i was 7 years in china and i left, and the ending really got me, ' im too foreign to fit in here, and iv been away so long im too foreign to fit in at home'.
The worst thing is if you say that to someone in your home country they think you are being pretentious or actively TRYING to seperate your self from them, but its a real feeling.
Absolutely feel what u r sayin
I lived in Shanghai just for 2 years, came back home for a year and just couldn't stay there. I have moved, but people back there stayed the same...
Living abroad really broadens your mind and it's hard to explain to those who've never left home...
U had lived in China for 7 yrs huh? so how about ur mandarin proficiency, do you eat Chinese food in ur most time? Do you try to think the world in Chinese mindset? I guess your answers are no no and no. that's why u are pretentious.
@AndongI just think someone seems to play a victim card
The “sounding pretentious” thing is so true 😔 I especially get that living in the UK now, would love to live in China some day. I do feel like a foreigner going back home, maybe I’ll just bounce around forever ~
Give it some time and get to know other people, especially the ones you respect, that have lived in different cultures. You'll find that you actually belong or "fit in" more cultures than people in China or at home. You only have a short amount of time in this world. It is a gift to have a connection with a much larger portion of the humanity.
I have been in and out of China since 2004. I moved to China as a long term resident in 2013. I have watched China grow and change. I have changed with it. I have seen so much, and I know my time is nearing its end. I have so many stories and experiences. This country is not recognizable, and now I am so different. I am sad to let go, but I got to move on. This video hit so hard.
Now Mamahuhu is over, I hope it's not too late to make a comment on your terrific works. As a Chinese based in Shanghai and Europe, Mamahuhu is my only favoured CZcams Channel among the ones that tell China stories while underlining their expats background. You guys are smart storytellers and romanticist. While apparently all the other China-based Channels by the non-Chineses(that I encountered) are either travel vlogs or politic talk shows, giving explicit opinions in a dualistic mindset, Mamahuhu, just like its name马马虎虎, blurs boundary of categories and complicates the commonplace of west and east, by stirring things up with fantasies and humours.
Farewell, Mamahuhu, wish you all the best. You may think Shanghai isn't the same as it in 2013, but without Mamuhuhu, Shanghai won't be the same either.
Wow, thank you.
Such a great comment. I lived in China from 2007 and 2012 and been back every yes for short visits. What you guys put together keeps bringing back nostalgia. All the actors, comedians, stories mixed with the beautiful cinematography is remarkable. I will definitely miss your sketches.
Been following you guys for years. Watched you evolve into the professional outfit you now are. I’m very sorry that it’s over, but then again I’m not surprised. Shanghai has changed beyond recognition recently and it’s just not the same anymore. The trickle of old school expats leaving has turned into a flood. People who I considered lifers have moved on from China and I am one of them. I’ve tried repatriation, but I’m just not ready for that yet.
What's happened in Shanghai? I know things have changed in Beijing (where I spent a few years) but don't know as much about Shanghai.
@@jonsmith5626 The "Beijing Effect", for a lack of a better term. Everything became a lot more strict. Stuff like constant police raids last year really put a damper on things. One second, you're enjoying a beer with some good friends, and the next you have a number written on your hand as you wait in line to give a hair and urine sample to the police. Two and a half hours later, you're free to continue your night. As a middle aged, law abiding adult, it was a drag to have to go through that, and constantly have it in your mind that it could happen again at any time.
@@SeaToSkyImages damn I didn't know that shanghai was like that too since it's a bit more "open" than the the rest of China. I'm in Beijing and it definitely has been going downhill since at least 2016, when there was a wave of closures and crackdowns on foreigner bars. Since then the city has become a soulless place. Anything remotely fun is forbidden, and there is very little to do apart from the usual KTV and hotpot. It is very sad for those people like me who experienced China as a vibrant place.
@@SeaToSkyImages why you were asked to give hair and urine samples? could you elaborate?
@@jetw9522 Hey Jet. The government rolled out a campaign to rid Shanghai of "undesirable foreigners", so they started to do random drug tests at popular pubs, bars and restaurants around the city during the weekends in 2019. If the police suspected that you were a potential drug user, they'd go to your home late at night, and bring you in to the police station. They'd use samples of your hair and urine to determine if you'd used any drugs within the last six months. The tests didn't determine whether someone had used drugs in China though, just if there were traces of a drug in your system, so more than a few foreigners were kicked out of China for smoking weed legally in their home country, but it staying in their system for months afterwards.
