Cult


I never watch an episode of the latest drama When Heaven Burns (天與地) because I spent all the nights in the hostel. However, it appeared to be very interesting and very unorthodox.

The most stunning idea in the drama was known to be cannibalism. There are a lot to discuss about this practice when you are the critical moment of life because you will make a choice on whether Utilitarianism will outright anything to justify the act. But sadly, I can see no commentary in the web talking about the issue. The director and the writer will surely be disappointed.

Of course, there are still a lot of funny things that sculpture the drama to be a cult one. Politics. Corruption. And Rock n' Roll. Something we seldom see in these 10 or even 20 years of TVB drama. People just love the drama.

The director has something to say to us. But whether we are intelligent enough to understand, we are not quite sure. As we can see, we are a commercial city and we all are the slaves of consumerism. The C Lais will dominate the public opinions and mark a drama or a movie.

I cannot stop thinking about the famous line. "Hong Kong is dying, you know?" I knew that the drama was shot 2 years ago.
