This is one page of the leaflet that introducing the film "2 become 1" (play by mirriam and Richie), the film is talking about mirriam discovered she has breast cancer in a sudden, in what ways she would face her diseases, and how she would hall in love with Richie..

I am not going to talk about the story, what make me curious is that the leaflets posted above.. let me make a little (really little)translation over this. The 4 words in the middle is a question asking "Do you mind?"...and 7 positive responds made by 7 male pop stars are posted. They all accept this and think that breast cancer is not that matters to them.

Let's see, what is present? what is absent?
presence: all male; 7 popolar, young, handsome men...
absence: female; different age group; people who suffer from cancer; disabled.....

PATRIARCHY? It showed that what a male think is really matter to women, woman as appendage to man, why the suffered women should/would get consolation after reading this?
"oh~it's okay~ as Andy Lau said that breast cancer is not really matter~" or "yeah~even eason chan do not mind girls who only have one breast..."
Male dominant, women need to consider THEIR opinion when WE have breast disease? Besides, male can suffer from breast cancer too (though it is really rare), why not interview women?

HOMOPHOBIC? well this film is talking about love affairs, so the interviewees may stand for "partners of women"...it is focusing on heterosexual only, how about homosexuals?

The absence may sometime reflects more...
The minority groups are always be ignored...
This piece of leaflets showed the mainstream in some extents..
