紅魚、綸綸、牙膏、香港是騙徒四人組,一心夢想發大財。他們計畫拐騙法籍少女Marthe,將她賣給老鴇,怎料意外不斷,還有兩光黑道出來攪局,究竟四人能否人貫徹唯利無良的價值觀,完成發財夢想?《麻將》是「新臺北三部曲」的第二部曲,承襲《獨立時代》的喜劇風格,在誇飾的演員演出、令人眼花撩亂的鬧劇情節之餘,仍保有楊德昌對於世代、階級、群體之間衝突的犀利觀察。
「我之所以設計這個故事,最重要的是要這些孩子面對生死的問題。在懷疑的當兒,他的所有虛偽、自信會被瓦解。像戲中紅魚與顧寶明角色的一場confrontation很重要,如不去confront,人生沒有意義;而希望是建立在很單純的事上。 」——楊德昌
Red Fish, Lun-lun, Little Buddha, and Hong Kong are a goofy gang of swindlers with a dream of striking it rich. They plan to deceive the French girl Marthe and sell her to a brothel, but unexpected events derail their plans. Can the four individuals stay true to their unscrupulous values and fulfill their dreams of wealth? Mahjong, the second part of the New Taipei Trilogy, continues the comedic style established in A Confucian Confusion while retaining Edward Yang's astute observations on conflicts among generations, social classes, and communities.
"The core behind this story is for the characters to confront the existential question of life and death. While you begin to ask questions, all pretenses and self-assurance are shattered. Just like the crucial confrontation between the characters in the film, life loses its meaning without confrontation. And hope is actually built upon something very simple." —Edward Yang
