What keeps us going when the economy is struggling, the future feels uncertain and everything we’ve built appears ready to disappear? In Night King (夜王), the staff of Hong Kong’s last surviving nightclub in East Tsim Sha Tsui refuse to let their world vanish without a fight. Funny, stylish and full of underdog spirit, the film became only the fourth Hong Kong production ever to earn more than HK$100 million, which says a lot in these trying times.
Join Leon, a psychologist and cinephile, to watch selected scenes and explore why people respond to hardship so differently. When should we persevere, adapt or finally walk away? Can humour, friendship and a shared sense of purpose help us survive an economic crisis—and what makes hope realistic rather than naïve? Expect memorable scenes, psychological insight and a smart, lively conversation about refusing to give up when the odds are against us. You don’t need to have seen the film beforehand.
Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs and watch scenes from a film that's bold, funny, and incredibly human. And, of course, let's have a deep and fun discussion about our mutual journey!
当经济不景气、未来看不清、我们辛苦搭起来的一切好像随时都要没了的时候,是什么让我们还能继续往前走?在《夜王》里,香港尖沙咀东部最后还在撑的夜总会,一群员工就是不肯眼睁睁看着自己的世界消失。这部电影又好笑又有型,满是那种小人物不服输的劲儿,成了香港影史上第四部票房破亿的港片,在这种时候,这个成绩真的很能说明问题。
跟着 Leon 一起看片段、聊心理。他是心理学家,也是个影迷。我们会聊聊为什么面对困难,每个人的反应差那么多。什么时候该坚持,什么时候该调整,什么时候该干脆走人?幽默、友情和共同的目标感,能不能帮我们熬过一场经济危机?又是什么让希望变得现实,而不是单纯的自我安慰?会有很多让人记得住的片段,也会有一些心理学视角,还有一场聪明又热闹的讨论,聊的就是在形势不站在我们这边的时候,为什么还是有人不认输。没看过这部电影也完全没问题。
大家一起窝在舒服的椅子里,跟好朋友一起看看这部又大胆、又好笑、又特别有人味儿的电影片段。当然,也少不了围绕我们共同经历的那些事儿,来一场深入又好玩的聊天!
