The show is about Expats, not Hong Kongers. I watched ep 1 and 2. The show starts true to the theme focusing on the expat family. Nicole spoke Cantonese when he went out shopping at local vendors. I agree that I had higher expectations to the show before I watched it. Have to see how the story progress.
Poorly casted with a nearly 60 year Nicole Kidman with children under the ages of 10. Not even sure how that happened.
But she got a asian love interest... which almost never happens
They had some local HK tv actors show up that I recognized but their characters are pretty insignificant.
No one complains about NYC or Chicago being portrayed negatively. So why complain about portraying negatively HK. Every city has its negative side, it's a city with 7.6 million people. There's going to be bad stuff. Also, there are plenty of HK made movies about HK that show a negative side. Complainers are just ignorant. Lastly, this type of complaining only showed up after the handover of HK to China who are overly sensitive about negative stories.
I think the general issue is that is is an American production centered around HK and shows a negative side of the city. This is like if China made a show about some international Chinese students who go to NYC and they just get robbed every episode. I personally can see why it is negative but I think the negativity is a little overblown.
@@Stephen-we6do It doesn't matter if the production was from the US, Chinese or HK. HK will have both positive and negative stories. If people are complaining because it from a US production, then they are small minded people defaulting to some simplistic patriotic basis for their critique.
What if China's movie makers make every stories about USA being a nation of rapists?
I think it’s difficult to resonate with any type of audience, it’s like a New Zealand (kiwi) writer/director making a series about Canadian and Malaysian expat couple in Northern Territory of Australia, where occasionally they interact with aboriginal people, and their son got kidnapped. Would Aussies or others be interested in this plot. It feels so random, that’s all.
0:17 everything okay there Andrew?🤔
them edibles were kickin in
@@emantclphie😂😂😂😂
see i get why ppl are mad cos it feels like some are left out but at the same time the show is about expats, meaning inherently a lot of the shows characters will be foreigners to hong kong
The studio must have been complicit in getting Kidman a pass on quarantine. It's unlikely that she did all that without their knowledge.
I think they should go eat some Cantonese food, the wonton noodles. Yummy. The little bowls of wonton noodles is what they have in HK. They have these roasted water chestnuts that are delicious to snack on in HK too!!! 😊
then it shd be on the food and travel channel
That's both Guangdong food as well. Cantonese food is also popular across China.
I don’t even like this movie :/
It just exposes and promotes disconnection
Just ordered the book from the library.
I didn't know it was even a thing, it's not being advertised at all on my video page.
When I think Hong Kong I think Nikole Kidman.
As soon as you Korean you had me. Goona go watch now 😅
Expats in hk is now a historical artifact😢. No kid walks around in women street 😅. Nicole was allowed "quarantine" exemption, not vaccine exemption. Good and fair review
How can we prevent Cantonese dialect from disappearing?
Have more babies
Cantonese school on the weekends and speak it at home.
by speaking it.
fund canto media, support canto culture,
Bringing back those good old Hong Kong movies playing with both Chinese characters and English subtitles .
It's interesting that people are getting up in arms about a work of fiction and representation in media from a Western lens because a friend I knew cited that as an issue while living abroad as a Black person in Asia. So many stereotypes brought on due to whatever media depictions someone had been exposed to prior.
but this show is not aired in hk...
As an Asian, Hong Kong is a safe place compared to North Asia
Its all Expats. I hope people are not realizing the Filipino helpers are also Expats. They covered the whole spectrum not only the high income earners but also the low income earners.
Oh shiit, just watched the trailer. I think it is similar to the movie "Man on fire".
How about the show's Pinoy baiting especially OFWs in HK?
I love stuff that's controversial got watch now
Hiiii Fung Bros TV. I haven't watched it, I like Nicole Kidman.
She's my crush
Watching episode 1 and they are speak Cantonese.
Wut nicole kidman in this wowow
What is the problem .. there’s nothing that glorifies the hk movement
Cantonese isn’t dying. She’s just making an excuse why she can’t represent HK. She doesn’t. I’m offended by the director but not the show itself.
How is Cantonese disappearing when it is one of the most spoken language in the world (dialect) Also, i dont see people moaning about English was "forcing down your throat" when the English govern HK.
