Review of Fleeing by Night

There are two reason why I write this review. First, I like this movie, it is a good film. I only feel pity that the film concentrate only around the three main characters but not much about the relation between the rich man and the theatre actor (Lin Chung). It has only shows a bit but immediately hide it. In their "love" scene, it seems that Lin was not really forced but someway somehow consensual. At the end of that scene, they are a kind of "holding/leaning on each other's naked body. At the "running away" night, when the rich man was watching the opera without Lin in, his eyes are red, there were tears in his eyes. It would be much nicer and richer if there was a sub-plot for that. The movie talks about gay love, the encounter between the young guy and the theatre actor is simply not enough for that.

Secondly, please do not compare this movie with films from Wong Kar Wai as one of the viewer has done. This movie is far much better than those artificial films from him.
