At the beginning, I really wanted to turn off the screen and look for another movie to watch, but it was like being poisoned, and I felt that it was a pity that it had already been turned on and off.
There's always something appealing and patient magic about this slow-moving film. It may be because they are obscure, and it is impossible to see what the director wants to say at a glance, so there is a perceptual ending that waits for the clues to be revealed one by one and then joins...

"The Best Time" is a film directed by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien and starring actors Shu Qi and Zhang Zhen. The film was released in 2005. It has many innovations in artistic and lyrical methods. The photography is exquisite, the music is beautiful, and the form and content are beautiful. It is a pleasing movie to watch. The theme of the film is love. Around love, the protagonists Shu Qi and Zhang Zhen have three different stories in different time and space. In the 1960s, Xiumei...

The Best Time/Three Time
Review: ★★★☆
Hou Hsiao-hsien's works in 2005, Hou Director's works are rarely disappointing, and this one is the same. This kind of delicate, unassuming and emotional work can only be seen in the films of a few Asian directors such as Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang, and its brilliance is absolutely no less than that of other state directors.
1. It's as beautiful
as today's night. After the sultry summer night has passed, the...

Yesterday, I watched Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Best Time" by myself again. I have introduced this movie before, mainly the song "Rain and Tears". I look at it again now, and suddenly feel that yes, those who meet will meet again.
I think if you can calm down and watch, it is best to be alone. You will like it on a rainy afternoon, or in the morning and evening. Because people live with memory. Hou Hsiao-hsien said that there are many auspicious feathers in life, which are indescribable,...

In the 1960s, the dream of love
belonged to Hou Hsiao-hsien's era.
wood texture
rain and tears
writing letters with pen
no car no phone.
He served in the military, and
she went to billiards in various cities.
He took leave to find her.
she is not here.
Another city is not there either.
Yet another city.
Her white shirt and long skirt in the pool room.
His arrival made her smile like a flower.
There are still two hours...

Hou Hsiao-hsien's three-part love writing across time and space. The first paragraph (1966) is very similar in terms of scheduling, background and emotional expression. The billiard room becomes the real third protagonist, capturing the soul. Opening the letter and reading the letter (the off-screen soundtrack mentioned in the letter plays every time I finish reading, the English old song is too nostalgic), eagerly searching (a montage of town signs), the relief of encounter, the speechless...

Sometimes I wonder, has Hou Hsiao-hsien finished filming everything that an Oriental director can do? History, present, emotion, the best times across our lives. And when you're immersed in it, you can't tell whether it's good or bad. He not only wanted to photograph the ethereal mood of young people, but also expressed it in a different way, so the same pair of actors performed three stories—love, freedom, and youth. They were not arranged in strict chronological order, but they were like a...
