    I saw this film accidentally at a film festival in Prague. Later on, I kept using this films as a audiovisual materials in my class. I really like this film. It's simple but very thought-provoking. The audience must have some background knowledge of Taiwan in order to enjoy more of the film. A innocently mischievous idea by the students entails with Taiwanese social phenomena and political ideals from the history. A light comedy carries the heaviness from the history and the society.

    Clearly somebody is screwing around with the rating here. This is no masterpiece, but it's definitely not a 3 star film. It's a solid, decent coming-of-age drama. I'm curious who is out to tank the rating.
