由Paul Simon創作於1963年美國總統約翰甘迺迪（JFK）遭到暗殺的那個午後的The Sound Of Silence，在片中鮑比遇刺後悠悠然唱出；影片最後上字幕時配置的甘迺迪家族黑白相片錦集、佐以鮑比演講的錄音；走出戲院看見電影海報上一隻緊握美國國旗的拳頭、一個倒下的身軀和汨汨流出的鮮血…希望殞落的傷痛歷史，可否不再重演？

A Dark Eyes presentation of an Ocean Deep Films production.(International sales: Joint Entertainment Intl., Taipei.) Produced by Yeh Jufeng, Cho Li. Directed, written by Hung Hung.
Time and space provide no barrier, but there are some things love still can’t overcome in oddball Taiwanese sci-fi romancer “The Wall-Passer.” An occasional collaborator with Edward Yang, scribe-cum-helmer Hung Hung delivers a stylishly mounted low-budgeter whose rich visuals help create a fantasy world beyond pic’s resources. Mixed-up yarn initiates several narrative dead ends, but remains engaging to its conclusion. A must-see for Asian and fantasy fests, pic may garner a small, but loyal cult following on ancillary.
Story hurriedly begins as 17-year-old Tye (Chang Yungcheng) and his parents evacuate their home after an earthquake on planet G40 and move to Reality City. With his insurance salesman dad rarely speaking and his appliance-obsessed mom rarely shutting up, Tye is fanatical about the piano and takes to constantly tapping out rhythms. His constant tinkling on his computer keyboard as if it was a set of 88s leads to an overload on the Internet-dominated, totalitarian state in which he now lives.
While on a school field trip to a nuclear power plant, Tye discovers a radioactive rock whose powers enable the schoolboy to pass through walls.
As the school trip continues on to a nearby museum, Tye also meets alien deaf shopgirl NoNo (Lee Chiaying) who can speak to him thanks to the interpreting bionic earpiece she wears. The pair begin an angsty romance that is truncated by the reappearance of her French-speaking ex-lover.
Overwrought, NoNo disappears. With the aid of his glowing stone, Tye searches around the world for his missing love. While NoNo remains elusive, Tye ends up at the barren region with a young,
leather-clad, Lara Croft-type hottie (Lu Chiahsin) who also happens to be blind. Tye wants to play rescuing hero, but hottie makes revelatory and disconcerting claims that shift the power balance of their relationship.
Intriguing script gets tangled up in its own philosophical contortions, but finale still manages to score a poignant punch. Perfs are solid, and thesps manage to successfully persevere, offering convincing turns through some potentially silly scenarios.
Helming is well-considered and provides a platform for stimulating visuals that make good use of rear projection and other techniques.
Impressive lensing by Jake Pollock is largely dominated by a metallic cool blue/gray tinge, that creates a sophisticated look way beyond pic’s obviously meager budget. All other tech credits are impressive.

所幸影片的製作公司IDT Entertainment認為既然本片的精神是「在面對困境時不要輕言放棄」因此勢必將之完成，所以分別延請了兩位頂尖動畫與特效大師繼任導演，包括丹．聖皮埃爾（Dan St. Pierre，迪士尼和夢工廠動畫部畢業，曾參與製作【獅子王】、【泰山】、【鯊魚黑幫】等）和科林．布箂迪（Colin Brady，曾任【ET外星人】、【綠
