戴立忍回想那場戲說：「我們重來了五、六次吧，我請對手演員不必保留，用力踹吧，感謝對方幫助我有更趨近真實狀態的演出。」姚志衞讚：「戴立忍是我心中父親角色首選，拍攝過程他每個take都100%達標。」光是父子在餐桌靜靜吃早餐的畫面，都能感受兩人情感羈絆與拉扯。

《明天比昨天長久》取材導演姚志衞個人成長經驗，入選柏林影展新世代單元，日前於金馬影展放映也獲觀眾好評。戴立忍與素人演員陳嘉良飾演關係緊繃、缺乏溝通的父子，戴立忍是遠從台灣到新加坡謀生的消毒工人，惡劣的環境和職業傷害侵襲著他的身體，在稠密的工業城市，一切都令人倍感窒息，陳嘉良飾演在校飽受同儕霸凌的兒子小明，兩個互相依伴卻又孤獨迷惘的靈魂渴望尋找出路，探尋存在的意義。

聊起創作靈感，姚志衞表示很多想法源於自己的成長經驗，像是小時候給奶奶照顧，後來奶奶過世、爸爸生病等。至於小明在男校被霸凌的部分，是放入身邊朋友的經歷，同時融入自己青少年時的憂傷跟孤獨，他說道：「寫劇本時，常跟隨直覺走。」最終完成這部如夢似幻的長片作品。

戴立忍片中台詞不多，幾乎靠眼神與沒有電影演出經驗的陳嘉良對戲，因導演和陳嘉良在開拍前好幾個月便開始排練，戴立忍說：「我加入後並未覺察嘉良是素人演員。他在整部片中表現相當出色且稱職。」導演則表示：「思考選角時，第一個想到就是戴立忍，我看過很多台灣電影，認為他是感情很強烈的演員，他就是我的首選。」在電影籌備期，正巧是疫情期間，導演透過視訊跟戴立忍聊人生、聊想法，一拍即合談定合作，他讚戴立忍的演技與敬業態度，「我喊action前，他就已經進入角色！」

開拍前，戴立忍特地到新加坡工廠，學習如何操作煙霧除蟲設備，艱苦維生；但卻也在面對霸凌兒子的青少年們，遭背後踹倒在地，化身外表偽裝強悍實則脆弱的父親形象。講到被踹的橋段，他笑說：「那個鏡頭我們重來了五、六次，導演最終成片選用的可能不是被踹得最狠的那一次。」好在年少時大量運動打下良好肢體基礎，戴立忍分享：「我面對這類肢體衝突的演出時總能全身而退，因此我通常會請對手演員不必保留，用力踹吧，並感謝對方其實是在幫助我有更趨近真實狀態。」

《明天比昨天長久》由導演姚志衞執導，戴立忍、陳嘉良主演，2024年1月19日在台上映。

The film follows sixteen-year-old Meng for whom life is not the most fulfilling, with him lounging at home with his grieving father on a daily basis, being excluded from his family’s past and forced into bullying other kids at school. Everything changes when he is thrown into a life-altering adventure that propels him into an exciting unfamiliar landscape.

The cast includes Taiwanese filmmaker and actor and Golden Horse award winner Leon Dai, emerging Singaporean actor Edward Tan making his screen debut, Jay Victor, Julius Foo and Lekheraj Sekhar.

Producers include Fran Borgia (Locarno winner “A Land Imagined”), Jeremy Chua (Venice winner “Autobiography”), Stefano Centini (“In My Mother’s Skin”), Xavier Rocher (Locarno winner “The Sacred Spirit”) and Ico Costa (Coimbra Caminhos do Cinema Portugues winner “Alva”)

The film is a Singapore-Taiwan-France-Portugal coproduction between Akanga Film Asia, Volos Films, La Fabrica Nocturna Cinéma, Potocol and Oublaum Filmes in association with Tiger Tiger Pictures, with the participation of the Singapore Film Commission, Taiwan Creative Content Agency, L’aide Aux Cinemas Du Monde, Centre National Du Cinema Et De L’image Animée, Institut Francais, Kaohsiung Film Fund and Department Of Cultural Affairs Taoyuan.

The project was developed at Jerusalem Sam Spiegel Film Lab and presented at Berlinale Talents Project Market, Talents Tokyo and Golden Horse Film Project Promotion.

“That there is an indelible, almost metaphysical but concrete link between parent and child is a belief deeply ingrained in the Asian family. The actions of one determines the fate of the other. The next life of a parent is their child. This became an intimate starting point to put against the backdrop of a contemporary, economically driven society, where progress and survival are the essential components of modern life. In today cities, we often see startling images of beautiful lights and skyscrapers but what has often been forgotten are the people working to sustain these ‘images,’” Jow said in his director’s statement.

“Chua and Meng, the father and son of my film exist in a social context where in the mass of steel and concrete spaces, they are underpinned by very fragile lives. Chua, the father, is struggling on the periphery, while Meng, a callow youth, is searching for his identity in a displaced society. This is a personal portrait of the massive dichotomy of economic progress and the people who maintain it, a working class lost in the wilderness of survival in the modern world,” Jow added.

Pluto Film is handling international sales and will represent the film at Berlin.
