Résumé
If I pitch you a story about a working man juggling his time to provide for his family, you would not question much about the storyline; but if I told you that this busy man put his life on hold to take care of his elderly sick servant, you would probably think that this is a joke. Like Pedro Almodovar, who turns the totally unthinkable fiction of The Skin I Lived In into a wonderful cinematic experience, veteran Hong Kong director Ann Hui rediscovers humanity in this extraordinary true story of writer Roger Lee and his servant, Tao, in A Simple Life, showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival 2011. Ann Hui is a veteran filmmaker whose directorial career kick-started the Hong Kong New Wave movement in 1979 with her debut feature, The Secret, starring Sylvia Chang. Since then, she has made close to thirty films covering various subjects and genres, from martial arts to social commentaries. Her films have garnered numerous international awards and her latest work, A Simple Life, was in competition at the Venice Film Festival where the leading lady, Deanie lp, who played Tao, won the best actress award. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Hul worked in TV, shooting social dramas as well as documentaries, before she moved on to the big screen. Her vision on the social issues that she was depicting on screen has always been critical, analytic but non-intrusive. This objective style carries over to her narrative features as she continues to observe her subjects at a comfortable distance, just close enough to decipher the situation without being invasive as the narrative unfolds. The camera in A Simple Life documents the daily living of our protagonist, Tao, an orphan who, since she was a teenager, has worked as a domestic helper for the same family for four generations. Roger (played by Hong Kong heartthrob Andy Lau), is the only member of the family who is still in Hong Kong; the rest of the family members have emigrated abroad. The two have developed a special bond, more like god-mother/god-son, than a master-servant relationship. Even though Tao does all the chores around the apartment, Roger never orders her around. When he requests her to cook a dish that she considers unhealthy for his heart condition, she refuses and expresses her concern like a mother, and Roger, unlike a master, is not enraged. She eventually gives in, just like a soft-hearted mom. This transcendent bond from a master-servant to a mother-child relationship was credible in 1960s Hong Kong society when live-in maids who served their masters' household loyally were treated as a member of the family. Big families with lots of kids were considered by the Chinese to be a prosperous sign at the time, but the exhausted mothers could never keep up without maids. These maids never married, gave up the chance of raising their own families, and adopted their masters' families. They cared for and brought up their masters' kids like their own. In return, respectable masters would ensure these maids could retire with dignity when they could no longer serve. The whole relationship was entirely built upon trust, respect and love. If they didn't get along, either party could choose to end the employment at any time; the master would then look for another helper while the maid would look for another family. Times have changed; maid service in Hong Kong has moved from an un-written long term contract to a written document with an expiry date. Migrant caregivers have taken over the job and they only see themselves as baby-sitters. They will leave their masters' household once their contract expires in a few years, and fly back to their country of origin and their own families. Most of them do love and care for the kids in the house but not in the same way as Tao loved Roger. Gone are the days when a maid like Tao could see her baby master grow from new born to adulthood and mature into middle or old age, one generation after another. …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
