Abstract

This brief film analysis will look for a comedy Carry on Dancing/Gai Juk Tiu Mou, co-directed by Leung Po-chi and Kam Kwok-leung in 1988. It will provide a closely content analysis from aesthetic perspective on how the film language participates in the shape of personae for different characters. By this analysis, I aim to provide a typical examplar on the coalesce between personae shape in textual sense and its artistic visual representation by film language inr Hong Kong genre films.
