我私下稱呼這部電影為「斬人」，試圖把戲裏本要帶出的貼地、暴力和冷峻的訊息抽離一點。
故然這齣電影關乎暴力行為，充份展現家庭和社會有着千絲萬縷的關係。
但對我而言，這是一部描述同情心的電影。
我殺害你是為了讓你解放，
我跟你造愛，是希望助你實現自己。
我認為這是我參與過其中一部最真摯又貼地的電影。製作團隊找到關切的題材，反映了時代處境，成就這部出色的作品。
在我拍攝的細小空間，我發現演員…通過不斷地交流，學到如何一起締造成果。
正如我以前說過很多次，假如沒有演員的信任，他們做甚麼和為何膽敢去做…若沒有我們專心投入，絕對沒可能拍出這部如此聚焦、貼身、震憾又感人的電影…即使這部戲描寫的是一宗「斬人」事件。
製作電影是以信任為基礎。當然這部戲有劇本，有不同的場景，也需要演繹某些「內容」來填補故事空白…但稍等一下…當春夏脫下胸圍，我感受到她的信任和用意。而白只心無旁鶩的法庭戲…也絕對不像演出：這位演員擁抱着這角色的心理和責任。
當你跟意念相近的人走進這些空間，我終於了解電影為何重要：因為它不只是一部戲，而是分享人生最奧妙的地方。
I call this film " Chopping people " to try to step back from the relevance and violence and starkness of the film addresses.
Sure it’s a film about a violent act. Sure the family and the social complexities are very very well addressed.
But for me, it’s a film about compassion.
I kill you to liberate you,
I make love with you to help you realise yourself.
I feel this is one of the most true and relevant films I have ever made and in the making, the team found that relevance, found that mirror on ourselves that all great art has to be.
In my small space, I found the actors ... in our give and take, we learned to go there together.
As I have said many times, without the actors trust in what they are doing and why they dare...without the simplicity of our engagement, there is absolutely no way a film can be as focused and relevant and shocking and touching .... even as this story was about a “chopping people” event.
That trust is the base for process. Sure there is a script and there are locations and there is a bit of " content " acting to fill in the gaps .... but wait .... the moment Chun Xia took off her bra, I felt so much trust and such intent and the focus of Bai Zhi in the court….is not a performance: it’s this actor embracing this man psyche and his responsibilities.
When you go to these spaces with people of similar intent, I realise why it matters: its not just a film, it’s a wonderful life that must be shared.
