《老徐的完結篇》是一部關於探討老人問題,藉由婚姻生子延續發展家族結構的電影短片。由筆者自己發想,由自己以及周遭五年級生的朋友,在普遍未婚的情況下,受到家裡父母傳宗接代傳統觀念下,督促結婚生子的壓力,劇本故事結構由此發想,發展而成。 本片企劃書由『吳念真企劃製作公司』送案,獲得「九十七年度新聞局電影短片輔導金」補助100萬元,今年二月開始執行拍攝計畫。先募集工作人員, 筆者先行到南部勘景,看過高雄愛河,左營眷村,台南安平區,安南區等地方。 認為高雄市現在已經興建太多的高樓大廈,和筆直的大馬路,不符合劇本設定的氛圍。正在拆除的左營眷村,有拍攝取景上的跼礙,只剩下高雄愛河一景,單獨拍攝愛河一個場景,又會造成製片在有限資金上過多的支出。最後決定南部場景在台南地區拍攝。之後所有工作人員在三月份敲定,全片在四月拍攝完成。 本片探討當今普遍的社會老人化的現象,傳宗接代的傳統家庭觀念。在這畢業製作的論述之中,探討包括社會學上強勢父權家庭的建立,中國在傳宗接代延續家族結構的觀念,不婚主義者的思維的探討,和文本分析。 在影片製作過程中,導演的創作理念,和作品美學闡述。本論述檢視了李安電影《喜宴》中父親對兒子傳宗接代的的殷切期待,和本片父親老徐對兩個兒子的尚未結婚生子,強烈期待的落空。兩者父親對抱孫之事落空和重獲期待的行為差異。
