Discuss how An Autumn’s Tale addresses the issues of migration, diaspora and gender.
You can talk about the characters, the settings, and the story. Think about how Hong Kong/Chinese immigrants
are portrayed in the film – who are they, why are they there, what do they do. Consider how the filmmaker use
New York as spaces for these new immigrants. What are the different locations and why those locations are
chosen? Think about how relationships between Hong Kong and New York is represented. Remember to
address gender in your discussion. How do being a man or a woman affects how he or she fare as represented
in An Autumn’s Tale story of the Chinese diaspora?
This is a film discussion, be sure to describe events/scenes in the film.
Beside the assigned readings, you want to consult the MOOC Handout for Unit 3 to give you some ideas for
the discussion.
