Fighting To Survive (2001) |
 |
|
|
This is a low budget comedy produced, written and directed by comedian Dayo Wong. In a post-retrocession and economic crisis context, a young man literally fights to survive. Due to a youth trauma, he cannot take any sort of transportation mean and he is stuck in the Tuen Mun area (a poor area in HK). To make a few bucks, he uses his brain and he develops some great ideas. Surrounded by other peculiar characters and friends (especially Sonija Kwok), he organises pyramidal scams or creates a bodyguard company to bring safely back home lonely females at night. Dayo Wong childish character is a kind-hearted guy firstly blinded by the actual consumerism and venality of the society. He has that strength to always fight to get what he wants, but he'll make decisions to help people first rather than to earn a few more dollars. The refreshing thing about this 'moleitau' (non-sensical humour) movie, mainly based on situation comedy, is that without special effects but only ideas and irony, it keeps the entertainment values high all the time and the surprise effects constant.
