Program Note
Tang Monk Tripitaka and his three disciples ? Monkey king, Pig monk, and Sand monk are attacked by Root of All Evils and his disciples are captured. With a help of Monkey king, Tripitaka escapes with the Golden Pole, literally the most versatile weapon in the whole universe. He meets a young lizard imp, Meiyan who falls in love with him at first sight. Together, they go on their long journey to save the disciples. But with monsters, strange beings and creatures of unknown origins to overcome, their journey is not a picnic. A Chinese Tall Story reminds me of the childish and cheesy films that I used to watch when I was a little. But for me, those films were nothing but FUN. And A Chinese Tall Story brings me back to those fun days, and it will for any adults who have memories of childhood. Would it be too odd, if A Chinese Tall Story is defined as a childish film for adult? The spectacular art in the film is a bonus for the audience.
