I came home from my first visit to China really excited about Hong Kong and Chinese cinema. I brought a grip of VCDs and DVDs back, thinking that Mama Lai would enjoy them since we grew up watching Chinese serials. I popped in Wong Kar-Wai "Chungking's Express" and during the movie Mama Lai begged for me to turn it off.
"He [Tony Leung] is talking to a bar of soap. This is nonsense."
I pouted and said that this is one of my favorite movies. And I thought it was sweet and romantic. Mama Lai gave me a "look" and said:
"God made us love our children so much that we would never see any harm come to them. But I think if I was not your mother we could never be friends."
