The End of the Track
Directed by 牟敦芾
Tong and Yong-sheng are inseparable playmates, but when Yong-sheng died in a track and field training accident with Tong's present, Tong feels heartbroken and guilt-ridden. Since both families fail to understand him, Tong falls into a dark spiral. At the time, this film was banned due to its homosexual overtones and ideology, while some felt that certain sergments drew comparison with CHEN Ying-zhen's short story The Noodle Stall. After finishing this work, MOU relocated in Hong Kong. MOU Tun-fei was born in 1941, He relocated in Taiwan in 1949 and graduated from Taiwan Art College, After graduating he made two films, I Don't Dare to Tell You and The End of the Track, which were among the first independent films made in Taiwan. After his travels to Europe and South America in 1973, he began working in Hong Kong for Shaw Brothers Pictures in 1977 and made a number of bloody exploitation films.
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
