FruitChan presents an intelligently conceived, vibrant, and compassionate portrait of marginalization, alienation, and disconnection in Made in Hong Kong.
By illustrating the stark contrast between the privileged, insular life of Little Cheung and the meager existence of Fan (who is often shown in exterior shots), FruitChan illustrates the inherent social dichotomy between Hong Kong residents and mainland Chinese immigrants during the transitional period prior to the handover of Hong Kong.
Chan uses contrasting camerawork and color palettes to illustrate the dichotomous lifestyles of the two regions: the dark, saturated hues of anonymous hotel rooms, rapid cuts, and frenetic pace of Mongkok's streets seem alien and incongruous with the longer takes, medium shots, and warm tones of northeast China.
