So, 'The Story of My Son' is a pretty intense drama from 1990 that dives deep into familial struggles and the weight of personal loss. Li Tzu-Liang, who's just lost his wife, grapples with the daunting task of raising two sons while juggling financial troubles. It’s not just about the money though; there’s this palpable tension as he gets tangled up with some shady loan-sharks. The pacing feels deliberate, making you really sit with his despair, but there's also this underlying hopefulness that creeps in. The performances are raw, capturing the emotional turmoil vividly. It’s not flashy with effects or anything, but the storytelling is what sticks with you, a mix of heartache and the dark alleys of life in Hong Kong.
The story is heavily character-driven. · Intense exploration of familial relationships. · Strong atmosphere of despair and hope throughout.
