation Chinese-Canadians/Chinese-Americans to look up to is important, and I am glad to have read your essay and become more knowledgeable about Linsanity and Lin's influence on Chinese-Americans/Canadians. Your essay was very organized, interesting, and sectioned off very neatly. I also liked the pictures you added as they helped me get to know Lin better.

Hello Sharon!
I really enjoyed your narration, your mom/sister's guest Q&A appearance, and your honest opinions about the love story in Cape No. 7. I found it relatable when you gave us your true opinions about the love story between YouZi and Ajia; about how although their story is a good one, it isn't very realistic. I appreciated your blunt honesty. However, I love that although you and your mother share difference opinions about what makes this film memorable, both of your passion for this movie still shone through. I liked how despite your difference in opinions, and although you were from different generations living in a different country, you both still found it memorable and shared your love for the film and the film's story for us.
I really liked how your mother talked about how happy she was about the film being well-received, and that the film represented Taiwan/Taiwanese people well, as well as how the movie showed how beautiful the sea was. I liked the clips you used, as well as the way you spoke - your speech made me feel comfortable and welcomed and captured my interest.

I've never watched this movie before, but watching you video made me very interested in looking it up and watching it myself. I liked that based on what you've described of the plot, the movie seems to challenge a lot of social norms, particularly in the way that the women in the film are portrayed as promiscuous and more than just two dimensional, bland characters that they usually are portrayed as in Western film. I especially liked that you talked about your parent's personal connection to this movie, as well as the historical significance behind the movie's political climate. I think you did a really great job at looking at this movie beyond the superficial level :)

Hi Sean,

I've also watched this movie before but your interpretation of it was very interesting, especially when you compared it with 红楼梦. I resonate with your thoughts on how the freedom to choose makes us more picky and less tolerating to our significant other. I think my mom would've had the same opinion as your mom, perhaps they prefer traditional aspects about culture and history other than high school romance which may seem childish to them. I have a few questions for you: Did you like the ending of the movie? Given the opportunity, what would you change? Also, if you like watching Taiwanese romance comedy movies like this one, I recommend Our Times 《我的少女时代》 if you haven't already seen it.

-Your classmate,

Hi Ruth! I really enjoyed your movie review on High School Musical. High School Musical was one of my favourite movies when I was young also, so watching your review also made it very nostalgic for me. I really enjoyed that your sister in law shared her high school experience as well. I found it interesting that your sister in law said that if a Chinese director was to film High School Musical it will be more exciting and more emotional. It makes me really want to see how the movie would turn out if it was directed by a Chinese director. I really enjoyed your video as it was very organized and very thought out. Every time I listen to the High School Musical songs, I always feel the urge to sing along!  Your movie review makes me want to watch it again !

Hi Michelle!
I really enjoyed your movie project. I can tell you put a lot of effort and hard work into making it so good! I liked how you identified the main themes such as family, class, and love. I liked your analysis of how class and wealth don't always go hand in hand: some wealthy people only know how to spend money. Also identifying the importance of image was really interesting because Astrid's outward image totally doesn't show her marriage issues. Good job!  -Gabby Han 韩佳仪

Hello Crystal! I really liked how you incorporated scenes from the movie itself in your synopsis and review. I thought your discussion of Eastern and Western families' attitudes towards a family member with an illness is very interesting. It was insightful of you to point out how in the East people tend to see themselves as part of a larger whole, while in the West people grow up to be independent and lead their own lives. Overall, your video and analysis was very enjoyable to watch and listen to! -Gabby 韩佳仪

Long time no see Tim! Your essay was written beautifully and I had a great time reading through it as I’ve already seen Mulan, but reading through your unique perspective also granted me with a new found respect for the movie itself. I could tell your personal comparisons were really meaningful, especially when discussing the amount of pressure that you are subjected too and the many traditional Chinese practices that you still partake in due to the very traditional nature of your family. Your comment on how this movie may not accurately represent the transformation of China to westerners is also something I heard from my grandparents as well during my movie review. There concern of China’s reputation to foreigners was their first immediate concern and they also felt that the overly traditional nature of my film may have posed a problem. All in all this was excellently written and I’m glad to have been able to read such a profound essay from you! ~Tony, 小川

Hi Annabelle,
I thought your essay was thoughtful and well written. I watched this movie a few months ago and I also think the previous versions were better. I liked how your comparison of attitudes towards marriage between our generation and your parents'. To me, finding someone you like is important but at the same time you should consider what kind of future you two will have together. Your essay was delightful to read, great job! -Gabby Han 韩佳仪

Hello Daniel! I really enjoyed watching your video. You were clear with the story synopsis while also found ways to incorporate your own thoughts and opinions in creative ways. I think it's interesting that you discussed the various views people have of this movie (i.e. perceiving it to be a form of shaming on the government). You made the movie sound very appealing and after watching your video I have a greater interest in checking this video out! -Gabby Han 韩佳仪

Hey Michelle! I really enjoyed your video. I really like how you touched on many deeper themes involved with the film such as family importance, social class, and the difficulties of love. I found it really interesting that the movie related to your parents situation! I'm really glad that you were able to see that connection and share the idea that true love can conquer any boundary, even the boundaries of social class.

