The Right Thing (2010)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

In November, 2008, Chen Yun-lin visited Taiwan, a critical moment in history where the first official Chinese envoy to ever step on Taiwan soil in 60 years. Meanwhile, Taiwan people's freedom of speech and personal liberty were severely suppressed by the state apparatus. Student protesters assembled via internet networking all over the place, to voice their anger at the abuse of their common value. In the course of the struggle, suspicion arises among members of the movement due to ideological differences and distrust. They are engrossed in activism, schoolwork, active citizenship, politics, passion and self-reflection. Here in Taipei, in this square, in their twenties.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
