Show Time! Hail the Judge!

    This video is designed for exchanging social and cultural issues with international students in NCU. The story was adapted from a famous Hong Kong film called "Hail The Judge", which is acted by Stephen Chou.

    In the video, the main characters including the judge, Smart Bao and a complex relationship in three person, a couple, Seven Love and Hang Over and the one hit Hang Over, Always Powerful. Besides, there are some witnesses and a guard in the court. The whole characters except the judge are divided into two teams, and offer some clues to make the judgement progress.


    In addition to the video, our class also prepared some activities to interact with the international students. There are Chinese Couplet, Chinese Riddle, Bagua MIrror(八卦鏡), Books of Changes(易經), One Miss Call, Flower Language and Yama Nonsense. International students can use some images in video as clues or their culture and knowledge to answer the questions. The progression is interesting, because there are different answer from different culture and religion. After the video, we had almost an hour to discuss about the film. Students had a lot of discussion about some issues such as games, TV show, fortune telling, wine lady culture, food, society situation, religion and flower. All of these discussion are related to the content of video.



    There are some interesting points to be mentioned in the video. First, the whole environment was built by students in Second Life, and also created some decorations and cultural artefacts rather than buy from the shop of Second Life. Then, there are two characters dressed in phantom rather than the appearance of people or animals.
