天水围的日与夜 The Way We Are (Movie Review)

剧情简介
天水围位于香港新界元朗区，原是一条小围村，1980年代末被港英政府发展成为以住宅为主的新市镇，但今天它的30万居民多为底层劳工（其中有诸多新移民及大陆新娘）。由于天水围发生过多起震惊港媒的伦常惨案，该地被视作“悲情市镇”，可是其中多数居民平日其实过着与其他港人并无差异的生活，相依为命的贵（鲍起静）与张家安（梁进龙）母子便是如此。
年纪轻轻便守寡的贵14岁出来做工，先后供两个弟弟念完大学，如今他们做成富贵人，她依旧是超市女工一名，但是她并不觉上天待她刻薄，每日生活都很乐观。张家安是乖乖仔，会考完毕没找暑期工做的他多数时候会呆在家里睡觉或看电视，外出见朋友、参加活动的时间非常有限。母子一起坐下吃晚饭聊天时，说的也是该买哪家报纸一类再平常不过的话。
与他们住在同一栋楼里的阿婆梁欢（陈丽云）是新搬来的住户，她每日过着郁郁寡欢、斤斤计较的孤独生活。凭着曾在市区卖过果蔬的经验，她在贵工作的超市找到份工。起初，她与贵不过是见面点头之交，且神情相当冷漠，但慢慢地，贵的慷慨与无私融化了她心中的冰山。而贵在了解到她的心结后，给了她更多温暖，两人渐渐亲如母女。
日子一天天过，张家安亦从母亲身上、几件平常事中了解到生活的多面，舅舅们并没在心理上疏远他们母子，每人都有自己的生活要过。他做好了若是会考成绩不理想，便出来做事的准备...

I watch this movie because of Pau Hee Ching, she is the elder sister of the Oscar winning photographer of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Their father who is also an actor, Pau Fong. She won the Best Actress Award this year in the Hong Kong some sorts of Oscar... I like her acting even before she won anything...

Ok, I'm out of my line. This is a really touching movie for me. No action, no climax, not even overwhelm drama scenes, but every shot really relates to us. A very usual movie revolving around a mother and her boy, and their new neighbour, an old mother. Her basic life shot, was very tear-jerking... coz it's just what other lonely senior citizens would do.

Ironically, Kuai, the mother, might not seem be so close to her own mother, but she really cares about her. And somehow, she treats her new neighbour as the replacement of her mother. When her boy thinks his own uncles won't care about much about his mother and he, they turn out offering to support him study overseas. This just shows that life is just like that, surprises pop up in the moments that you less expected... especially in this movie.

Trivia: You would see directors acting in this movie, and even the actors and actress themselves are good, but not so in fame.
