Curiosità

Return to Burma is the first feature movie directed by Taiwanese director Midi Z, who was born in Myanmar. It continues the theme of his short movie The Man From Hometown. The film is packed with Poor Folk (2012) and Ice Poison (2014) by the distributor as the director's "Homecoming Trilogy." The other two films of the trilogy depict the lives of illegal immigrants of Chinese ethnicity on the border of Myanmar.

Production

Director Midi Z made Return to Burma realistically close to documentary from the perspective of a Myanmar Chinese. The film is mostly based on his own experiences. He takes the audience into the struggles and displacements of Myanmar society, presenting the changing Myanmar and the real conditions and life situations of its people. Growing up in Myanmar, Midi Z does not shy away from the issue of "poverty" in Myanmar.

Midi Z admitted that the inspiration for this film came from his own emotional experience when he returned to his hometown after ten years of absence. Through his personal insights, the film also captures the collective spirit of Myanmar during the transitional period of opening up and democratization, earning Midi Z the recognition as the successor to the tradition of realistic storytelling in Taiwanese cinema, as praised by programmers at the V…

In the movie, there is a scene where Shin-Hong brought two books of literature to a man he had not met in 12 years: Rabindranath Tagore's Selected Poems of Tagore and Gao Xingjian’s One Man’s Bible. The man is Midi Z’s real classmate in junior middle school, who was very talented in writing. The man became a teacher, had a wife and a child, and lived an ordinary life. He had no leisure to write poems after the birth of his child.

The character Wang Hing-Hong’s name is actually the actor’s real name. He is also the executive producer of this film, Wang Fu-Ang. He actually had no interest in acting in the film. But Myanmar was too dangerous at the time of the film’s production; he could not find any actor who would risk his life, so he took the role.
