Gorgeous hustle and bustle can only crash in the end

Forgive my ignorance and poor taste, I really can't appreciate such a movie. I was not someone who lived in that era and couldn't understand the madness of that era. Although I know that crazy era and their peculiar aesthetics from various documents, I really can't appreciate it. I am eager to understand the spirit of that era. Although I know that they were influenced by various elements such as the moon landing and space, I have never been able to understand it. It can only be said that the Japanese visual system is completely playing the rest of Europe.
Wilde's badge runs throughout the film, and the topic of homosexuality is a main thread of the film. Who is the prototype of the movie, I don't know much about the popular music of that era, so I had to rely on Du Niang to tell me. What's more interesting in the movie is the character of the reporter, who is from that era, and he's also gay. Although homosexuality may have been a popular thing in those days, I don't think all parents are so enlightened. In fact, in today's China, not all parents can accept homosexuality. The role of reporter developed from the 1970s to the 1980s. In fact, in this decade, he was the one who was really relieved. At least he was brave enough to accept his identity as a homosexual.
I can't say I like or hate the music in the whole movie. Or let me listen to music alone without watching movies, maybe I would like it more. I like Anita Mui's "Peerless Youth", which is actually somewhat similar to the music style of the movie. But watching the movie will be drawn to the plot and ignore the music, even though this is a biographical work of a pop singer. The tone of the whole movie runs through the psychedelic style of that era, including the colors at the beginning and end of the film, which are also very rich and colorful. Rose red was a favorite color in those days, and it looks timeless even now.
I didn't expect that Jonathan was so charming when he was young, and his long hair was so coquettish, he was the same as Leslie Cheung. I just have to sigh that he is now a lot of man. Now he is no longer my favorite, I like the freckled Mr. in "Les Miserables" even more. For the actor Ivan, I didn't expect him to appear in this kind of movie, and now I can't feel his literary atmosphere.
