Movie Reviews of Lost in Time
Movie Review: a film about romance but also about life in Hong Kong
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this for the first time on a trans-Pacific flight back to the USA from Hong Kong. The film has a universal appeal because its themes--love lost, love found, and the redeeming power of love-- are universal. But as a native of Hong Kong who no longer lives there, I also thought it was ABOUT Hong Kong, that is, about what it really feels like to live in Hong Kong, to drive around and walk its streets. Anyone who has been to Hong Kong, or even seen pictures of the place, will have noticed the vital role played by the mini-bus in urban life. In this film, the lives of the protagonists revolve around the mini-bus, because the two men are mini-bus drivers and the heroine loses the one and finds the other because of her association with the mini-bus. So the mini-bus becomes the vehicle, literally and metaphorically, for a journey through life-- a uniquely Hong Kong kind of journey. Unlike many other Hong Kong films, which feature rich businessmen or corrupt policemen, "Lost in Time" shows life as it is lived by ordinary people of the lower middle class-- the vast majority whose major form of transportation is the mini-bus. But, like its protagonists, this film is modest and unassuming: no melodrama, no high speed chases. Yet people do die, they do face difficulty and danger, they do make mistakes that could cost them everything, because these things happen in real life. I suppose, to sum up why I think this is a great film, I would have to say: It feels real to me.