The first 3 episodes arent giving me much hope for this series...very underwelming to be completely honest. The acting is meh and the characters just arent interesting 🤷😑
Especially the girl playing Mercy. Has the same look all the time and highly annoying character. And how many times does Nicole Kidman need to play the same tortured soul???
people are too easily offended. there’s nothing bad about HK or it’s people.
People who get pressed about tv shows have no real problems to worry about.
This show is already censored in China, lol. Also, phasing out Cantonese is a deliberate policy of the CCP. The funny thing is that in recent years, several movies and shows have been made in China about how dangerous Southeast Asia is. People even speculate that those movies have negatively impacted Southeast Asia's tourism business. Hong Kong's tourism industry is not doing well because everything unique to Hong Kong is gone. It is also no longer a safe place from China's influence, and many of their best people have also left.
Umm you do know that HK tourism were mainly mainlanders, nowadays mainlanders are no longer interested going there because of the negative attitudes instead HKers are going to Shenzhen.
@@ftu2021 LOL, people in Hong Kong has a negative attitude towards mainlanders for decades. And that has not stopped mainlanders from coming for decades. Mainlanders even called Hong Kong the ruin of the old international financial center these days. They felt it was no different from just a regular city in the mainland but with more attitudes and foreigners. Besides, it's even much easier to go to Singapore and Thailand for mainlanders than to go to Hong Kong. This is no accident.
this is the community note to Lulu Wang's tweet: "Cantonese is not a dying a language. It is a top-20 most spoken language in the world by population, has 86 million speakers, and is classified as institutional, the highest classification for language stability. It has more speakers than Vietnamese, Italian, or Korean."
How is it exactly dying? Do you even speak cantonese bro? If I curse you out in Cantonese would you even know it? Say Sohai.
@@holycow343 sure. most of the 86 million speakers are PRCs in Guangdong
@@jjsamuelgunn1136 China, Singapore , Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Chinatowns in all Western countries cantonese is spoken there. Do you even speak canto yourself soh lo?
huh? I've been in HK almost 15 years now and have never seen a kid on a leash, LOL
right that would be completely inhumane.
I have seen that on mainland quite often though 😂
Hong Kong used to be the Hollywood of the East. However, since China took over, it’s now moved to South Korea.
HK used to be a lawless city full of corruption like Los Angeles
She said Cantonese dying IN HONG KONG. I know there's plenty of Canto speakers in the world, but she's talking about the CCP slowly phasing out Canto and replacing it with Mandarin.
That's not even remotely true. How is it disappearing? It is one of the most spoken languages (dialect) in the world 😂 and most are in China itself 😂
@@phil488pista9 which part of "in Hong Kong" did you not understand?
Couldn’t watch this ExPats at all in HK, so I started watching the new Mr & Mrs Smith series instead 😅
I could have worked on set as part of their Covid team.
Relax. It's fiction. If you have a problem with how real it feels, take it up with the book author and screen writer. The actors are just playing parts. It's not real.
Hong Kong cinema, before China took over, made some of the best crime movies with Andy Lau in it.
not gonna watch that garbage
Cantonese is a dying a language, thanks to the CCP.
How is it disappearing? It is one of the most spoken languages (dialect) in the world 😂
Imagine mandarin speakers taking over your island and liberalizing your Cantonese language and culture
Nah… Guangdong province speaks Cantonese, they are like the previous ancestors of the Hong Kong yan, and has a very similar culture. From dim sum to egg tart.
@@nuttyfrootie8550 yeah what’s left of it … canton is mandarin speaking. It’s GongDong, yet you call it guangdong that’s mandarin
@@emantclphie Yeh, China is taking over. My childhood was filled with 90’s gongdong vwa entertainment. Now I shamelessly say that my Cantonese is far worse than my mandarin even tho my family don’t speak a single putonghua. But hey, there’s nothing we can do about it, life changes and sometimes some might benefit from it and some others will not.
@@emantclphie it's actually guangdong and properly pronounced as gwong-dung. "gong"dong is lazy pronunciation just like how plenty of people say "lei" instead of the proper "nei" when referring to you
@@xcelpast hey let me take you to Chinese school. GongDong is in Cantonese. Guangdong is in mandarin. Go touch up on you pinyin and sounds
So sad to see the Hong Kong authorities spineless against the CCP, unlike the Taiwanese.