This final submission is just a heartbreaking, beautiful, and all-too-real meditation on our changing landscape. Mamahuhu has defined the expat’s experience in China while maintaining positivity and respect for the city of Shanghai and its people. I’ll miss your uncynical brand of humor, and I’ve enjoyed watching all your careers grow over the years. 加油 guys.
Absolutely beautiful and blessed and intelligent and spirited. BLESS the whole Mamahuhu team past and present. No matter where you all wind up in your lives you have all done something truly wonderful with this channel. A longtime fan from. The UK. Stay blessed and I hope you all bring out more work across all platforms. PEACE and BLESSINGS to you all.
"Silly videos"? Know none of them, watched merely pieces of phantastic art and composition. Thanks for that, for the motivation, the reflectiveness put in amazing humor. I hope you know and were knowing that you are inspiring a lot of people on a 1:1 level.
To the premier-time I'll be working off-grid, but going to make sure to enjoy your film with friends afterwards. I wish the best to every single one of you. I never had a mamahuhu-favourite, in other words you are all my favourites. Each so special. Thank you a lot for sharing.
I am Chinese and I am surprised after reading the comments. What happened in Shanghai or the whole of China? I, a Chinese, have not noticed any changes. We live freely. Finally, foreigners living in China, can you guys tell me about changes?
这些老外最好还是回去"自由民主国”
There is a general feeling that China has gradually become less friendly to foreigners in the past 10 years. For example, one thing that is referred to in the video is that there have been increasing numbers of police raids in places were foreigners go (bars, their own apartments or in my case my own office) and forcing people to pee in cups for drug tests, etc. For me this general feeling was one of the reasons I moved out of the country a few years ago.
Content technique acting music lighting and insight...and the list go on. Everything is so astonishingly professional. Been fortunate to have worked with you guys when you in Shanghai. See you on Oscar awards ♥️
You rock, Norah! :)
野生 Norah!
The line about it all being an escape, but not being able to escape the escape is bang on. I left Shanghai in July 2019 and I cried like a baby in the Didi to the airport. I've missed it so much and accepted a job offer to go back in November 2019, with a start date in February 2020. Obviously that didn't happen. I'm still very much wanting to go back as soon as it's possible to do so, but eventually I know I'm going to have to say goodbye to Shanghai forever because ultimately I want to start a family in my home town, and that breaks my heart. Leaving Shanghai the first time is the hardest thing I ever did. I already know leaving the second time is going to be just as hard.
Sorry to hear about your struggle to get back into China. I've been in a similar situation, myself. I lived in Shenzhen and really loved it. I think the next time I go back to China, I'd like to go to Shanghai. I'm wondering if you could speak to the idea that they are getting across in this video? I.e The "old" and "vibrant" Shanghai is in jeopardy..... Just wondering if you have any thoughts on that? Do you think people should be put off by the way Shanghai is going?
@@michaelodonovan3732 I only lived in Shanghai for a couple of years so hopefully someone more qualified can give you more info, but I'll give you my opinion as a relatively short-term expat for what that's worth. I think Shanghai and Shenzhen are probably quite similar as very westernized tier 1 cities. It's amazing how quickly Shanghai can change. Just in the couple years I was there, the walk from the station to my office was completely changed by demolishing old buildings and building new roads, etc. There absolutely was a noticeable difference in the number of cameras everywhere. Then there's the introduction of the social credit system. I think a lot of the negative changes are political, too. Since Xi came to power, it's very noticeable how he's caused the country to go 'back into its shell' and there seems to be growing xenophobia due to CCP propaganda. Also, there are retaliatory crackdowns, like when the Huawei CFO was arrested in Canada, suddenly a number of Canadian citizens were arrested for "espionage". Honestly, it's hard to predict whether things are going to continue going this way, it really depends on the political situation more than anything. I think the main concern is the direction it's going in, not necessarily how far along in that direction it already has gone. Again, I'm sure there are a lot of people more qualified than I who can give you more info.
