Program Note
[Johnnie Got His Gun!] explores the cinematic world of Johnnie To, who opened up a new chapter in Hong Kong urban action. His thematic consciousness, style, and production processes are introduced through his own experiences and his close associates. The film also includes explanations of influential experiences and movies, giving us a comprehensive overview of To’s his cinematic world. However, the appeal of [Johnnie Got His Gun!] does not stop at merely informing. Like the movies of Johnnie To, the camera floats in the spaces of a filmmaker who loves Hong Kong. It follows places where his eyes have remained and revisits spaces where his movies have been made. With the dazzle of the silver screen gone, the spaces are revived as those of cinematic inspirations through the process of memory. In a way, this film, which excludes details of his personal life, perhaps most appropriately expresses Johnnie To, who projected all his personal experiences, memories and Hong Kong onto the screen.
