Written By - 再生號



Written By (再生號) is a 2009 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Sean Lau, Kelly Lin, and Mia Yam.

The movie starts with a blacked out conversation between father and daughter about ghost. The father is about to reveal if he believes in ghost. But they have an car accident. The daughter becomes blind and the father dies. The mother and brother are also in the car and they survived as well. A brief glimpse into their immediate grief is explored. But you're fast forwarded 10 years and the mother hasn't gotten over the grief yet. In order to help with the coping, the daughter suggest to write a story. But this story will have the father surviving the crash and receiving blindness, but the other 3 dying. And in this story, the father is going to write about himself seeing the ghost.

Get that, you're basically going to get 3 different stories. The first 2 layers are reality based, but the third is not. As ghost and magically things happen.

The movie was short and the mind trip only lasted two thirds of the movie. In the end, you're left with grief but hope for the lone surviving person.