Sorry dude……that sucks. I was working a few hours away from Shanghai and got made redundant in November last year. I came home thinking I'll have a short break, sort out paperwork and return after the new year and obviously I'm still stuck at home two million years later. China is and can be a glorious head fuck……i miss it. I want a Baozi😅
@@wanderingwestgarth5904 Yeah, man, it's a shitty situation to be in. I miss my boozed up KTV sessions with me pals
Night Knight As Chinese I agree with you, especially the xenophobia. Actually ,not only the expats , even the Chinese living abroad will be attacked by words sometimes. But most of the people are rational. Political stuff are too complicated, I just hope the people can live a happy life
Bravo, you guys have really outdone yourselves with this one!
maybe ,only you ,understood .
@Zahin Shahazad sorry ,i told xiaoma . not you .
@Zahin Shahazad sorry ,where are you from ? i am using vpn.
@Zahin Shahazad haha, are you using vpn?
@Zahin Shahazad thanks for your reply .
Awesome short! I am now living back in the states, but I used to show some of your videos to my 12th grade Literature class when I was teaching at an international high school in Shanghai. My class loved them! I truly miss Shanghai and all of the Chinese and lao wai friends that I meet during my journey in China. Shanghai is a magical place. I think the movie "Lost in Translation" is a universal favorite among expats. All expats share a unique bond that only they can truly understand. One of my most unforgettable experiences living in Shanghai was meeting some of the Mamahuhu cast at Cantina Agave on Christmas day in 2017. I was having dinner with a buddy, and to my pleasant surprise they were seated right behind us. I didn't recognize anyone at first, but then I heard the unmistakable voice of Andy, and then saw his unmistakable beard (haha) I also met Matt and Alessio that evening. A memory that I will always cherish!
You guys were the first content creator I watched when I came to china, some of my friends worked with you guys too! you always brought joy and entertainment to me and my friends and we always keep up and talk about your latest videos! I look up to you guys, your high production, comedic content that brings value and entertainment to the community is what I strive to be! Thanks for all the inspiration and I hope you guys would go on and make greater and bigger projects in the future! I always tell everyone you guys deserve way more credit than you do and I wish one day to see you guys on the big stage!!
I'd pay for a director's cut where CCTV's voice doesn't change, it's just the original Chinese voice actor doing a poor impression of Scarlett Johansson for half an hour
Haha!
Who misses Mamahuhu talent too? 💜
this is truly exceptional quality, guys, this is insane how this doesn't have a million views by now. CZcams algorithms, you're drunk, go home and take a sleep
I did not stay in Shanghai nearly as long as most expats and the friends that I had made back there, but seeing and hearing how the city and the country has changed and how my friends are leaving Shanghai is just heartbreaking. This channel was like a memorabilia of Shanghai, a thing to remind me of the time I spent there and it is uttermost pity that this is the end for Mamahuhu. And an end of an era of Shanghai. Perhaps the good-old wild and crazy Shanghai will return one day but it won't be the same.
Thanks for the videos that brought back so many memories, thank you for the laughs.
This short-film was a real gem, depicting the change in a oddly romantic way. I really hope we can hear more of your new (solo)projects in the future!
The soundtrack is now available for download! wearemamahuhu.bandcamp.com/album/scarlett-shanghai-me-ost
I'm from Indonesia and I've been living in China since 2012. I've been watching you guys since TMD Shanghai days back in 2014. The invisible prank video was the first video that I watched, then as I journeyed through China, I grew up together with you guys. The new Mamahuhu that formed back in 2017 up until today? That was the best version of Mamahuhu that I've ever seen. Thanks for all the smiles and laughters that you've given us in all of these years. It's sad to see you guys go. But wherever you are, please leave an update. I will be following all of you guys as you follow your dreams. Thank you, Mamahuhu. Hope I'll be seeing you guys soon!
Guys this is a wonderful piece! Thank you thank you thank you. I love the ode to Shanghai, to Scarlett and to Lost in Translation. This is funny, emotional, tender, and yes, a little unsettling too. We’ve been following you for a few years now, and you never fail to surprise.
Gentlemen, thank you, for everything.
