Maggie Cheung, you are so beautiful
Later, I decided to watch a less literary and less boring film, and I chose "China Box" among the piles of plates. The heroine is Aunt Gong Li, and the hero is the hero of "Lolita". The stepfather, Maggie Cheung, also plays a characterful young woman in the movie.
The director is the director of "The Joy Luck Club": Wang Ying. "The Joy Luck Club" is very famous. I haven't seen it, but I remember that there is a bar called The Joy Luck Club in Jinli.
Gong Li is...

cool in the middle of the night
When I watched this film, it belonged to the night of 33 degrees in Hangzhou. Indoor air conditioning, national legal: 26 degrees.
The film is about two crossed feelings in the context of the return of Hong Kong. Not like Hong Kong in 1997, like in the 1980s. Gong Li is more bloated, lighter and more beautiful. Maggie Cheung was wearing a beggar's clothes, her whole body was dirty, her hair was disheveled, and half of her face was scarred, but she still couldn't hide her clean...

complicated and not complicated
Mainly look at our uncle.
Old depressed old depressed old sad old sad look. nice!
Sister Gong Li is there, she is quite a literary and artistic vase, and her acting skills are good.
Maggiie is crazy inside.
As for the terrible political allegory symbolism in it. I really don't want to get into it.
But as an ignorant audience in the real age, this is a good opportunity to get to know each other.
Uncle is the representative of the British who left...

After reading the complete second time, in the middle, I felt that "China Box" with too strong political metaphor has a strange quirk of colonial aesthetics. Between politics and art, the line of elaboration of texts cannot be distinguished, which leads to doubts. This city is also like a soul with a hard life. All compromises or protests are for living. At the last-minute dance in 1996, what would John, dancing with Vivian, ask her if it wasn't interrupted by radicals who killed themselves...

"China Box" can be understood as the colonial mentality's reaction to the imminent loss of the colony that has occupied a century One point, the mentality of some British people working and living in Hong Kong will definitely not be as happy as the Chinese people. What are they thinking? The reporter John in "China Box" told me that he just wanted to die, he just wanted to die. So, the director gave him a box, a box that was slowly opened or closed from begin

Uncle Tie, I took more than 100 photos of Nima, and it's not bad. The familiar Hong Kong under the camera of that era reminds me of the mainland in the eyes of the West. It's so alien and ugly, but there are women who fascinate...

So obscure. . . I pretended to have no movies that I didn't understand. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't understand the director's logic and intentions. Maybe I was too stupid. ....

To actually let a British journalist take on the narrative of disease metaphors and Hong Kong anxiety is really Hong Kong's self-awareness in the bones. Blood cancer is about to die "I don't know who will leave first, but Hong Kong will not, it will only change". After learning that he was about to die, he was riding on the tram representing the old Hong Kong - the era of ending . An image that often appears in it, the dog running exhausted: Hong Kong's anxiety, the morbid deformity of...

The only movie where you can hear Maggie swearing, people in New York and this movie (well I don't remember if she said anything in the cleaning...), not to be missed. BTW I`d buy anything from you, Maggie, even the last gasp of colonial...
John: Money, money, money. That's all you hear.
John: Just a week ago all I wanted was to tell Vivian how much I loved her. But now I see that's the one thing I mustn't do. I can't offload my illness onto her, or Jim, or Mary and the kids. I don't want the look in their eyes to remind me I'm dying. I wonder if I can hold out longer than the British. Not that I could be described as an empire.
Party Guest: You were talking about democracy. Don't forget that Hong Kong never had democracy, and Hong Kong never asked for democracy, and didn't get it until 1984. But having been given it as a present, it might miss it if it's taken away again.
