Jiang Wen's film was put in the first place, not to say that it is not good-looking (there is "The Godfather" and "The Flower Girl"), but the reason for not being impressed is not that it is missing something but cares more about it. Looking back again, I found that there was still a lot of "burden", but it didn't seem to shake it out. Just like the "Arhat" series, it has both stalk and spirit, but it disappeared out of thin air in the process of rapid stacking. It has to be said that it is a kind of cup.
Immediately think of his "The Sun Also Rises", isn't it the same?
The most impressive films are "Cigarette Lighting" and "The Old Man".
The most appropriate performance-----"Cigarette Lighting" In the
dark night, an elegant beauty borrowed fire from a man, and the moment the ignition was ignited, the eyes of the two met, but they passed by. The man felt the chemical change in his heart and didn't want to miss the opportunity. He turned around and confided his heart to the beautiful woman and offered her "attentiveness". I am a hooker, that's means people pay to have sex with me." What a classic irony! Especially for Ethan Hawke, who has acted in the "Before sunset" series, to perform it is even more predictable. He is also eloquent, he also believes in soulmate, and also hopes to seize the opportunity. Ethan's encounter this time can be said to be very different.
Also outstanding is the mixed-race beauty Maggie Q, who performed the heroine's graceful and charming energy, but it was uneven and just right. Personally, it reflects her acting skills.
As for the general sentimental view of Americans embodied here, I personally think that it is just like "ignition", enthusiastic and unrestrained. Unlike Orientals, there are too many restrictions and hidden taboos, too many unpredictable changes and involuntary reunions. A turn around, may have missed a lifetime.
The most touching part - "The Old Man"
is about a pair of twilight old people walking a few blocks on crutches to the beach to celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary. The nagging old lady was aggressive along the way, scolding her husband as she walked, but the old man refused to admit defeat and returned to the top with every sentence. They became more and more arguing, and when they were about to climb the stairs by the sea, the old lady even sarcastically said: 'A man killed his wife by climbing the stairs on their 63rd anniversary. ' (It is estimated that the old lady has a bad heart)
This pair of living treasures, their quarrel is no less than that of a young couple. I really don't know how they have survived these 63 years.
The turning point was that after they got to the deck, they looked at the boundless sea, the birds rose and fell, and all their troubles disappeared in an instant. The old lady let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out her hand timidly to hold the other party like a little girl, and put her head on the old man's shoulder with trembling and a little hesitation. She gave her an affectionate kiss on the forehead.
At this moment, the music sounded, the picture was frozen on their backs, and all the language became weightless and superfluous.
I can't help but think that maybe they met on this beach when they were young. There are their beautiful and romantic memories here, and they will come here to celebrate every year after that. In their long marriage, quarrels were commonplace, but they still persisted. This makes them a beautiful scenery on the road, making people envious and looking at themselves at the same time.
ps "Affair" is also very interesting, two strangers who are ambiguous and teasing each other outside turned out to be a couple, which is indeed unexpected. In addition, Shu Qi's performance in "The Painter" is also very natural, but she has a dazzling brilliance without wearing powder, which is a bright spot.
