Hong Kong under the bow

The screenwriter's character is very good. As a Chinese American, Ruby returned to Asia again for work reasons, a place that her grandfather's generation desperately wanted to leave but missed. She examines Hong Kong as an unfamiliar returnee, and bows to reflect. The Hong Kong presented at this time is more objective than the Hong Kong people in "Lushan". For example, Lan Kwai Fong, singing, fortune-telling, piracy, prosperous and noisy, are presented one by one. The storyline does not drag on, and two nights tell a relationship. As for whether this relationship is reasonable, there is no comment. But the director is on the side of love, and the ending seems ambiguous, but it is self-evident.

Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong quotes
-
Ruby: I've always been intrigued with expats.
Josh: Yeah?
Ruby: Yeah. I mean, they always gave the impression that living abroad is so glamorous. But when my grandparents immigrated to the States from Hong Kong, their journey is anything but glamorous.
Josh: You see that?
Ruby: Yeah?
Josh: That's my office right there.
Ruby: It almost makes it worth being a banker.
Josh: All those lights on in the offices. It's 11:00 in a Friday night. Those are all people working. It isn't as glamorous as it looks.
Ruby: Guess not.

Josh: There's something very wrong with your city when the only good thing you have going for it is the weather.
