My Take
Wong Jing is impossible to ignore in any honest account of Hong Kong cinema. Born in 1955 and educated at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he could have been a refined auteur but instead became the city's great crowd-pleaser, churning out brash, commercial hits through the booming 1990s. Critics call him vulgar; I find his unembarrassed commitment to entertaining the audience genuinely admirable, the instinct of a true showman-businessman. Director, writer, producer, actor: his versatility is itself very Hong Kong. To me, the sheer volume of raucous energy he poured into popular film is an achievement that deserves real credit.
