《無蟹可擊》 Crab! runs for 24 minutes. Our vision for the film was, at the outset, for it to be widely accessible – that anybody watching it could relate to its dual themes of perseverance and family ties.
The idea for our story germinated from the old Hokkien song 爱拼才会赢 (roughly translated as: those who work hard will triumph). Indeed, the concept of 拼, or pursuing with dogged determination, was one which came up constantly in our discussions of the things that mattered to us, or that we believed in.
片長24分鐘的《無蟹可擊》以普羅大眾為出發點,目的在於傳達劇中的兩大主題-拼搏精神以及親情的可貴。
本故事的創作靈感來自一首耳熟能詳的福建歌曲 - 《愛拼才會贏》。而此精神也是製作團隊秉持的信念,因而產生了此故事概念。
