Example text
A Chinese rock band sings a cookie-cutter tune that sounds like any one of the many popular corporate rock bands of the day—Foreigner, Journey, or Thin Lizzy—with a Cantonese lead vocal. At the film's close, grim and grimy monochrome images of Chinatown accompany the jaunty strains of "Grant Street, San Francisco" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song. The process of watching the film can be likened to meditating on a Zen koan—the point being not to solve the mystery but to gain illumination by forcing one's mind through a paradoxical exercise.
While at work at the bustling Golden Dragon, Henry rambles on about a number of subjects in English and Chinese, none of them shedding any light on Chan's disappearance. Thus, the pair is led down the first of many blind alleys in their search for the missing Chan. " ("fresh off the boat") is coloring his judgement in the Chan disappearance— an allegation Jo shrugs off. At home, Jo receives his next lead in the form of a telephone answering machine message from Steve: Chan spent a good deal of time working at a Manilatown senior center.
The old man thinks Chan Hung's just a paranoid person. Henry thinks Chan Hung is patriotic and has gone back to the mainland to serve the people. Frankie thinks that Chan Hung worries a lot about money and his inheritance—he thinks that Chan Hung's back in Taiwan, fighting with his brother over the partition of some property. George thinks Chan Hung's too Chinese, and unwilling to change. Presco thinks he's an eccentric who likes Mariachi music. Jo is once more driving in his cab, reflections spilling across the windshield: The problem with me is that I believe what I see and hear.
