In Our Time (1982) Film Review
| ← Death by Design (2016) Film Review | Dead in the Woods Reflection → |
In Our Time (1982) is a movie divided into four omnibus parts. Different people direct these parts and deliver four different stories that depict such themes as loneliness, childhood, and problems of the adult age. This particular movie became the first to present the arrival of the New Taiwan Cinema.
Each short film describes one period from the 1950s to the 1980s and highlights the problems of the main characters from childhood to the adult age. The first story, “Little Dragonhead,” depicts a little boy whose parents neglect him. The boy’s only friend is a dinosaur toy. The situation improves when he meets the neighbor’s daughter and makes friends with her. However, the girl's parents are forced to go to another city, and the main character does not know that his friendship will end soon. The current episode depicts the meaning of loneliness.
The second story, “Expectations,” describes a teenage girl's life and feelings for a handsome boy who lives in the apartment next door. Her obsession forces her to abandon her school friends and imagine a relationship with the boy. However, her dreams collapse when she learns that her older sister has a romantic bond with him. This part depicts the dramatic consequences of the relationships. The third story, “Leapfrog,” tells about a student who wants to be a poet, although his father does not accept his choice. This film has a comic character and the inner monologs of ‘Fatty.’ The story is confusing, yet it still presents high-quality filmmaking. The fourth story is called “Say Your Name.” A young couple moves into a new apartment and experiences many comic situations. The movie shows that the adult age also has difficult problems to avoid.
In Our Time is a chronological movie that shows the problems of each period of human life. All four parts, which different directors filmed, are connected by one idea: every character shows the essential features of their age.