I just watched the movie Her yesterday, it's one of my fav movies of all time. 1 minute in I already knew where this was going, very good video!!!
Goodbyes are always sad. This reminds me of when I had to move back from Finland, and then some years later from Korea. It's always bittersweet. The more places you go to find your home, the further you get from being able to find one. I wish you all the best! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you so much for an awesome mix of entertainment and real insights of modern Shanghai and China.
Hope your new chapters r gonna be as much fun as it was here!
Good luck!
A fine work of art that almost gives a 'hal 9000' and 'black mirror's style of feeling.
The end of a chapter is always the beginning of a new one.
I am full of emotion as it speaks to all us humans who have changed so much over time through formulative moments in our lives. The feels are many and your writing, casting, cinematography, and producing are all so highly advanced over time that we can’t wait for the next chapter from all y’all’s.
Whew! What a poignant, melancholic, wistful, ominous, heartrending, relatable film. It reminded me of the end of my own time as an expat, when I discovered that there is no safe harbor from Weltschmerz.
BEAUTIFUL stuff right here
This was wonderful. Thank you. I recently left Shanghai after 8 years and the ending cut like a knife. So many nostalgic memories... and Lost in Translation is such a gem. The perfect visualisation of that fascinating, addictive, if dangerously detached bubble that is the life of a westerner in Asia. Thank you. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to following you all elsewhere.
Seems that futuristic dystopian world has arrived already. Outstanding work guys. I have watched and loved all your videos for years now. It's a sad day to see ye disband like this. Feels like this piece of work should be watched by everyone, it's like a bell ringing a warning to the rest of us. Congratulations and best of luck in the future. Love from Ireland.
have you been to Shanghai?
I love Ireland！Do you live near Dublin? I was planning for a visit this summer but corona is cruel.
Thank you so much for this……happy to have found your content and have been a fan for a few years now. A wonderful mix of insightful, helpful, stupid and funny AF. This is a lovely homage to Her, Lost in Translation and life in China!…Great cinematography as always by Alessio and damn Adam and Matt brought the feels.
I love you ScarJo!😂
Time to have a look at the merch!
Knowing you guys are done is like hearing a good friend is moving away. Sad but wish the best on your future endeavors.
Thanks for the memories ❤️ It's weird how sometimes you don't realise how special a certain time was until much later. When I left Shanghai it was on to the next adventure and I didn't really stop for a single minute to say goodbye to what was there. Been back since, but it was never the same as that first time.
Your filmmaking ability has really improved a lot over the past year. Watched everything. Please keep it up and I look forward to the next creation!
That’s beautiful and so true. I’ve been in China for 3 years and that end “Can you escape from escape” hit me too hard, but thank you, you’re doing a great job👍🏻
Outstanding work guys, sorry to see y’all go. Watching my hometown becoming this shiny, perfect, but soulless place is heartbreaking, so much is familiar yet so much i don’t recognize anymore. thank you for capturing it.
So sad, thanks a bunch for your videos! You guys were great! Thanks for showing us a little glimpse into Shanghai and its fascinating culture ❤️ you will be missed
Great script guys, I honesty felt a lot of emotion about what you guys have been through and it really hit home about how to escape from an escape. It's been 2 years or so since I left SH, it's been a strange ride but I found a new path and embrace it. Keep writing the scripts, keep making the short films. Never stop.
Thanks for all the feels. Look forward to coming across your future projects and going “hey they were mamahuhu!”
I'm really surprised your guys' channel isn't MUCH larger. You guys/gals are really funny. The channel quality is what any great channel should aspire to be. I'm sad I found you guys so late in your journey, but i'm doing a channel binge now and I will be sad when I reach the last few "going away" videos. I Hope to see more great content from you guys and watch your channel GROW!!
Loved it!!! As soon as you cut to buddy sitting behind the desk I lost it. 😂🤣
This is a masterpiece, and the channel will be missed. I wish you all success and happiness in future endeavours (hopefully, more filmmaking). And I will keep coming back to the legacy you are leaving behind. :)
Thank you Alessio and Adam for all your hard work! It s been an incredible journey and we will miss your work dearly!
Found out about you guys when I moved to China at the start of the year. The journey has been short but amazing. All the laughs and all the feels. Thank you. :)
Good luck with all your future adventures. Watched you guys during my 2 years in China, made me get through all those days that made me wonder why I was there.
