Perhaps too good to be true? indeed mainstream movies, though produced with a commercial incentive, are often the makers' personal projections of an ideal world even if it is impossible in real life. Some regard fictionalization to be an illustionistic escape, but fictionalization is a humanistic form of agency. UFO filmmaker Lee Chi-ngai's aspiration is uncompromising: we could all be magicians, to ourselves and to one another, and, we must be. 常道虚構和想象是逃避現實的幻覺主義的表現,與落實建設社會背道而馳。換個角度,虚構是能動的體現,創作者投射的自由,開啔着一扇門,讓我們窺見别的可能性。電影人李志毅的個人投射清晰而肯定:我們都可以是人生的魔術師,是自己的,也是彼此的,而且必須如此。

If documentaries are not just for viewing and getting new information, what else can it be? The two keywords "participatory" and "bodily engagement" speak of documentaries as the result of caring for our environment enough to strategies actions to research out. Reenactment is to become them (the migrant workers) in order to be able to narrate their experience.
