With stars, beauties, sparkling jewelry and the red carpet treatment, the Annual Golden Horse Awards ceremony was held in Taipei last Saturday! The 46th Golden Horse Film Awards is regarded as the “Chinese Oscars.” Taiwanese real-life Drama “No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti”《不能沒有你bù néng méiyǒu nǐ》got four awards and was the BIG WINNER!!
The Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards is similar to the Academy Awards. It is held annually in Taiwan since 1962. The Golden Horse Film Festival displays the nominated films for the awards, after the month-long film festival comes to an end, the award ceremony is held. The awards contested by films submitted from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other continents. It is considered the most prestigious awards for Chinese-language films.
The festival has many sections, and my favorite part is the “Rock n’ Roll Apocalypse.” This part features on 7 documentaries that detail the history and legendary stories from punk bands to rock bands, and looks back at golden era of Taiwanese music. This part is definitely for those who love music just like me.
Now let’s talk about the award-winning film “No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti.” The name of the film describes “I cannot live without you” in English. It is a touching true story based on a real incident in Taiwan in 2004.
It’s about a single, uneducated father, abandoned by his child’s mother. He strives to retain guardianship of his daughter. However, he cannot register his child as part of his household, because he and his child’s mother were not married.
This black and white film features the underprivileged in Taiwanese society, reveals the unchangeable system most people live with, which is never perfect. That is why the father in the film strives for changes in the system.
For viewers in Asia, they may see a kind of familiarity in the film, because it looks like the system they live with. For western viewers, the movie provides an insight into Chinese culture and society to them.
