I heard a lot about this movie before, about Li Jiaxin's acting skills, and about Li Jiaxin's opening. Because I couldn't find the movie, I could only find the lines of the whole book. I read the text and imagined it. Wong Kar-wai's shot behind this passage, although most of the lines are typical Wong's narration, but I am a little bit bored...
The movie is similar to what I imagined, it is still two stories intertwined, and the two are very exaggerated. The two different life states intersect with each other. The essence of the two different states is actually the same. They are all about some kind of lack behind the brilliance of the city, about feelings, and about human nature.
Killer Li lives a life arranged for him by others, and his only gratification is that he doesn't need to make his own decisions. It is his partner who arranges who is going to die, but when his partner loves him, he has to make his own decisions. Decision, this decision is the song "Forget Him" on the jukebox. Maybe the fallen angel likes a free life. He failed to prepare for a true love. When he was ambiguous and tender with another woman (Mok Wenwei), Li Jiaxin, who must "forget him", is masturbating on his bed. At this moment, an angel is even more confused and helpless. Her choices are all degenerate. When she orgasms and moans, it is full of cover up. She hopes to hide her loneliness and pain, but What can't be concealed are the tears... At this time, the killer Li is so cold that people can't touch him, including Karen Mok, who is also in love with him, and a wandering hornless bird that only goes to the ground when he dies. In the end he did one last time for her and failed to come back...
On the side of the blurred killer, He Zhiwu appeared again, the number is still 223, but this time it is the number of the prison, and because he ate an expired can of pineapple, he can't speak since then... (This undoubtedly reminds me of "Chongqing Forest". That He Zhiwu, and the story of "Fallen Angels" happens to be the unfinished third story in "Chongqing Forest", is this a certain metaphor? I can't figure it out.) Because he can't speak, he can only Forced to achieve his will with actions, this is the origin of the prison number, forced to help people do laundry, sell vegetables, shampoo, sell ice cream, he always secretly opens other people's closed stores, doing what he doesn't need Cost business, at this time, he is naive, just a stubborn idea, and will not think about other things, knowing that his first love is coming, and his first lovelorn, and seeing his father He woke up in the middle of the night and watched the videotape he made. At this time, his depraved life seemed to be coming to an end, but his father died soon again. He was still very confused about his life alone...
At the end of the story, He Zhiwu and Li Jiaxin were there. When they met at a noodle restaurant, He Zhiwu was beaten, Li Jiaxin ate the noodles as if nothing had happened, and he sent her back. On the street without people at night, two wandering souls gathered together and experienced the warmth of that moment...
He said: Every day , you will pass many people who may become your friends or
confidants. So I never pass up the chance to brush my shoulders with anyone. Sometimes I make my head smashed
, let him be! Just be happy. That night, I saw that woman again, and I knew I might not
be confidants or friends with her. Because we had so many opportunities to pass by, the clothes were all torn and
no sparks were seen. I don't know if it was because of the weather, but that night, I thought she was very kind.
She said: When I left, I asked him to take me home. I haven't been on a motorcycle for a
long time, and I haven't tried to get this close to a person in a long time, although I know the road is not very far. I know I
'll be off the bus soon. However, this minute, I feel so warm.
The story ends.
The picture of the movie is the same as that of "Chongqing Forest". A large number of chase shots are directly followed and shot, while many other shots are swaying. Coupled with the urban neon light, the picture really has a blurred feeling. I like this method, and the performance of cleaning is very tense. This seems to be the characteristic of Wong Kar-wai. I remember that his first theoretical film "Carmen Mong Kok" has been widely used, but when it comes to "2046", I feel that There is a kind of lack, not the maturity of the camera control, but the feeling that it has aged a lot and has become calm... This may be my blind thinking, maybe it is because I don't like "2046".
In terms of acting skills, Liming is indeed a big breakthrough. Maybe the actor needs the development of the director. I have always liked his roles, such as Li Xiaojun in "Sweet Honey", Yang Jinrong in "Infernal Affairs 3".. . And of course this killer. When I heard a lot of doubts about Li Jiaxin's acting skills, I didn't have much opinion. I felt that the performance was okay. It may be a strange mentality of everyone. For example, Lin Zhiling was asked to act. The same, is a subjective nonsense!
Being able to find this movie is indeed a wish in my heart, and this movie did not disappoint me, but I still owe a "Blueberry Night" starring my favorite norah jones. I hope I can find it soon.. ....
