  • A Brighter Summer Day is a nearly four-hour long, 1991 Taiwanese romantic drama film directed by Taiwanese director Edward Yang. The film is an extraordinarily large project for a Chinese-language film, not only for its duration of almost four hours, but also for its involvement of more than 100 amateur actors in different roles. Based on a real incident that took place in the 1960s, where a teenager murders his girlfriend at Guling Street (牯嶺街), Taipei for unknown reasons. The film places this murder incident in the context of the obscure political environment in Taiwan at that time. Political background of the film is introduced in intertitles as: "Millions of Mainland Chinese fled to Taiwan with the National Government after its civil war defeat by the Chinese Communists in 1949. Their children were brought up in an uneasy atmosphere created by the parents' own uncertainty about the future. Many formed street gangs to search for identity and to strengthen their sense of security. " Even though the film is extraordinarily long in duration, it received much critical acclaim and now stands as one of the most successful and important Chinese-language films. The film was awarded several wins in Asia Pacific Film Festival, Kinema Junpo Awards and Tokyo International Film Festival. Zhang Guozhu, Zhang Guozhu's son Chang Chen (which is his film debut) and Elaine Jin are cast in A Brighter Summer Day.

  • 《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》（A Brighter Summer Day）即改編自台灣青少年真實殺人事件的電影作品。上映前，民生報曾在頭版上，報導此片特殊的選角方式，但在角色一直無法確定，以及過於倉促之下，曾一度暫時停止拍攝計劃。然而，飾演演員的選角、制作技術的繁雜及拍攝資金的銜接方面，亦造成相當大的困擾與挑戰，總共歷時110個工作日，才將本片拍攝完成。 另外，美國歌手艾維斯·普萊斯里所演唱的歌曲《Are You Lonesome Tonight》中的一句歌詞「... to a brighter summer day」，則擷取成為本片的英譯片名。
