PARADE PROTEST
October. 01,2023
PARADE PROTEST compares a 1930 Taiwanese film outtake of a procession during Japanese colonial rule to the 2014 Taiwanese student protests against pro- China economic policies. The diptych traverses across varying truths in audio-visual documentation between the past and the present by offering a nuanced understanding of power and self-determination on the island of Taiwan.
Reviews
Highly Overrated But Still Good
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
