  其實應該叫「送個女去移民途中」

  電影主題本身唔錯，救護員嘅工作同辛酸 ＋ 移民 ＋ 生離死別 ＋ 官僚主義，其實應該幾有發揮，電影上半部亦交代咗唔少劇情為各個主題鋪路，以為下半部可以好好喺依幾方面繼續伸延，可惜到最後都係 explore 得唔夠同交代得非常零散。

  剪接出奇地混亂，最突兀嘅莫過於點解喺坪洲最後一日講講吓，要飛去夜晚迪卡儂加場情侶嗌交戲，然後又飛返去日頭嘅坪洲？

  救人嘅時候配上緊張同煽情嘅配樂係合理嘅，但係點解平時日常生活嘅片段甚至係空鏡，都要配啲咁煽情嘅音樂呢？多咗。

  劇情都有幾個解釋唔到嘅地方。例如既然游學修個角色咁討厭古天樂咁樣對個女，究竟到最後係因乜嘢事令到佢重拾返對古天樂嘅尊重呢，純粹因為佢放假都走過來災難現場幫手救人？可能本身有交代但剪走咗。

  拆開咁睇，某啲位攝影值得讚，對白同各個演員嘅表現不過不失，但整體劇本同剪接令人失望。

  用意係好嘅，但拍出嚟嘅效果就「唔好喇」🫣

  未睇之前，其實都已經唔太鍾意套戲名，覺得怪怪的，唔太知想點咁，英文譯名都唔get關咩事，而poster設計就更加唔掂，黃配紅咁好似麥當勞個logo😅，而且一啲都唔吸引，應該係我見過最唔好睇嘅poster之一😓

  入返正題，成套戲俾我整體嘅感覺就好似睇緊tvb啲劇咁，對白生梗，太過說理，咩都畫公仔畫出腸咁，想表達嘅嘢就講晒出嚟，好似每一啖都要餵觀眾食，唔餵唔識自己食咁，完全冇空間俾觀眾自己去思考同填補，而我唔鍾意下下都要俾人餵，所以我睇到好唔耐煩，要扭扭擰擰🤦🏻‍♂️

  劇情同故事方面，就相應地cliche到出汁，套路相當老套，唔洗睇都已經大概predict到劇情嘅發展，亦都因為咁，套電影都太過melodramatic同催淚，但我完全俾佢感動唔到，因為感情一啲都唔細膩，好粗糙，feel到好想格梗令到件事好感人，但真係唔work。

  人物設定就好似倒模咁，尤其古天樂嘅角色，死咗老婆跟住要自己帶住個女，但因為熱愛工作同好有使命感所以冇乜時間陪個女，個女就覺得佢唔愛佢等等，真係好basic好悶，已經唔知睇過幾多套戲都係有同樣嘅角色設定，一啲新意都冇😪

  其次嘅係個畫面好flat，攞嘅鏡頭都好一般，只可以話叫做合格咁，冇咩問題但就冇嘢好睇。配樂就比劇情更加dram，所以聽落去好intrusive，啲情節根本都carry唔到，搞到好礙耳，而且唔知係文化中心嘅劇院音響太勁定點，啲bass勁過龍，聽到有啲頭痛😵‍💫

  總括嚟講，可以話完全冇驚喜，就只係電影一套，睇完第二日就會唔記得。

  p.s. 啲笑位其實有啲牽強同尷尬囉😬

  阿芝就算你初衷原意有幾好
  都唔好掛羊頭賣狗肉到咁既樣呀
  明明係講救護員點解個故事有七成篇幅係講移民？？
  兩樣又扣唔埋

  寫劇本之前可唔可以分清主客先
  既然個主題係講救護員就麻煩寫先好依條骨幹
  先去develop你想表達既隱喻
  而家樣樣都講到一忽忽咁

  完全唔明點解d音效要咁重bass
  最後重頭戲場巴士意外緊張度弱過頭兩單意外係咩事
  ending段珍重MV又同個故仔有咩關係呢

  成套戲唯一值得表揚應該就係流星既攝影

  1//流星嘅攝影應記一功！

  2//雖然電影主要係圍繞救護員的日常啫！但唔等於故仔講得咁凌碎架喎！

  3//與此同時提到移民問題，但都表達得唔拖唔水搵唔到重心！另外亦都有講到救護員唔係「專才」，我以為會有更深入嘅探討，可惜無以為繼！

  4//確實獨立拆開一小節一小節睇，成部戲總會出現有趣地方，個別情節亦都真心好笑，但實在雜亂無章唔成一部戲囉！！！

  5//電影出現好幾個衝突位，奈何對白同氣氛營造完全做唔到嗰份張力，甚至校園欺凌嗰部份直頭覺得夾硬製做衝突！

  6//臨尾重頭戲未免太無緊張氣氛喇嘛！頭兩段救人情節仲好睇得多喎！

  7//古生再次飾演細路女嘅爸爸角色，基於戲份比重關係，今次係比起《明日戰記》更能夠見到有層次同細膩嘅演出；修哥一貫如往保持上佳水準；Angela所演嘅表妹有爆點但略嫌唔夠自然，不過基於呢套早於《窄路微塵》同《過時．過節》之前拍攝，有如此水準其實都好合理？潘sir做呢類助攻攪笑角色依舊無得頂！

  1. always thought this film's called 拒絕送院💀
  2. Ok I get it 你哋真係好撚鍾意香港 but that cheesy ass ending montage just came off as boringly manipulative and didn’t do it for me

  Seen at New York Asian Film Fest 2023 with LOUIS KOO IN PERSON there to accept a lifetime achievement award.

  During his speech he said he stood in solidarity with the strikes going on right now and very anti-AI, it was a lovely speech.

  This movie is pretty underwhelming and didn't do much for me, but the event was nice.

  Cheuk Wan-chi is an accomplished director, screenwriter, and stand-up comedian in Hong Kong. She co-wrote Sylvia Chang’s excellent 2004 film 20 30 40 and Pang Ho-cheung’s not-as-good 2007 one Exodus. As an actress, she starred as one of the doomed minibus passengers in Fruit Chan’s apocalyptic 2014 masterpiece The Midnight After. That same year, she also wrote and directed the delightful real estate comedy Temporary Family, with Sammi Cheng, Nick Cheung, and the once-ubiquitous Angelababy. She’s finally followed that up with Vital Signs, her first feature in nine years. But it seems the last decade of events in Hong Kong has sobered Cheuk up. Vital Sign shows none of the comic flair of her earlier work, and is, in fact,…

  #BJIFF2023 救护车承载着生与死，覆盖着仇恨与别离，香港的种种不快乐与压抑随着救护车的移动，成为构成香港的血管。来香港追梦的外地人抱着伤痕而归，救到许多人的医护工作者却救不回最爱的人，矛盾与疼痛，让他对女儿的爱化为头上虚无缥缈的一朵云。移民或许也是好的选择，有人走，有人留，香港依旧在那里，成为某些人心中的主角，既然无法改变现状，那便享乐其中，做回心中的自己。有时不用追求太多，握着喜欢的人的手，过于羞涩而不敢望向她，只能盯着窗外的街景缓解紧张，便已拥有足够生活的勇气。导演对生活细节十分关注，“雞鎚很可憐，醬也很可憐”，“好似Miffy咁叉埋嘴”，“十二盞燈，九盞綠燈”⋯⋯我发现我更爱香港了。
