      Makes me cry without tears

      Movies like "Bai Lan" are mixed with dark elements such as gangsters, violence, blood, death, etc., and also have warm plots such as fresh, plain, quiet, touching, and almost perfectly combine the two in the same film. In the movie, it is very rare. As an old film, I still use the way of telling the plot to describe the feeling of this film. The story is interpreted in a montage way, with two parallel clues advancing at the same time, and the last two clues are combined into one. This method is...

      several senses

      Watching the part that will cry, is the helpless and tenacious weak woman performed by Cecilia Cheung. In that environment, she can only rely on the emotion of the nominal husband in the small photo. It is a monologue every time. , Her infatuation, bitterness and tears make people cry.
      Second, the frustrated life of the half-hearted middle-aged second-rate is well-acted; the phrase "Why do people live" is the finishing touch.
      At that time, Cecilia Cheung was really beautiful, and her...

      fragrant flowers

      Bailan flowers are very fragrant. It was faint, as if it came from a far away place. Because the flowers of Bailan are white with a little yellow in them, and the fragrance is quiet, it gives people a very elegant feeling.

      The name of the movie "Prince" matches the plot.

      Just like the name Bai Lan. I have never been blinded, but I felt her presence through that quiet fragrance.

      Korean movies will have a strong human touch. Unlike domestic movies, they are all the...

      I like realistic movies

      Looking at the cover, at first I thought it would be an inspirational love movie similar to the King of Comedy, but as a result, there was none of the sweet scenes that I envisioned at first, and the two didn't even have a chance to talk. The sweetest thing was just when Bai Lan first went. Li Jiangqi glanced at him and gave him a scarf that the guy said was ugly. Then Bai Lan went to see him at Li Jiangqi's video store after he fell ill. Standing at the door, he practiced...

      It's a very touching story. The male protagonist's role is obviously heavy. The first half an hour is spare, so I should tell more about Bai Lan. Four stars to Cecilia...

      It is novel that the male protagonist and the female protagonist never said a word from beginning to end. The ending is good, completely...
