During the premiere and exchange session on the afternoon of April 16, Tung Leo – one of the three directors – explained more about editing the film’s content: `The film was postponed to be edited more carefully, more suitable for the majority of audiences.
When making films, I like to be bold in using language and images, doing everything `to the end`.
Tung Leo also said that the film may encounter conflicting views from the audience when it exploits the topic too boldly.
`The reactions of the audience or the censorship board all have their own reasons. My mission is to accept all compliments and criticisms. I hope everyone can calmly watch and feel the film before giving their personal opinions.
