"Golden Pee" is a short drama film that tells the story of a discouraged photographer, Cheng Hai, who finally wins a prestigious photography award but feels no happiness and instead feels empty. He believes that the pursuit of dreams involves too many sacrifices, and his life has never stabilized. He coincidentally encounters his beloved ex-girlfriend, Pei Han, only to find out she is about to get married. Cheng Hai dreams of desperately needing to urinate but being unable to do so properly. In the dream, he competes with others for a toilet and even takes photos of urinating, becoming a master photographer. In the dream, Pei Han transforms into various strangers and conflicts with Cheng Hai, yet they fall in love, only to break up due to differing ideals. Cheng Hai's constant urge to urinate stimulates his continuous struggle and pain but also leads to him capturing unique photographs. It's not until he wakes up and finally relieves himself in the bathroom that he realizes the desire to create is like the urge to urinate, a daily physiological response. Despite the pain during the process, it's an inevitable journey for a creator.
The main theme of this film is that the joy of creation is not only found in achieving goals but also accumulates in every moment of the process. Even though it eventually becomes routine and no longer stimulating, it's still worthy of applause.
This creative discourse will examine the background of the creation, analyze the story's perspective from the script structure, and discuss the aesthetics of the film from the production side, including acting, photography, and art, to evaluate the execution of the film and reflect on the achievements and lessons learned after its completion.
