We are all fallen angels

I'm sitting in front of a monitor watching a story that happened in Hong Kong in 1995, and now it's a night in 2006, in a bedroom in Beijing.
The story also opens in a bedroom, a killer's bedroom. A woman named Li Jiaxin comes every week to clean the room for a killer named Dawn. Not only that, but she also contacts the business for him, and according to them, they are the best gear. But they hadn't seen each other in years. According to him, it was to avoid having feelings for the best gear. He deliberately left a lot of clues for her, according to Dawn, in order to let the best gear get to know each other. He clearly knew that she was lusting after him, or that he secretly encouraged her desire to spread. She was hopelessly infatuated with him, but she couldn't get him, so she could only rummage through his rubbish, lying on his bed alone and masturbating. According to Li Jiaxin, she is a very realistic person who knows how to make herself happy.


To be honest, I don't think there is anything special about Li Jiaxin's beauty at all, but when I watch the so-called most beautiful woman in Hong Kong elegantly curled up with long legs wrapped in sexy black fishnet stockings lying alone on the bed at dawn Moaning endlessly, I finally understood what a wretched and lonely heart this director hiding behind the camera had. In the end is it because of wretchedness to become lonely, or because of loneliness to become wretched?


I don't like this pair of best gears. The man takes it for granted that he is invincible. Every time he shoots each other at close range, the barrel is almost touching his upper body. The woman will only sniff the filthy waste like a dog after the man leaves, sniff the smell, drool for a while, then wipe herself clean and go back to the bar, pretending to be cool and glamorous, she is a master of serious desire and dissatisfaction Son. One of them lived too much like a young child Xiaolongnu, and the other lived too much like a rotten adult Gongsunzhi.


What I like is Takeshi Kaneshiro, a teenager with ADHD who stopped talking at the age of five because he ate expired canned pineapples. My laughter scrambled out as he sneaked into the butcher's shop late at night to give a Thai massage to a dead pig with all his might. Some people say that his forehead is too short and looks weird from the front when he is expressionless, but he has one of the sweetest smiles in the world. When his slender eyes are narrowed, the corners of his mouth are curved in a lovely arc, and even a few snow-white teeth are exposed, I can taste the taste of vanilla ice cream. He really is a child who likes to eat ice cream. Not only does he like it, but he also insists that passers-by bring a family of young and old downstairs to eat with him in the middle of the night. Seeing the old-fashioned grandpa sitting obediently with his family, like his little grandson, licking the cones, was really unbearable. If Takeshi Kaneshiro does everything in the nature of forcibly selling, then he is forcibly selling the happiness that falls from the sky to people with mediocre lives! A family driving down the road late at night in his ice cream truck will remember in a few years how sweet the night was with the smell of vanilla in the air.


In the story, Yang Caini is an abandoned mad woman. She wears pigtails and is strong on the outside and hard on the inside. Fortunately, she met Takeshi Kaneshiro. So, he kept handing over change when she called her rival in question, let her lean on her shoulder when she was heartbroken, and accompany her to find her rival in units one floor after another when she was angry, fighting melee, and when she was lonely and lonely Take her to watch the ball game in a speed car. My favorite scene in the whole story is the black and white footage of Takeshi Kaneshiro and Cai Ni Yang sitting in front of the bar listening to JAZZ. The haggard mother-in-law Yang Caini was the first love of this dumb boy. Because she was always looking for a woman named Jin Maoling, he inexplicably grew several strands of Russian blond hair, but after the lovelorn, the blond hair disappeared.

Ever since Karen Mok appeared, the disc started to jam, maybe the CD-ROM was frightened by her exaggerated blond curly hair and stuttered. Wong Kar-wai seems to like antique Barbie dolls, as does Brigitte Lin from "Chongqing Forest" with the same hairstyle.
The broken-hearted Karen Mok met the dawn of a strike at McDonald's and got into his jacket to hide from the rain. Throughout the whole play, she kept screaming and screaming for no reason, crying, crying, laughing and laughing unpredictably. I like Karen Mok for the first time, and I think her voice is so noisy and her hairstyle is ugly, annoying and pitiful. It's not that she doesn't know that she is annoying and pitiful, but she can't calm herself down, because once she calms down, she will collapse like a sand sculpture. However, she once had Dawn, which is ten million times better than Li Jiaxin, who has never had Dawn. She has beautiful legs that are very eye-catching, and Liming also becomes a little handsome when she is with her. Later, she met Li Jiaxin on the road, and they recognized their rivals at a glance, because they both wore the same brand of perfume as Li Ming. Karen Mok arranged for Li Jiaxin to meet Li Jiaxin, and then, what she was worried about happened, Li Liming left her. But Liming didn't want to be with Li Jiaxin, he just sold her a favor very stupidly, and finally cooperated in a business. Inevitably, he died. If Li Jiaxin can't get him, he will destroy him. Awarded the most wretched and uncreative award to the director again.

The optical drive moved forward step by step with difficulty, and finally stopped at the picture of Li Jiaxin eating noodles alone in a restaurant and could no longer move.


Later, I found the end of the story on the Internet. Yang Cai Ni became a flight attendant and no longer recognized Takeshi Kaneshiro. Jin Chengwu, who was beaten up, met Li Jiaxin, who was alone, and they warmed each other briefly.
Everyone in this story is lonely, some people's loneliness is cold, and some people's loneliness is warm, such as Takeshi Kaneshiro, a teenager with ADHD. His unsightly videotape made his father pass away with warmth and accompanied him through the first night of his life alone. I believe he is happy even when he is alone.
Everyone in this story is abnormal, but how many normal people are there? How many people are normal on the surface and abnormal on the inside? Wong Kar Wai is a very unusual one. Most of the people in his films don't know how to be kind to the people around them, and they will only be too kind to strangers for no reason, developing this into a hobby. He likes to complicate things that are very simple, just like the advertiser who thinks that something should not be said properly, and it should be said in a roundabout way to be effective. He is lenient in calling people all angels, fallen flawed angels. So, dear angels, watch out for frost protection. Only angels who are willing to warm others will not let their hearts freeze.

Fallen Angels quotes

  • He Zhiwu: I was very talkative when I was small. But at age five, I ate a can of pineapple that had expired, and I stopped talking. For that reason, I have very few friends.

    He Zhiwu: I found it very hard to find work too. I finally decided to be my own boss. Having no capital, the only thing I can do is sneak into other people's shops after hours and run my own business. I'm not a freeloader. I just think it makes sense, since the rent's already been paid, to run the business around the clock.

    He Zhiwu: Who says nobody buys pork at 3:00 a.m.? I came yesterday to buy some, didn't I? If you want to do business, you have to take each customer's needs into account.

    He Zhiwu: Buddha said, "If I don't descend into hell, who will?" When you're the boss, you have to be kind, caring and tolerant. You can't just look to your own gain. I know very well there's no such thing as a free lunch, so I always work very hard until the wee hours.

    He Zhiwu: I don't make a lot of money, but I'm happy.

  • He Zhiwu: I love ice cream. When I was little, an ice cream truck would stop by my house every day. I was always happy to see it. Once I asked my dad why he didn't drive an ice cream truck. He didn't answer. I later found out my mother had been run over by an ice cream truck.
