Been a while since I catch up on flicks,instead I decided to check this out since I have the time.Probably one of the Highest Grossing Taiwanese Film in Taiwan Box Office.
About The Film
Taiwanese performer Alan Kuo plays A-tai, a young man who dreams about
becoming a rocker in the US. He quits school in Taipei and returns to
his Taichung hometown before following his heart's desire. A-tai has
never been on good terms with his father, Uncle Da (Chen Po-cheng,
better known as A-hsi), who runs a dintao troupe. The father and son
never make an effort to understand one another, and quarrel each time
they meet. But Uncle Da has other things to worry about. While his
company struggles to make ends meet, long-standing rival Wu Cheng (Liao
Chun) and his troupe are successful and popular. Irked by Wu's
arrogance, A-tai decides to take the troupe's demoralized members on a
countrywide walk in search of inspiration to revamp the traditional folk
art form.
My Take
Having a seasoned TV director to direct a movie may look simpler than it is, but it takes time to master and hone the skills.
Fung Kai, whom we have seen his past television works like Mr. Fighting(2005),La robe de mariée des cieux(2004) has made a successful debut in films, presenting his milestone work.

This film tells a story about this traditional folk art troupe in search of inspiration to revamp its form, like walk around Taiwan which hit the Taiwan headlines in 2005-2006, while in search to being a troupe with a unique touch to folk art in Taiwan.
The film has touched me towards the end with the unity between the 2 troupes coming together as one to put up a good show with memorable footages and close-up shots of the parents of the character.
I was nearly in tears while watching the ending.
This is the trailer to the film,and I swear it is probably one of the most inspirational yet a great film to catch this holiday for teens on passion.
My Rating: 4/5 Stars
"Din Tao: The Leader of Parade" is Now showing into is (Potentially) Final Week. Remember to catch it!
Rated PG13 for Some Coarse Language.
