'None of them have sex with someone they love'

"Fallen Angels" is a movie that can feel depressing in the process of watching.

The deformed face in the ultra-wide-angle lens, the strong and dusty color tone, gives people a messy surroundings, and everything is degenerate.

The people in the film always show a sense of powerlessness about life. Because it is powerless, it is simply meaningless. So they are all immersed in their own world, indifferent to everything around them, full of alienation.

The most impressive thing should be Li Jiaxin's sickly empty eyes.

As the killer's partner, her job is to arrange tasks and steps for the killer. She didn't give a damn about every life that disappeared through her hands indirectly.

Such a seemingly cold-blooded she fell in love with Killer Dawn.

Dawn engaged in the profession of a killer just because he was "a very lazy person and likes others to decide everything for himself". He has worked with Li Jiaxin for 155 weeks, but they rarely meet each other and only rely on pagers to communicate.

There is more than a partnership between them. Li Jiaxin will help Liming clean up the room, check the trash he throws away, smoke his leftover cigarettes, and go to the bars he often goes to; and Liming deliberately leaves clues to her every time.

They are close and distant, longing for each other but choosing to isolate themselves, rejecting love under the sign that "the best partner should not have feelings".

Li Jiaxin ordered a song "Forget Him" ​​for Li Jiaxin, rejected her feelings, and turned to invest in a relationship without any burden.

When he and Karen Mok kissed passionately, on the other side, Li Jiaxin was masturbating on the bed he had been lying on, crying.

For love, Li Jiaxin is powerless. She let him refuse, let him disappear, but she won't help anyone make sheets, or check the rubbish left by others, she will only feel the warmth of a minute in the back seat of the motorcycle.

And the other two girls, Karen Mok and Yang Cai Ni, appeared almost insane.

Karen Mok will be madly happy when she sees the rain, dye her hair golden, and leave tooth marks on the hands of her loved ones, just to prevent others from forgetting her so quickly.

But she couldn't keep the one she loved.

The broken-hearted Yang Caini is hysterical and crazy, nervously looking for a rival in love, and let Takeshi Kaneshiro, who met briefly, accompany her to heal her emotional wounds.

After the emotional injury, she became polite and did not remember the previous madness or Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Takeshi Kaneshiro's character is my favorite character in the film. He turned into a speechless Angel No. 3. He had no fixed occupation and only liked to break into other people's closed stores at night to do business.

Because of his aphasia, he could only communicate with people forcibly, which was a bit comical.

For example, forcing others to do laundry, forcibly pressing others to wash their hair, forcing others to eat ice cream, forcing others to buy eggplants, and giving a dead pig a Thai massage.

He likes to pass people by, just to "get sparks" with others, and he will not hesitate to wipe his head and blood.

But no one understood that his strong buying and selling only stemmed from the desire to communicate with people. It was the same when he met his first love again. He made a series of nonsensical actions behind Yang Caini, in fact, he just wanted to attract her attention.

Takeshi Kaneshiro has an optimism that others do not have, and he does everything to make himself happy. Yang Caini didn't mind that he forgot about him, but teased himself, "Maybe I've become too handsome."

But being too optimistic is actually the same as being powerless. The death of my father is the same as being forgotten by my first love.

In the end, he drove Li Jiaxin on the road. He knew that he would not become a confidant with her, but it did not prevent them from feeling the warmth for a minute together. It just so happened that the other party thought so too.

Two people who have lost love are also suitable for hugging each other for warmth. Even if they don't love each other.

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.