Enjoyed it thoroughly. Another example of your holing standards
Made me want to and rewatch ‘Her’ and ‘Lost in Translation’ again.
Wonderfully done.
Thank you.
I discovered Mamahuhu a few years ago. I remember the first video I watched was Sajiao. My first impression was "Wow, no one summed up that characteristic as well as you guys did!" I'm Chinese living in the overseas. Sometimes I suffer from not being able to find someone with the same level of cultural awareness. You guys made me realize that I'm not alone. I have not seen other CZcamsrs capture living in China the same level like you guys did. I hope you guys go way beyond Mamahuhu, and I hope that we'll be fortunate enough to see your work again. Love and respect.
Wow. Your videos were a big motivation in moving to Shanghai a few years ago and now realizing my time there may be over this is incredibly sad. Thanks for all your guys hard work, best of luck.
thanks for everything. sure made me think of china with hope sometimes. all the best to you guys If you ever stop by macau please let us know!
OMG! You guys outdid yourselves on this one. Amazing! Love you and miss Shanghai a bit now and your faces!
Silly, but kind of bittersweet. Followed you while I was growing up for many years. And I loved the Her references! Hope to see more work from y'all again someday soon :)
OMG! I'm so excited to watch it! Couldn't watch it in Shanghai so this is the next best thing!
My last time in China was in 2011, and my life since then has had almost no China contact as I moved to a new country where I have been making a home and totally different kind of life. But I have watched and loved your videos because they made me feel some connection to my past experiences. So many of your videos were relatable and made me remember so many little things, like the hot water cure and walking backwards, the total depression at Christmastime and the awkwardness and longing upon returning home. Some touched something at the core of the expat in China experience in ways that I find indescribable, like the dying and reappearing at the airport skit. Others, like anything about Chinese social media and apps post 2011, were totally new to me, but I felt like your videos were a way to keep up. Transitions are hard, but when I look back, the transition years have been some of the most interesting and rewarding. All the best to the whole cast past and present, and thank you very much for making these videos for so many years.
Great Video! Epic ending! The drone shot in the beginning is amazing. One of the best ones ever made of Shanghai
Thanks for all the videos and Good luck for the future
I know that you guys have had long breaks in the past, and at times you didn't know what to do next with the channel, but it's super sad that this is truly the end. You guys gave an interesting view into a world that was a mystery to a lot of people. I know that the world has changed, and the future is uncertain. But, I hope that one day, you guys might collaborate again.
Under the Mamahuhu banner or otherwise, we hope so too.
Your work is really amazing, I've never seen people grow that much in writing and production like that. I can't believe you guys are leaving us after this amazing film. Feel a bit sad, but I'm sure it's not the end and I'll keep checking out new work of you guys, thanks for the links in the description. I actually came to China (Beijing) 3.5 years ago, although that's not too long ago, I also feel the change tbh, it's just becoming more and more stringent, taking away this sense of freedom I fell in love with when I first came here. I must say 2020 with this virus situation made that much worse. I'm sad that nice, intelligent and interesting people like you guys are leaving China, hoping for the best for the future of China's people and wish you guys all the best! From a Dutch dude that's somehow still in China
What do you feel the long term holds for China?
@@madrigale6396 I wish I could give you a good answer to that question, I'm also very interested in the future of China, but there's so much going on now in China, in the world and in the relationships between China and many other countries. Because of that I feel like it could go into many different directions, but I think China is definitely not giving up on their regime anytime soon and the world is also not going to give in to it, so that means lots of friction, which means a lot of what might happen is pretty unpredictable imo. What I do know is that China is developing more and more, that's also why it's becoming more stringent, more serious, also towards foreigners. And in many ways this is just normal, of course not anyone should be allowed to come to China and just earn simple money as a foreigner for working illegally like many do here (teachers, dancers, models, etc.), they should be stricter in some ways. But I do think, just like portrait in this video, that their technology focused on control over its citizens is getting more and more out of hand and I'm afraid the future will definitely see much more of that, which I think is pretty worrisome. Anyways, I hope the people of China will be able to keep developing more in terms of income and education like they've been doing the last few decades. So many of them really are lovely, hard working people, really, many of them have tough lives and I just wish them the best future
@@r0conscious As an Indian, we will love such technology that controls citizens so crimes drop down. As a student who studied medicine in New York, I wish it was more safer and stricter. Looking back at my American journey that ended in 2020 and my Indian work life that started in 2020 itself, I can say this technology is what keeps China organised. And I do not wish that they ever back down from it. Otherwise the result is the same as what we get to see in California these days. Anyone who do not wish to live this way, is also free to leave. No one is bounding you!
