Asked about this success, Dai commented that Taiwan cinema since 1990 has drifted further and further away from mainstream audiences, not because it has dealt with oddball subjects, but because of the storytelling techniques that have been employed.
對於這次的成功，戴立忍表示，1990 年之後，台灣電影與主流觀眾漸行漸遠，關鍵不在於題材是否冷僻，而是說故事的方式。
