DPP Presidential Candidate Lai Ching-te’s Campaign Short Film: An Analysis and Controversy

2024-01-06 03:58 Lianhe Daily Black and White Collection DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te’s campaign headquarters yesterday launched the “…

Lai Xiaopei launched the campaign short film “On the Road”. The Democratic Progressive Party believed that it was very popular, and the number of viewers quickly exceeded the list. However, viewers are not equal to supporters. Some people also pointed out that the film plagiarized the Golden Harvest Award for Best Student Cartoon “On the Road”, with similar presentation techniques and dialogue. The director claimed that this was a road movie technique and also used an advanced LED virtual studio.

A propaganda video can make the DPP cheer, which shows how long it has been depressed in the election. Plagiarism aside, the biggest problem with this short film is that there are only two or three people driving in the whole situation, and there are no people at all. No matter on the road, in the mountains, at the seaside, or in the fishing grounds, there is no one around. President Tsai’s handover of power only sees car keys and no ordinary people, as if the president was not elected by the people.

The director said that he chose the presentation method of a road movie because Tsai Ing-wen loved driving when he was young. This makes sense, but Cai and Lai have been on bad terms for a long time, and their conversations always feel fake. The leader of the country is important because all the people are his passengers. But in this short film, not only are there no passengers in the car, but there is also no one outside the car. It is an empty world. Is it enough for a country to have a president? Or are they not used to the public intervening in their world?

After the video was released, it immediately attracted many netizens to post the Kuso version. For example, Peggy Chen appeared in the back seat and asked Tsai Ing-wen to switch to Ke Wenzhe. There is also a disaster version. After Tsai Ing-wen handed over the baton and got off the bus, Lai Qingde immediately drove into the ravine.

The crux is that while Cai and Lai enjoyed the pleasure of driving, the common people were left behind. Also “on the road”, people have to walk on their own.
