Director’s Statement 導演的話

Excerpt (節錄)

“All Shall Be Well addresses the volatile matter of survivor’s rights within same-sex couples and the relatable highly emotional issues of grieving families and family dynamics. Our film questions what the meaning of ‘family’ in the modern context is. Do blood relations automatically have more rights than a life partner? What is more important – properties or years of personal relationships and shared histories?

All Shall Be Well is a natural extension of my most recent film, Suk Suk which reflected on the meaning of family and inequality in our society. Once again it is a film that will place a spotlight on the lives of the underrepresented in our metropolitan city.”

「電影並非要去批判任何一個角色，亦不是要去塑造一個千夫所指的反派、萬人景仰的英雄或教天地動容的受害者。如同現實世界，從來沒有非黑即白的人和事。作品不溫不火地逐步揭露或展現不同角色在不同處境下的取捨和人性表現，從而締造出一個多角度的敘事和思考空間。唯有這樣，角色方能演活戲裡戲外種種真實人生。

《從今以後》是《叔•叔》的延伸，延續反思「家」的意義，揭示社會上的不公，並反映在繁華鬧市中弱勢平民的生活和掙扎。」