OMG..this is simply amazing. So glad I was a long for the journey. From you slapstick to serious, this channel has evolved to amazing content. Thank you to all the talented souls who shined such a positive light on the Shanghai that I love. I have traveled to Shanghai for 8 years now and find it so beautiful....all the while aware of the cctv presence . Can’t wait to see what is next.
Looove it, thanks for this moment. I miss Shanghai, you truly depicted my paradoxical love for this city.
Loved this!!! So well done. I miss working with you guys, and I miss Shanghai :'(
Great work guys! Thanks for being with us for all these years!
this is actually so damn good! Well bloody done and I can't even imagine the hard work behind the scenes
I waited on purpose watching this one. Now I will set myself down with a cup of coffee and enjoy your last production under the Mamahuhu banner. Thanks guys, thanks for the years of entertainment you gave us, and farewell.
Edit: just finished watching and here's my brief review.
First off, this is Mamahuhu on a whole new level. Top notch acting without overdoing it, same goes for filming/production, hats off to the team. Both Adam and Matt have shown their qualities as actors here, hands down.
* spoiler alert *
This short movie is clearly inspired by the likes of "Her" (2013) and "Lost in Translation" (2003) with the latter being shown in snippets throughout the movie, nice touch.
The main story describes life in Shanghai as the city becomes more and more overwhelmed with CCTV cameras watching your every move. Both Adam and Matt become entangled in a weird kind of relationship as the cameras become "human" and assume the identity of Scarlett Johansson through voice communication, with a definitive weird-out sex scene between Adam and "Scarlett" (watch at own discretion).
The story comes to an end as Matt and Adam meet again, clearly disappointed over "Scarlett" having left as the people behind her identity are being replaced by AI, and make their way to the roof for a final goodbye, hitting the feels hard.
Matt, Adam and the crew: again THANK YOU VERY MUCH, take of yourselves.
P.S. I'd love to see a behind on the scenes on this :-)
Wow guys, i just stumbled over this and it was fantastic. I watched your videos in the wild years when China wasn't that restricted and it was a pleasure now after all these years to watch this well made short film. I wish you guys all the best and less CCTV.
This is such a great channel and I just got into it a few months ago. I'm sad to see that it's ending
my heart is so broken ... just found out this is the end 😢
to *MamaHuhu* & the entire extended family, including all members past & present, may your lives be filled w/ happiness & success.
by the way, this final opus to your fans / friends / *Shanghai* was absolutely outstanding.
the cinematography in every scene was surreal, especially w/ the shot-for-shot matches.
even the color grading was beautiful ... great job everyone !!!
For the past three weeks I try to tell myself that it is over, no more new video from mamahuhu, but it is not easy for me. I discover the channel at the start of this year and have watch you guys works again and again during the lockdown, it just felt like the stories are so relatable and close to my heart.It just felt like Beatles got separated in the old time!!! I totally understand why you guys got separated since China is no longer the same and you guys are already separated due to covid. You guys did such a great job and I am looking forward to your guys individual works in the future!
This is a masterpiece! I really enjoyed watching your last work, just like all the previous ones. But I am not sure if the people who haven't seen "Her" would fully comprehend the humor in this story.
I love the aesthetics so much! Beautiful film, very interesting commentary. I hope this gets tons of views
I started my journey to China with Mamahuhu, and now I've ended it with you too. I loved this short film. It's brilliant, funny, and painfully true. I'm seriously gonna miss the content Mamahuhu puts out & I'd love to follow any new endeavors you guys embark on. Thank you for always sharing your experiences with us
my heart is breaking for you, guys. I hope you will find new directions to grow, you are so talented! lots of love ❤️
Mamahuhu switches to Arthouse content? What a shame I can't like this twice.
