Hong Kong filmmakers have begun ditching the trademark kungfu and gangster genres in favor of social realism in recent years. Peter Chan's last film Dearest (2014) has become a box office hit on Chinese mainland. It's a fictionalized take on the real life issue of child abductions.
近些年香港电影制作商已经开始摆脱功夫和黑帮体裁的电影,并开始倾向于社会现实类题材的影片。陈可辛的上一部电影,《亲爱的》在中国内陆票房大卖。这是一部基于现实生活中,真实的儿童诱拐事件而拍摄的电影。
