A Way We Go

For the past forty years, Ah Long has headed up a traditional Chinese musical troupe. His oldest son, Ah Hui, is an aimless slacker with no plans for the future. His younger son, Ah Ming, is musically talented but physically handicapped and so has developed an eccentric and closed personality, raising pigeons as a way to escape social interaction. One day, Ah Hui and Ah Gou find out that the two doors of their local temple, with door gods painted, are in fact antiques of great value. They steal the doors and sell them to a dealer in stolen artifacts. Excited with the payment they receive, they start looking for other opportunities to steal more goods. However, the next time Ah Gou visits the dealer, he discovers him lying on the floor. Just as Gou is picking up the gun that he has found next to the body, the police arrive. In a panic, he takes the gun with him and runs away. Ah Long has won round-trip tickets to New York City. He and his wife, along with a few other friends, travel in small tour group to Manhattan. When they are all having a meal in a restaurant, they discover the stolen doors being used as decoration. They negotiate with the owner and successfully buy the doors back. Meanwhile, Ah Gou and Ah Hui are desperately fleeing, finally hiding in Ah Ming's pigeon coop. Ultimately, to the sound of Ah long and the other tour group members' cheerful singing under the bright lights of New York City, there is a final shootout between the police, Ah Gou, and Ah Hui on the rooftop in Taipei.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
