Simply Actors
NOTES
When undercover cops start losing their lives to drug lords who blame their demise on “poor acting”, the Police Force counters by sending Hong Kong's Finest to acting school. Man Long Chan (Jim Chim), a constable whose antics and showmanship win him best performance awards at the Force's annual parties, is handpicked by the Deputy Police Commissioner to enroll incognito into Performance Arts Academy as an experiment in upgrading police acting abilities. Man Long is thrilled that his lifelong acting dreams are finally going to be realized, but quickly finds out that his plain looks and exaggerated performance skills are no match to his younger and better looking classmates. His only good friend in class is a mid-term new student Dani (Charlene Choi), whose claim to fame is starring in a string of skin flicks, but is an aspiring actress with a heart of gold. Man Long's confidence plunges into a downward spiral when he fails in a police operation and nearly loses his life.......

| Message | Comedy serves various functions within society, such as satirizing those in power to make ordinary people feel less repressed. During the current economic recession, comedy becomes a major tool to sooth the heart and soul.Although comedy is hard to write and hard to perform, it remains my favorite genre because during the process, the communication between the writer/director and the actor is filled with creative joy.Simply Actors hopes that through comedy, it can reveal the relationship between life and acting. I am most honored to have Hong Kong’s master of comic theatre, Mr Jim Chim to convey the most profound acting theories to the screen audience via the simplest and easiest to understand methods.Life is a drama and drama is life. I wish everyone’s life is a comedy where one can use laughter to drive away tears. Comedy, is simply a way of life. | |
