      Suzhou River

      "If I leave one day, will you come back to me like a motor?"

      "Yes."

      "Will you keep looking?

      " "Yes."

      "Will you always find death?

      " "Yes."

      "You Lie."

            Zhou Xun's voice was low and hoarse, with a desolate taste in his voice, but in the last sentence, he slapped Buddha on the face, and he forgot the pain in shock.

            Actually, I wanted to write something about this movie for a long time. , But after all, I...

      Talking about Jia Hongsheng

      I feel that evaluating Jia Hongsheng in a certain film is always a bit cramped. You can ask how to evaluate Zhou Xun's performance, because she can let you take it out and comment on her role from a viewer's point of view, but for Jia Hongsheng, it seems that There is no way to look at him so calmly, especially in the movie "Suzhou River". His slightly sticky decadent quality blends perfectly with the feel of this film, making you a little bit indistinguishable from him and the character,...

      Suzhou River

      If I leave one day, will you look for me like a motor? Yes, will you keep looking? Yes, will you always find death? You lied, stories like this are only found in love stories, I don't believe it. I can't wait to write some thoughts about this love and suddenly don't know how to proceed. . . "Two people who have never met before, sat together, and then?...And then...of course it's love..." I like this sentence the most, a peculiar feeling, simplicity, it's all love of always. All love starts...

      Write to Suzhou River

      The rough graininess of the film, the icy narrative tone, the dim sky and the old green water of Suzhou River, coupled with the background sound that has never been described by exact adjectives, but calmly brought the story closer and pushed it again. far to the end of the world. Suzhou River, a river running through the long river of history, is full of stories and garbage. People living on and by the river have various stories happening every moment, and how many stories can be recorded by...

      Suzhou River is our Suzhou River, and the photographer who wrote these down is the real photographer

      I don't know what to say about this movie, probably he is my favorite Shanghai love story. Extensive use of narration, metaphors, contrasts and other techniques allows me to see both real and illusory Suzhou River. In 2000, there was a young man named Ma Ma, and in 2018 there was a young man named 22 Shi, do you remember? The ending of the movie also seems to imply the ending of the movie.

      "If I leave one day, will you look for me like a motor?" An infatuated motor, maybe such a story can only appear in fairy tales. . . Dirty and chaotic Suzhou River, people's infatuation, wish and...

      Touching love is always pretentious and illusory, and it can be called a fairy tale if it is far away from trivial life. This movie made Zhou Xun and I both fall in love with Jia Hongsheng. Jia Hongsheng's temperament with a certain self-destructive tendency is especially suitable for Lou Ye's movies, but this self-destructive tendency is useless to a person's real life....

      Shake and shake, but it's easy to get used to. The key is that it's really touching, whether it's Jia Hongsheng's eyes or Lou Ye's voice... Zhou Xun really looks like my younger sister, she was as smart as ten years ago....
