For a little information on the history of the time, China had been at war against itself for 22 years, and it had ended only 11 years prior to the history of this movie, it being from 1991. The people suffered immeasurably during the Japanese occupation of both continental China and Taiwan, which had ranged even longer. Everyone we see had stories of war. I don't mean the characters, but the actors too. Their families had lived lives of violence until now, and still lived under the constant thread of it all regressing, of the little peace they had being destroyed. They were trying to rebuild a nation that hadn't existed for pretty much all their lives.
The inspiration for the film was the real-life murder of a teenage girl by a classmate, committed in Taipei on June 15, 1961, an event that deeply affected filmmaker Edward Yang and other members of his generation in Taiwan. In fact, A Brighter Summer Day's Chinese title translates as "The Youth Killing Incident on Guling Street." The English title for the film comes from a line in Elvis Presley's song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Elvis sings the line, "Does your memory stray to a bright summer day," but the characters in the film mishear it as "a brighter summer day."
@@EJalbert93 "A Brighter Summer Day" by Edward Yang. In the description you can find all the info you need. PS: in this pinned comment i also explain the title origin.
one of my primary goal with this channel (other than having fun editing these) is to show people movies they maybe never heard of, and hopefully make them wanna watch them and explore new kinds of cinema other than the mainstream one. glad you liked this! i suggest you to recover all the Edward Yang filmography, because he is one of the great ones!
this was so beautiful, it made me drop everything to watch a four hour movie that i ended up loving deeply. thank you so much for putting this together, the editing really highlights the sense of loneliness in the film very well.
My knowledge of the film only used to be the narrative you’ve crafted here in this video, but half-way through my every rewatch of this vid, I always end up putting my attention away from the visuals so that I can better experience the film once I watch it myself. Now that I have, I’m very glad I didn’t watch the video all the way through until now. I honestly believed that the film’s conflict would revolve around some girl accidentally killing another kid, but the film turned out to be so much more and not even close to what I imagined it would be. I thank you not only for making this amazing video, but also for recommending me a great film.
Hey so a long time ago I asked you abt this movie, watched it constantly, it meant a lot to me man n I come back to this sometimes when I feel I’ve hit a low, just wanted to say you not only gave me the opportunity to watch this beauty, but it really opened my mind about a lot and just wanted to say thank you as I don’t think I’d have done this good for myself hadn’t I seen this :), W clarencito
maybe it's better to start Edward Yang with "Taipei Story" and "YiYi" (you can find both videos on my channel, all of them with Current Joys soundtrack)
SPOILER WARNING / i just finished the movie, and there’s one shot in this movie that caught my attention just now. when they’re filming a dinner scene, they catch the shot right through a heavily barred window. i wonder if that’s foreshadowing to si’r’s fate.