Hey Helen! My mom also really likes this movie and keeps telling me to watch it. I kept hearing that it made people cry so I wasn't sure about it but after watching your review I feel like I really need to watch it now! I liked how you said the moral is to enjoy our youth and do what we think is right. Many people seem to have this prejudice against teenagers making mistakes but I think our youth is supposed to be the time where we chase after dreams and do things that we didn't regret in that moment. I have《 小幸运 》on my playlist, it's such a good song! I love your project, amazing work! -Gabby Han 韩佳仪

Hey Iris! I was really touched by your movie review and the great relationship you have with your father. I like that you brought up the importance of our parents. My father is actually still living in China, working hard to earn money to support us over here in Canada. Your review has reminded me to appreciate my father and mother even more. You said that this movie is one that will be able to change my outlook on life, and I look forward to seeing that. You have convinced me to watch this movie! Good job with your review, the way that you presented it is very pretty!

Hey Michelle! I really enjoyed your movie review on Love and Basketball. You gave a very thorough overview of the movie and presented some very interesting points at the end. I think my parents, who are also very traditional, would have similar views to your parents.

Hi Jasmine! I actually watched this movie the day it was released and it really touched me. It really moved me to see Cheng Yong having a change in his mindset, from someone who only cared for wealth to being so selfless. The most touching moment was when all the patients took off their masks to show appreciation for Cheng Yong. This movie is completely different compared to the movies from our parents generation and I also agree that we hold the power to change the future through helping others. The quote you added into your essay also moved me since that really was what Cheng Yong strived for in the end. I’m so glad you chose this movie and can tell you worked hard on your review. Good job! - Cindy 加美

Hi there! My name is Esther Li (李明泓). I'm from the CHIN241 001 class. Wow. I've seen posters promoting this movie around Vancouver and even though I told myself that I must see it, I haven't gotten the chance to. Thank you for this wonderfully humorous and informative video. And props for not spoiling it!! Your pronunciation is very clear and your sentences flowed really well. All good things to say here. Thank you for this review and I'll be sure to watch it over the break :D

Hi 潘麒! I really enjoyed watching your film review. Your editing was great and it definitely did the movie justice! While watching the summary section, it really made me feel grateful for all the firefighters in the world who risk their own lives to save others. I also agree with you about how we should never give up, regardless of what challenges we face in life- a message that is strongly conveyed throughout this movie. The story of these firefighters in Dalian is remarkable and inspiring! I will definitely watch this film soon :-)

Hey Kris!! Great job on this essay! Karate Kid has always been one of my favourite movies :-) Your plot line summary was very detailed and thorough and I also enjoyed reading your analyses! It was refreshing to read not only about how Dre was able to succeed in the art of kung fu, but also about why you think his opponent ended up losing to Dre in the final match. I agree with you that succeeding in kung fu is definitely not just about winning matches! It was also interesting to read your mom's thoughts about the movie, it's great that she was very honest. Loved it!!

Hi Andrea! Your film review was very well done :-) Always Be My Maybe seems like a very cute and touching film. Similar to you, I also love how this movie has an all Asian cast- a great step towards equal representation in the western film industry! The comparison between your parents' views and your friends' views on this movie was a great touch! I've always come across this movie on Netflix, but never ended up watching it. However after watching your review, I'll definitely check it out soon!

Hey Sharon!

I really enjoyed watching your film review! You captured the essence of the film really well and definitely made me interested in watching it in the future. As Iris mentioned above, I also liked your honesty when reviewing this film, you didn't hold anything back when you voiced your opinions that this love story wasn't realistic.

Personally, I really enjoyed the part when you had the Q&A with your mother. She brought up many interesting points and offered a fresh perspective. When she brought up the historical references in the movie regarding the rocky relationship between Taiwan and Japan it brought back memories of my talking to Chinese people of older generations, many who remember the Chinese civil war and their conflicts with Japan.

All in all, I really liked you review and you raised many interesting points. I will definitely check this out in the future!

