Synopsis 故事大綱
A single act of kindness, involving three DVD players, plunged a father and son into a fate they could never reverse. Like a sinking ship, they desperately tried to slow their descent, but ultimately could not overcome the water rising past their noses and throats.
⼀個善良舉動,讓⼀對⽗⼦因著三台 DVD 機,捲入了⼀⽣都無法扭轉的命運;他們如同⼀艘沉船,只得拼命減緩下沉的速度,卻始終敵不過⽔淹過⿐喉。

Director’s Statement 導演闡述
I have always used my works to express things that interest or attract me. What truly influences how I view this film are the questions I’ve asked at different stages of life. Sometimes I found answers; sometimes, even bigger questions. In the Same Boat allowed me to thoroughly understand a landscape, environment, industry, and atmosphere I had never touched before. For me, a Chinese man approaching middle age with an increasing sense of responsibility, it illustrated what choices mean. This is not just a documentary about the Lin family but also records my own discomfort with identity transitions.
《同⼀條船上》讓我徹底去了解⼀個我⽣活軌跡不曾企及的地貌、環境、⾏業、和氣味,可是對⼀個也將進入中年的我,相當於有著更多責任感的華⼈男性來講,演繹了選擇是什麼,所以這不是⼀部只有紀錄了林家的故事,更紀錄下了這個時期對身份轉換感到不適應的我。
