      Powerless Love
      At the first glance, it's a movie about a father's love to his daughter; however, the director and writers also depict the fleshed face of the government and law. The black and white scenes for me is just the right type for the story: you can see the motion under a somewhat gentler texture; nevertheless, under the softened scenes is a strong emotional pulse, just as behind the weak protest, there is strong love, and behind the super-facial smile, the officers are actually care nothing about those who voted for them. This movie, all in all, projects the true society in Taiwan, and I highly recommend it to movie-goers.