Hi Julia, I'm Sean (杨易宣). I have actually seen this movie recently in theatres and this was definitely a masterpiece. On top of the capitvating suspence and mixture of humour, there were plenty of symbolic elements that contrasts the societal struggle between the rich and poor as you highlighted. Many people focus on how the film focuses on korean society, but I believe its a broader reflection of the societal class sysem present in every society on earth. The film reveals a stark reality that we live in a system in which the  rich rides on the labors of the poor and one scene that really illustrates that is when the father replaced the old resident in the bunker trying to evade the police, showing that there will always be a rich person living upstairs and a poor person living below. What makes this film so amazing is not because it highlights issues such as the widening gap between the rich and poor, but because it is able to reveal the explosive weight of reality that we can all relate to. What was your favorite part of the film? Overall, great review!

Hi Victor, I'm Sean (杨易宣). I really enjoyed your movie review of The Captain! The biggest takeaway I got from your review was the importance of maintaining professionalism and cooperation. I liked how you pointed out that overcoming monumental challenges is not simply about heroism, but instead involves a rigorous process of unity and teamwork. This reminds me of a time when I was on a flight that was in a very dangerous situation. During landing, the wheels of the plane were not coming out and we were forced to fly in circles for a few hours. Despite the panic and inconvenience, the pilots regularly reassured us that everything was going to be alright and that they were doing everything in their power to fix the problem. The level of professionalism in prioritizing passenger safety was well done and we were able to land safely after the issue was fixed. Had the pilots not handled the situation with care and precision, my life that day could have been at serious risk if they decided to conduct an emergency landing without calmly considering every alternative. Overall, I loved your analysis!

Hi Qi, I'm Sean (杨易宣). I really enjoyed your movie review of The Bravest. This movie reminds me of the Tianjin explosions in 2015 when over 150 people were killed in a series of explosions due to overheated containers at a storage facility. Over 100 of the casualties were firefighters. I agree with you in that society as a whole tend to overlook the importance of the role of being a firefighter, but it's large-scale events such as these that illustrate their bravery and sacrifice for public safety. Like you mentioned, their role goes beyond simply firefighting as they are the first responders that arrive at the scenes of medical emergencies, even before ambulances. This just shows how significant being a firefighter really is. Overall, I really enjoyed your movie review!

Hey Billy!

I really enjoyed watching your film review! You gave a very detailed and comprehensive summary of the film, which definitely captured my interest!

Personally, I enjoyed the part where you interviewed your mother. When you asked her why she brought you to watch this film when you were a kid was definitely relatable! Many times our parents will think of creative ways for us to learn and enjoy ourselves!

A slight area of improvement would be to make your audio more clear (during the interview section) or perhaps add in some subtitles there.

Hey KoLong!

I really enjoyed reading your film review, I have seen this film myself and it was inspiring as an Asian-American kid who also loves playing basketball. Not only that, but as you discussed, his story represents many of the struggles immigrant families face when they come to America. A lot of the discrimination and difficulty discussed was also faced by my family when we first came so this hits home for me. Additionally, as children of first-generation immigrants we can all relate to the sacrifices our parents have made just to provide a better life for us.

All in all, I really enjoyed your review and it triggered a lot of younger memories I had.

Hi everyone! My name is Erica Yang and I am a third year Computer Science student at UBC. I was born and raised in Guangzhou so I mainly speak Cantonese at home. My parents have not seen very many classic American films, so I thought it would be interesting to share The Breakfast Club with them and write about their thoughts. I chose The Breakfast Club due to the many relevant topics that are discussed throughout the film. I hope you enjoy my essay, please feel free to leave any feedback!

大家好！我叫杨嘉颖，现在我是在UBC学计算机科学，在大三。我是在广州出生和长大的，所以我在家里平常都说广东话。我的父母没看过很多美国的电影，所以我觉得和他们一起看The Breakfast Club然后写关于他们的想法会很有趣。我选了The Breakfast Club因为电影里面说到很多有意思的话题。希望您喜欢我的文章，请随时给我一些反馈。

Hey Gabby! I really liked that you chose a fantasy related movie to share with us. You said in your review that for each time that your parents watched the movie, they had different reactions, ones of sadness and ones of laughter. I think that this is really inspiring and makes the movie so much more meaningful. I have a slight recollection of watching this movie before in the past, but your review has convinced me to go watch it again! Great job!

Hey Ash! I really enjoyed reading your film review, Crazy Rich Asians is also one of my favourite movies! In your review, I really liked your summary, you captured the key events of the movie perfectly! Additionally, I personally enjoyed how you brought up the music used in the movie. You specifically mentioned "I can't help falling in love with you" (originally sung by Elvis Presley) which was covered by Kinna Grannis. I think the music choice in the movie was very interesting and this was evident from the opening title card. It really allowed the audience to experience authentic asian culture and music.

Hi Billy!
I thought your entire video was very well put together. I think your synopsis was very concise and intriguing since the scenes you included were all entertaining, but still relevant to the main idea of the plot- a balance that is usually hard to achieve. That part really captured my interest.

