| Summary |
| |
A coming-of age comedy taking place at the Chengongling army training camp, Off to
Success is a fun-filled caricature of Taiwan’s mandatory military rite of passage.
Fully endorsed by the nationalist government and unconditionally supported
by the military, this uplifting service comedy of gags and physical slapstick also
managed to dispense a fitting amount of patriotism and political correctness. In
the turbulent years after the Americans abandoned Taiwan, Off to Success provided much-needed comic relief to the islanders. Its huge success sparked off a
production boom of numerous military comedies - George Chun Han Wang, A Brief History of Taiwanese Comedy Cinema. |
