Night Is Young

Another story soon be forgotten yet etched in our minds. The film did not extol this battle for democracy in Hong Kong that had erupted last year (2019). Neither was any emotion overblown, yet the film is so stealthily mawkish. Besides patent sympathy related to the taxi driver and the juvenile protestors, if you take a closer look, there are black-masked student coming out of the school, cameraperson adjusting camera to dodge riot officer's scan, and many real-world protests taken place around every corner of this city - or nation that somebody purports. The film does not fall short for its length. Audience who share any of these memories would also echo with this palpable anguish.
