THE LAST DANCE 破．地獄 (2024) Spoiler Free Review - At UK & Irish Cinema's!

[@cac1504]

The strong performances from Wong and Hui anchor the story, their generational conflict serving as a microcosm of Hong Kong’s struggle between tradition and modernity. This heartfelt exploration of death traditions manages to feel more alive than most films about the living. (Review by The Straits Times, Singapore)

Hello, greetings from HK…. I’ve been expecting some foreign YTer reviews about this HK latest film The Last Dance 「破。地獄」for quite a while to see what’s their reactions from this movie. Which because this is totally the very authentic HK local story (even ONE serious taboo’s one that brought up to the big screen to explain the audiences in as well as outside of HK what’s inside the story between death and mortal beings As we HK locals, we are most talking topic in between and on going is all about this movie, because Dayo Wong 黃子華 has god made this highest record for this year with this film. And of course most of us during the movie play with tons of tears sheds till the end of movie (it because all the plots and scenes are the true story from reality) and none of complaints about it. And thanks again for sharing this reviews to this film…. Thank you! 🙏🏻 Alice, HONG KONG

[@HongKongandBeyond]

@alicewong5619 thank you Alice! I'll share a secret with you, when Paul Chun says what he does near the end, I shed a few tears too. I know our understanding will not be as good as the local audience. But, we very much loved this movie also 💖

[@alicewong5619]

@@HongKongandBeyond yes, that part which Paul “complains” in front of the ceremony and whispered why he left him ( Paul) out so early and then offered the fave tea drink to say goodbye😢 And the most serious tear bomb was last section of the brother and sister together presence the “ last dance “ tribute to his father officially.

Thx for sharing

Thank you for watching 💖

[@gracekay4kids]

This film is very unique as this ritual has been a long standing culture in Hong Kong, but banned in China. Many mainlanders travel to HK especially to watch it so they can understand more about a culture that has been banned for many years in their part of the world

[@HongKongandBeyond]

@@gracekay4kids I hope many people get to see and enjoy this wonderful movie. It deserves to be seen. Thank you for watching 💖

[@tinlunlau1]

This movie isn't banned in China and actually started to be screened in cinemas this week with minimal cuts.

[@drama2u]

Your bland review of this film didn’t help much, but i’m still going to watch it due to the great cast. Their reputation has already earned their audience. Michael and Dayo are hong Kong legends.

[@HongKongandBeyond]

@drama2u well we are only fans, and this is not a profession for us. Despite your disappointment in our efforts, we thank you for watching. It does make us extremely happy that you have made the decision to watch this. It is a wonderful film, which is why we awarded it with our top marks. And you are absolutely correct, Michael and Dayo are indeed legends! 💖

[@HongKongandBeyond]

@ATouchOfFilm1 thank you, Hus. We might not appeal to everyone, which is totally fine, but we do indeed love the movies 💖💖💖
