      forever Alfie

      (This article was first published on "Sao Ke Literary Art" and cannot be reproduced without permission)

      After Zhang Ailing's death, there was a box of video tapes, which was "The True Story of Ah Fei" sent by Wong Kar-wai.

      The videotape has not been opened, and according to her letter to Wong Kar-wai two months before her death, "I am very glad that you are interested in the filming of "Half a Lifetime"... You do not know how to operate a projector, and mistakenly thought it...

      Personal Biography Over Plot

      "The True Story of Ah Fei" has an extraordinary shot, and it is hard to imagine that this is only the second work of WKW. If the debut film "Carmen Mong Kok" is still a relatively traditional and atypical Hong Kong film, then "The True Story of A Fei" two years later has completed a major style change in all aspects.

              "Mong Kok Carmen" is closer to the more mature gangster movies at that time, but the gangster plot is relatively weakened and integrated into the emotional line....

      Past and present life in Wong Kar Wai's films

      The movie review is over word count, so I'll type some words.

      In the 1960s, Xunzi (Leslie Cheung) was abandoned by his biological mother, and his mother entrusted him to a courtesan to support him. One day the courtesan misrepresented his birth mother, and Xunzai was always brooding. It was painful that his birth mother did not want him, and he also felt bad for him. Hate that the adoptive mother, who was a courtesan, kept it from him. He compares himself to a bird...

      Far-fetched in and out of the play: Maggie Cheung's introverted and reserved, Carina Lau's daring to love and hate, and Liu won people as expected. Leslie Cheung said to Andy Lau that there will be a chance to watch me fly, so don't feel inferior at that time. Jacky Cheung's role is just as obsessive as Carina...

      With his unique photography and concise and straightforward lines, Wong Kar-wai has formed his own unique literary and artistic temperament, and has drawn a portrait of the world full of loneliness and misery. People are like this, immersed in their own puddles of bitterness, loving, vengeful, rebellious, and would rather drown than lift their heads and breathe until they touch the ground like a bird without feet. Youdao is the most miserable person in the world, and he still does not regret...
