Ray is after all a ray of hope for the Hong Kong Cinema and LGBTQ community!!

[@SrinivasRao-ue2zi]

that part about “all in one go” and “If I am going to be a disappointment” response was spot on, so funny 🤣

[@Sayonlaskar4545]

I am loving the diversity on this podcast. From art history to cinema, the conversations are always very engaging..

[@yt_arsh_gaming]

So wonderful to see Ray on this podcast. I have been a huge fan of his work

[@devilgaming1559]

I think that was a wonderful decision by Ray to make the family members sympathetic. It makes sense when he explains that people could simply say, “well, thats not me”.

[@pramodkumarsingh2353]

Wonderful message by Ray when he says you do what you are good at instead of recreating what others are doing

[@lakhwinderrajput74]

love how Pearl can see through things. For example when talking about censorship, she mentions it seems censorship is only about politics. Gets you thinking. They wouldn’t ban an LGBTQ film, but they would ban other trivial things

[@NihalMansoori-og9vq]

I was touched to hear the stories about those partners being mistreated by surviving family members

[@mdnasirahmad7664]

Oh wow! Ray Yeung. I have been meaning to learn more about him ever since I watched the Twilight’s Kiss on Netflix

[@Gkgaming792]

Interesting analogy about Hong Kong’s monopoly on Asian cinema. Thinking about it, Korean and other Asian countries were very nascent at the time. But I also wonder how it went downhill, considering they were the industry pioneers in Asia

[@RajaBasumatary-zs6yp]

I have to agree with Pearl here - watch Twilight’s Kiss! It is an amazing movie.

[@user-wz9kp6wv1s]

Thanks Ray for such a beautiful film

[@ankushkapoor763]

Only a dedicated filmmaker would go through such lengths to make a film

[@RajeshKumar-xh1vn]

So sad to learn that the partner loses everything. Isn’t it enough that they have lost a person they love, and now they are forced into uncertainty?

[@user-py2ry1xj8r]

Funny how the French translated it to Springtime in Hong Kong lol

[@ASHISHKUMAR-jx1by]

the horrific things that some people have had to face

[@rafathbegum1887]

When’s the next Hong Kong Gay and Lesbian Film Festival?