I'm so hooked, i wish it was more than 30 minutes
Sad to hear mamahuhu is over. Always enjoyed your videos. Good luck for your future projects.
What's the story on why?
@@madrigale6396 I think most of them, if not all of them have moved out of Shanghai. Life moves on. I suspect a related channel might created as I think some of them have moved to Hong Kong, but maybe that is only temporary.
@@mattks1001 I only know Andy is in HK and this one is filmed in may, 2019. is there any other info regarding the MAMAHUHU shutting down?
Truly amazing work! You guys rock! Love the channel! Hope you guys will be able to make new content, soon!
You had me at Dawn Wong, and on top of it all, this was brilliant. Thanks guys....
This is BRILLIANT. I love this satirical take especially since HER is one of my favorite movies. (*The irony is that HER was partly filmed in SH!) Coming from someone who has family in SH and grew up going back and forth from the west to SH it hits the spot! The way you guys brought light to the current political changes was done in such a eloquent way. I laughed and cried but what's most important is that you made me think and feel. You took me back to a place and time. Past and current. Well done guys!!
this couldn't get any better, you guys rock. Best of luck in your upcoming endeavors!
I can't believe I watched over 30 minutes of Mamahuhu.
It was different, it was fantastic. Everything very, very well done. If this is the end, it is certainly going out with a bang.
Premieres on CZcams in 4 days, but I already gave it a LIKE because I know it will be good as it usually is.
This is your masterpiece! You better be proud of what you've done here.
After 1 year back from China, life couldn't get any better.
Home... Home at last!
The saddest farewells are very often the most beautiful farewells. Because it means that everything that has gone on before has been meaningful, has been deep, has been worthwhile.
I left last year, been meaning to make something like this.... you guys capture it perfectly
2 years ago when I’d just got to China, I came across Mamahuhu the first time I used 人人视频.. till then I was hooked. Sad to hear it’s all come to an end but all the best to each one of you. 👍🏾
The U.S. has approximately 15.3 cameras for every 100 individuals, followed by China with approximately 14.4 and the U.K. with 7.5. While China has by far the most security cameras, the U.S. is the leader in cameras per capita.
This movie reminds me of HER. It’s soooo good! Great job guys!
All the best. Since my semester abroad 2018, I watched every video! Hope you guys continue at some point together.
Loved it, thanks for the good times guys, all was worth it
The end of an era. Thank you for the good times and laughs. Stay safe.
Very amazing! I felt tears at the end...
I was at the screening of this short movie in Shanghai!! Wish you all the best on your career as moviemakers!
I wish I could meet you Adam and Alessio! You guys are probably amazing people in real life.
My best regards from Brazil!
This is just amazing . You guys are really being slept on
Sad to see this chapter close , but definitely cant wait to see the MH crew work with Spike and Scarlett. Onward & Upward .
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing it here.
Been watching you guys even before I came to Shanghai. Your work is remarkable
premium quality guys !!! 太棒了！这个城市故事太多了🙏
Love your guys' work so much. Thanks for all the laughs and insight. As a 20 year old kid who just went abroad for the first time last year living in Shanghai for six months, it feels like a really weird time to be getting into this world. It seems like everybody is ending their China adventures and the future of foreigners there is really uncertain. Just like you guys do or did, I love China and hate to see the current situation. Here's to the future.
Feel with you. I'am in the exact same Situation!
Wow, Alessio. Make sure to send this to film competitions. Great use of pauses and silences. This is an award winning piece.
The only thing (and it's nitpicking) is the sound in the bar felt a bit off - sounded like re-recorded in post. I think it's missing distance or something. But cinematography top notch!
32:11 shows a flashback of his ex-girlfriend, which also happens to be played by Yumi (the Scarlett voice actor). So the big plot twist here is that Adam is actually imagining his ex-girlfriend's voice (it just so happens that she sounds like Scarlett Johansson).
This is the most beautiful farewell there ever could be.
I'm in love with Yumi's voice...I mean Scarlett
I really regretted that I was unable to attend your premiere in Shanghai. Thanks for making this available! Do you plan any other show in Shanghai during the summer?
