Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death.
Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.
《歌舞昇平》裡有幾個如果是肥皂劇劇情肯定會被安排連成一線的家庭,他們口中的悲慘命運是如此曖昧地有異曲同工之妙,令人在觀看時會想那是誰的誰,那人跟那人又有什麼關係。
其實唯一的關聯是五個家庭同樣領取「綜援」,但每個故事卻往不同方向發展。他們貧窮的理由或許不一樣,處境也不一樣,結果,卻都發展成十分相似的生活狀態,殊途同歸的境地,幾乎都是對貧窮的習慣和適應,影片裡穿插著過年的片段,又和典型中國人過年有難以區分的相同與不同。
The film explores the hidden face of poverty in one of the world's most affluent and capitalistic cities. Directed by CHEUNG King Wai (KJ: Music and Life), the film follows five Hong Kong families of different backgrounds that receive government subsidies. How do the poor get by in a glossy city that flaunts conspicuous consumption and hides poverty in cavernous public housing estates? All's Right With The World shares the different stories of these low-income families, their daily living conditions, and their ways of celebrating Chinese New Year.
