By Han Cheung / Staff ReporterAn Odyssey of Dreams (童夢) starts off with a dark tone, as main subject Michael Leu (呂游銘) describes a recurring nightmare where he is being chased. It’s not all fun and games, though, as Leu also talks about his past, his work ethic, and his determination to make it in America. Some of these seem like devices to incorporate interesting but perhaps otherwise irrelevant shots into the film, but they help make the randomness less jarring. The film’s tone changes about two-thirds into the film, as the audience probably has a good idea of who Leu is by then. It also starts employing a variety of fun effects such as adding a microphone echo to Leu’s voice when he recites a speech by his elementary school principal.