My favourite part of your video, aside from the summary scenes, would probably be your interview with your mom. I thought the interview portion was very endearing as you related your questions back to your childhood.
From watching your project, I realized that I too, have seen this movie with my family as a child as well! brought back many vague memories of watching Chinese movies with my family.

Only improvement I can think of you probably be the absence of English subtitles during your own opinion of the movie- but that wasn't really an issue.

Hello Michelle! WHAT IT DO BABY
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I know nothing about basketball so I am assuming that each quarter you referred to in the video was a reference to basketball, which I thought was very creative and it really caught my interest. Because your plot synopsis was so good and concise, I feel like I know everything there is to know about the plot, but yet, I still want to watch the movie.

From your intergenerational analysis, I agreed with aspects of your opinion, and I also side with your mom on some of her opinions, such as, how Monica shouldn't have ruined Quincy's engagement.

Last of all, I thought your editing was very good, especially the soundtrack. Each of the background instrumentals really emulated the moods of each scene very well, the it complimented the points you were making very well.

Hey Kris! I actually watched this movie several times after it was released. Your analysis in was so well written and detailed! Great job pointing out to the fact that teachers really impact the well-being and performance of the student. I really agree with your thoughts, especially the part that the movie kind of made Chinese kongfu seems so easy to be mastered within such a short time. I really enjoyed reading both your and your mom's opinions on the movie! So glad you picked this movie, well done on the essay!

Hi Andrea! I actually watched this movie like 2 times and cried both times! Just like you, when I first heard about it, I was super happy because it had an Asian cast. It was a such a success film for Netflix, and that means there are going to be more opportunities for Asian actors and actresses if they have such a huge support, therefore I am so glad you shared this movie with us! My friends also loved watching it because they also want a supportive relationship like Marcus and Sasha! Great job on the movie review, I love it!

Hello Helen! I really enjoyed your movie project! I have actually been recommended to watch this by friends and have watched clips together with them in high school, but your movie project has convinced me to watch the full movie. In your review, you said "the process of first love is not bound by cultural beliefs and practices", and I found this really inspiration/touching, and I agree. Despite Western and Asian cultural differences, I think love isn't restricted by culture, and that it can be enjoyed/understood by people of many different cultures. I agree that despite living in different generations, many people will still be able to enjoy this film; I think my mother will also love this film, and she, like your mom, also grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution. I think, as cheesy as this sounds, love is an emotion that's understood across different languages/cultures, and this is why so many people (including my friends at high school) have enjoyed this film and have recommended I watch it. I really enjoyed your video! It was really well made; it had good, explanatory clips from the movie that matched what you were talking about.

Hi 潘麒! My name is Andrew/维思 from class 001! This was an amazing video review. Your spoken Mandarin is fantastic, and I think you did a good job explaining this movie. Not going to lie, the entire time watching this I was on the verge of tearing up, because city crisis like these are so devastating on citizens, and fire fighters sacrifice everything for your civilian safety. Their bravery and nobility is commendable, and seeing a movie made to represent their struggles and victories is amazing. I'm sure a event in Chinese history such as the one in Dalian being represented in a heroic movie like this does a huge justice to those who were affected. I'll have to watch this movie soon.  Thank you for sharing this movie with us！

Hi Sean!

I really enjoyed your written project! What was most memorable was when you connected your movie to 红楼梦. I think it was very  good that you were able to make connections with contends from class because as a reader, I will be able to reflect more personally as we studied 红楼梦 before. I also really like the your format. It is very clean and easy to read. I think that the images you chose and the topics you choose to reflect and make connections with are appropriate and makes sense. Once again, thank you for your hard work and GOOD JOB!

Hi Ruth,

I really enjoyed your movie review. It has been a very long time since I last watched High School Musical and after watching your review, it really helped me remember how good High School Musical was. Now, I want to rewatch it because of you! I really like how you include an interview which really shows how deep your analysis on High School Musical was. I also think it was very good to incorporate yourself into your video because it really personalizes the video. I think the questions you asked are also really appropriate and how the questions aren't just about the movie but about other bigger topics that can relate back to High school Musical. For example, music and other topics. Overall, I really liked your edit and content. Good Job!

Hi Nola!

I really enjoyed watching your video! You articulated your Chinese pronunciation very well! I remember watching clips of the this movie on Facebook. The way the dad cooks is very aesthetically pleasing, it was almost like ASMR. I really like how the 'wrote' not he video and its very immersive. I think this had a great affect on viewers as we follow you wrote and guides us how to understand each picture.  I like how you made the connection where the dad is the 'old Taiwan' and the daughters were like the 'New' but with western influence. I really want to watch the full movie next time!

Bro,
