Wong Kar Wai. After "Blueberry Night" I rarely think of his name again. When the so-called East Evil and West Poison final version was released. more conflicted.
But it is undeniable that these four films have been stored in my computer. "Evil in the East", "The True Story of A Fei", "Carmen in Mong Kok", "Chongqing Forest".
I can tell you. I was too young. Because it is too young. Always too ignorant.
When "Chongqing Forest" was released, I was still an elementary school student who knew nothing. fourth grade. Watch with my cousin. I remember at the time, my sister was in a state of euphoria and her cheeks were flushed. And I don't understand. Throughout the film, I sat in the movie theater with my eyes wide open, and then I ate Plum, wondering what the relationship between Chongqing and the forest had. The image is a shaking shot of a woman wearing a wig and sunglasses, with thick powder on her face and bright red lips. There is also a girl with short hair wearing a black vest. Listen to music every day. Shaking his head. This is the initial impression. What about Brigitte Lin, Jin Chengwu, Liang Chaowei, Faye Wong and the like. I can tell you very clearly that the only person I know is Brigitte Lin. And totally confused by her character. What do you think. Do you expect a 10-year-old baby to understand Wong Kar Wai? I don't count on it anyway.
Later in junior high school. Hopelessly in love with those so-called youth novels. Moaning and the like. You know. I am born in the 80s. Except for reading the basic and necessary literary masterpieces and the like, the rest are these. Of course, there are new concept compositions and so on. These articles refer to Wong Kar-wai repeatedly. Mention the man who kept eating canned pineapples. Bring up the female killer in high heels. Bring up the talking constable 633. Bring up the shaking waitress Afi. I tried to think back and try to match these characters one by one. Then there was a sudden realization. But too long. It was already blurry. what. But it was an era of extraordinary scarcity. Because of the pressure to go to school. out of reach. Been thinking about it all the time.
How long after that. How long has it been. I finally saw the Chongqing Forest again.
is high school. Get ill. lying at home. Turn on the TV. All the plots match.
When I heard the California dream, I had the illusion of a lifetime.
The whole high school was my obsession with Faye Wong for three years. Chungking Express is my favorite movie in high school.
Later, in my third year of high school, I had the same hairstyle as Faye Wong. short hair. Try to get closer to my imaginary character. It's just that it's winter. I looked bloated in a thick black down jacket. The face is tacky and blurry. Of course, there is no way to get along with the slender Affibby who is wearing a black vest. Her facial features are so clear.
Back then, I rode my bike to school every day, and the CD had California Dreams on it. The winter of my senior year in high school seemed particularly cold. Because I always feel the pain in my ears when I ride a bike.
Chongqing Forest. Faye Wong with short hair. I have short hair. California Dream.
after college. Crazy watching movies, reading books, listening to songs and buying CDs. As if to make up for everything that was lacking in the middle school years. 160G hard drive. Deleted save. Saved and deleted. Movies that have not been deleted include Chongqing Forest, of course.
And then. It is now. I haven't watched Chongqing Forest for a long time. When the final version of East Evil West Poison was released. My short hair has also grown longer. If you stay here then. How long your hair already is. how long. It's just that A Fei's short hair in the Chongqing Forest seems to have become some kind of image in my heart that makes me addicted and trying to get close.
I often say, cut my hair short again, and start saving money if I want to be like A Fei in the Chongqing Forest. Or not going to California at all. But any distance will do. Plug in your headphones while on the road and listen to California Dreams.
You can just say it when I say it.
When A Fei went to 633's house. Changed towels, soaps, sheets and tablecloths. Replaced the doll with Garfield. Changed cans. Changed the record of the 633CD player. Bought goldfish. I bought a plaid shirt and put it in 633's wardrobe-----so I suddenly remembered, I used to secretly use your account, log in to your school, secretly observe the people around you, and change the background music of your page to California Dream.
There are many things like this. Quietly approach your life. Quiet. Observe in the dark. It's ridiculous to think about it now.
Probably I've been imitating the plot like this in the movie. imitate the attitude of others. hairstyle. dressing. even the love of others.
Alfie ended up going to California.
If I want to follow suit.
So where to go. How far are you going?
But even if you don't follow suit. I'm also thinking about getting away.
There is no other way but to stay away.
