Gimme Kudos

2005 · 95 min Comedy
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

Old-fashioned, middle-aged Yang Hongqi claims that on a rainy night he saved a university coed from the threat of sexual violence on the outer limits of Nanjing city. He soon begs Gu Guoge, a superstar reporter at Nanjing Newspaper, for public kudos in the press. At first Gu ignores the absurd request, but pushed by Yang's desperate and tenacious attitude Gu begins to look at verifying the case. Finally he finds the victim, Ouyang Hua but no witness. Later, it is revealed why Yang strives so desperately to publicize his heroics: extolled as a model of a national laborer, his father has lived with many medals and commendations on the wall of his hometown and wants to hang Yang's commendation on the wall before his death.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a narrative that relies on the absurd premise of a man begging for public praise to explore themes of honor, truth, and societal validation in modern China. It builds a compelling contrast between naive persistence and media cynicism.

What lingers after the final scene is a poignant meditation on the price of a good deed and the elusive nature of truth itself. The comedy serves as a sharp vehicle for deeper social observation. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Huang Jianxin
