A single act of kindness, involving three DVD players, plunged a father and son into a fate they could never reverse. Like a sinking ship, they desperately tried to slow their descent, but ultimately could not overcome the water rising past their noses and throats.
Director Statement
I have always used my works to express things that interest or attract me. However, what truly influences how I view this film are the questions I've asked at different stages of my life. Sometimes I found answers, sometimes I was left with even bigger questions, but throughout this process, I had time to contemplate these puzzles deeply. The movie “In the Same Boat” allowed me to thoroughly understand a landscape, environment, industry, and atmosphere that my life path had never touched before. But for me, a Chinese man approaching middle age with an increasing sense of responsibility, it illustrated what choices mean. So, this is not just a documentary about the Lin family, but it also records my own discomfort with identity transitions during this period.
