American Grandson (DVD) (Joy Sales Version) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All

Internationally acclaimed director Ann Hui helms My American Grandson, an intimate and sensitive drama about the clash of two generations and cultures. Wu Ma is Ku, a retired musician whose life is unexciting but inherently satisfying. But Ku's world is about to be torn apart by the arrival of his grandson (Huang Kun Hsuan), an English-speaking, skateboard-sporting, gum-chewing kid who simply does not understand the differences between his grandfather and him. Immediately, the two get off on the wrong foot, and Ku soon realizes that his grandson has neither the patience nor the inclination to grow accustomed to his new home. Can an accord ever be reached between these innately different, yet blood-related individuals? Ann Hui brings her keen eye for detail and character to My American Grandson, and emerges with a touching exploration of different people who just happen to be family. Co-starring Carina Lau, My American Grandson is another fine effort from acclaimed director Ann Hui.

顧老是六十多歲的退休音樂老師。他兒子與媳婦在美國留學，但因要到德國作短期研究，把兒子暫托給爺爺照顧。可是兩爺孫生活文化有很大衝突，孫兒甚至像個外國人。顧老心痛的同時，孫兒卻離家出走。但短暫的「出走」令孫兒學懂了不少。當孫兒被父母接回去時，他卻不捨得顧老，但顧老則表現豁達，好像早有寂寞的心理準備。 雖然知道他的兒子、媳婦及孫兒不在身邊，但他明白他們仍是關心自己的。何況，日子雖寂寞，至少上海還是上海。

Ku is a retired musician. He lives a dull but routine life. Ku's son and daughter-in-law are studying in the United States. For a short term research in East Germany, they send their son to live with his grandpa. It is now the proudest moment of Ku. Unexpectedly, he could not satisfy the grandchild's "American standard". He even criticizes the "great fatherland" like a foreigner does. Not beyond Ku's anticipation, his grandson escapes, leaving Ku in deep remorse. After all, the grandson back home. He seems learnt something from the abscond. As Ku's grandson is called back to the United States, Ku realizes only his grandson doesn't want to depart with. Ku generously accepts the fate. Anyway, he won't feel lonely as Shanghai is still Shanghai.
