Taiwan Film Screening: God Man Dog

God Man Dog is a 2008 Taiwanese road movie directed by director Singing Chen, starring Jack Kao, Tarcy Su, Chang Han and Jonathan Chang. It depicts the occasionally intertwining lives of three groups of characters. They belong to three distinct social classes, a middle-class couple, an indigenous family, and a handicapped man, who rescues discarded divine statuettes of all sorts. The film portrays how they experience varying trials and pains due to the material or spiritual deficiencies caused by consumerism, and develop drastically different attitudes towards life, which in a way reflects Singing Chen’s observations and thoughts on contemporary Taiwan.
