My 747

Synopsis

747 is an 8-year-old YAMAHA scooter, 50cc, and its model name is DNU-747. The film starts with the distinctive motorbike experience from the viewpoint of 747. It is interspersed with fragmented imagery of petty junk like penalty records and old flyers, recorded on photo, ENG and DV. Tracing a journey from 1996 to 2004, the film is a private chronicle that will resonate with all Taiwanese people who have ever owned a motorbike.
