At the end of the film, Takeshi Kaneshiro rode a motorcycle and smoked a cigarette, and Li Jiaxin in the back seat hugged him. This strange and familiar person, in this empty city, was all the way, and the two lonely souls seemed to get a moment's peace. Rest and warm.
This is the only heart-warming part of the film.
Sometimes I think about why we can't wander like in books or movies, to leave this city full of bullshit, why free souls are always bound in the shackles of the world, we even lose an ability to seek, why do we There is no "beat generation" in the middle looking for the meaning of life on the road, to find their own value. We always talk about dedication, and we are always forced by the society to transform into a kind of easier-to-manage person who silently dedicates his life in his own post, so it becomes without me. I became a screw, I became a machine. So it became an unstoppable confusion, and we didn’t even know who we were.
In the film, even if you are a cool-looking killer who is only responsible for killing people, you are just a tool in the huge social cycle, and you are just a small person living at the bottom. Does such a person have the right to choose? No, he can only continue to work like a machine. If you don't have the ability to work, you also lose the meaning of existence. That's the tragedy of the little people, even if you're a killer.
Little people are like this, they cry or laugh because of a videotape, they feel happy because they eat ice cream, they also look forward to love innocently, the carefree days will end one day, there will always be someone who protects you and takes care of you. One day I will take care of you, and one day you will grow up overnight and become an adult who can take care of yourself. You cannot hesitate or escape. You will eventually become that screw and survive insignificant. This is their life, generation after generation, without hope, but survived generation after generation.
I think one day when I grow up I'm leaving this city Please take me to wander

    He Zhiwu is too cute! I also want to say that Wang Jiawei is really good at training actors, and he can make a literary and artistic temperament in his hands. (Art director: Zhang Shuping; photography Du Kefeng; music Chen Xunqi.

Fallen Angels quotes

  • The Killer's Agent: There are some people you can never get close to. Get too close, and you'll find him boring.

  • Wong Chi-Ming: I often wonder if any insurance company would insure a professional killer. I'd really like to help him out, but I wouldn't know whom to name as beneficiary.
