      The dark beauty in the vulgar

      The first black-and-white shot at the beginning has already brought me closer to this story with a very different style. frank. I like this style. love it. Whether it's the focal point of the lens or the angle at which the lens is swiped. And all the visuals. tone. The most special movie. detail scene. Even the things around me can be so unbelievably integrated with that kind of plot. I think. I'm falling in love with Wong Kar Wai's shot. That was simply too miraculous. Incredible. Decadence...

      loneliness is redemption

      I don't know how long it has been.

      Always remember.

      I remember going out late at night, cycling alone to the city, ordering a fast food, and eating in the middle of a fast food restaurant where I was the only customer, only the waiter put the surrounding chairs on the table one after another. The loneliness at that time was deeply rooted, unbearable and unavoidable.

      At that time, I remembered the fallen angels because of consolation. I am reminded of Wong Kar-wai's peculiar...

      who broke your last line of defense

      1. Beautiful partner

      (There is a difference)

      Unfamiliar and beautiful, lonely and enthusiastic partners, meet in different time and space: the first Finland Pavilion, Chongqing Hotel, Hong Kong Tea House, including subway exit, supermarket entrance. Together, or separately, (as if separated forever, but attached for life), they carry out this single task.

      In the Chongqing Hotel, the cramped room, the...

      Two spoons of partner three spoons of sugar, I love you but it doesn't taste right

      Brew coffee in a newly purchased milky white cup with a heart-shaped recessed side.
      Stirring with a warm yellow spoon, the first bite was unexpectedly sweet.
      Endure the boredom and drink it up.

      Classic Wong Kar Wai cut.
      Dropping even frames and keeping odd frames is a theory learned in film class.
      This film uses far more than Chongqing Forest.

      Yingyingchaochuo is just boring and lonely.
      Later you say they all have beautiful names.
      called an...

      【Move the shrimp, don't get emotional】

      The relationship between "Fallen Angels" and "Chongqing Forest" is like half-brothers. Jin Chengwu plays another character, and

      his name is still He Zhiwu. "Fallen Angel" starring Li Jiaxin, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Cai Ni Yang, Karen Mok.

       

       The plot is -

      Angel 1 (Dawn) is lazy, so choose to be a killer who doesn't need to worry about time, place, and who the hell is. Angel No. 2 (Li Jiaxin) is very glamorous. She is the line of No. 1. She likes to go out at...

      That day, that night, that minute, I felt very warm. Deep down, Wong Kar Wai is still a man who loves his family (Cancer man). He is also very hardworking to implant Chongqing Forest in the True Story of Ah Fei. The laugh is automatic. Turned down to the point where I laughed wildly when I heard "paying the electricity bill", but I felt deeply lonely after reading...

      【Exhibition at China Film Archive】Companion to "Chongqing Forest". There are many elements that intersect with each other. The angle of the father-son family drama is very unique. The female characters Li Jiaxin, Yang Caini and Karen Mok not only showed amazing appearances, but also gave wonderful performances of madness and infatuation. I feel that the photography in this play is overwhelming, and the changing styles are shocking and just right. Much better than script, editing and music. The...

      Continuing the Chongqing Forest, such films will not expire, and there will be more characters in the story, so Wong Kar-wai and Double Photography have played with various techniques and images too high. Compared with Li's cool and crazy Li's masturbation, Takeshi Kaneshiro is simply too good, and his humorous, tragic and affectionate interpretations are so good that his father Braided Man and Yang's infatuation are amazing. The existence of human beings in the urban space is like a ghostly...

      I guess Du Kefeng didn't know the plot very well, so he was watching like an urchin on the side, looking at A and then at B. This unfamiliar and tender photography fits perfectly into the film. The last shot, the tunnel - a puff of smoke - blue sky,...

    Movie plot

    Angel number 1 ( dawn ) is a lazy guy who likes someone to arrange everything, he's a killer because he doesn't have to worry about the time, place, and who the hell is. His work was arranged by No. 2 ( Michele Monique Reis ) . Angel No. 2 is charming and indifferent, and likes to go out at night to clean the room for No. 1, and stare at the garbage left by No. 1 in a daze. The two never met.
    Angel No. 3 ( Takeshi Kaneshiro ) ate an...

    Evaluation action

    The film calmly looks at a special group in urban life, and uses beautiful images to show their broken lives. At the same time, the film also has a caring temperament. (Sohu Entertainment Review) 
    The sense of alienation between people that Wong Kar-wai has always been concerned about comes to the fore in "Fallen Angels". In order to highlight this effect, the ultra-wide-angle lens is used in photography, so that the distance between...

    Movie quotes

    • Wong Chi-Ming: I often wonder if any insurance company would insure a professional killer. I'd really like to help him out, but I wouldn't know whom to name as beneficiary.

    • The Killer's Agent: Going through a person's trash can tell you a lot about them.

    • He Zhiwu: I was very talkative when I was small. But at age five, I ate a can of pineapple that had expired, and I stopped talking. For that reason, I have very few friends.

      He Zhiwu: I found it very hard to find work too. I finally decided to be my own boss. Having no capital, the only thing I can do is sneak into other people's shops after hours and run my own business. I'm not a freeloader. I just think it makes sense, since the rent's already been paid, to run the business around the clock.

      He Zhiwu: Who says nobody buys pork at 3:00 a.m.? I came yesterday to buy some, didn't I? If you want to do business, you have to take each customer's needs into account.

      He Zhiwu: Buddha said, "If I don't descend into hell, who will?" When you're the boss, you have to be kind, caring and tolerant. You can't just look to your own gain. I know very well there's no such thing as a free lunch, so I always work very hard until the wee hours.

      He Zhiwu: I don't make a lot of money, but I'm happy.
