I was very energetic today. I was wearing slippers and kicking my feet. I went to Hong Kong with a friend to watch Ang Lee's new film Taking Woodstock. The Hong Kong translation was Husto Storm, and the mainland translation was Making Woodstock Music Festival. I'm afraid you can't understand it. It looks like a refrigerator manual, but please rest assured that it is impossible for you to see the mainland translation. Someone decides what can and cannot be read for us. Just like "Lust and Caution", you can only read the eunuch version in the mainland. By the way, when was the last time you went to see a movie in Hong Kong? After work, I went to see Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" adult version. "Lust and Caution" is the only movie I've seen twice in the cinema in my life. Conclusion: It's still the eunuch version. It's good to think and rack your brains, after all, I'm a reader, and readers like puzzles, I guess, I guess I guess.
Take the subway to Futian Port, fill in the health form, pass the customs, transfer to the MTR, come up from Kowloon Tong, and go to Festival Walk. When I looked at the screening time, there were only two shows. It was past eleven, and there were only five forty, which was too late. Moved to the Broadway Cinema in Mong Kok, no. Check on the machine outside the cinema door, there is a 2:10 in Ifc in Central. Get off the subway and hit Central. After buying the ticket, there are 15 minutes left. It was only the two of us who went to the cinema for a long time. I said to my friend: Do we have a private room today? Before the performance, a few came in one after another. My old eyes counted, and there were 7 of us, four yellow and three white. Cinemas in Hong Kong have always been running at full capacity to release air-conditioning. Once, I was forced to cool off from the inside. Fortunately, this time I came prepared and brought an autumn coat. Looking around, I was very worried and said: I don't know if the electricity bill of the cinema can be recovered. A ticket is 75 yuan. A friend said: I definitely won't get it back. When the time is up, the show starts, and the advertisements, we are very patient and even relish. Since we can't even earn electricity bills, the cinema must insist on showing them. As a reasonable audience, we should appreciate the advertisements with gratitude.
This movie is really worth 75 yuan.
It's easy and fun. There is a supporting role in it, it seems to be called Groff, with long curly hair. His eyes are like blue water, clear as a wash, and his heart will melt when he looks at him. This is the dissolving power of beauty. I figured out the meaning of the golden boy in Chinese, but unfortunately there is no jade girl in the movie. The name of this film should be translated as "My Woodstock", because it is a completely personal perspective. The Woodstock Music Festival in the eyes of the protagonist Tober, his life has changed because of this, from a passive good boy to a confident to pursue your own life. Of course all generalizations are stupid, too many feelings you can only experience in the cinema. The actors who play mother and father are super good. It turns out that Americans are just like the Chinese. They are unwilling to change bed sheets frequently in order to save laundry detergent. When there are many guests, they will sit on the ground and raise the price. Three rooms. Will also be stingy and secretly save a lot of money instead of putting it in the bank and hiding it in the closet, stacking stacks of cash.
People are of the same mind.
Perhaps the most repeated word in the film is freedom. free free free is always this pronunciation. Tober took psychedelics and stood on the hill. In the hallucination, he overlooked the people undulating like waves. The colors splashed and melted, and the tears flowed quietly. I think his subtext was: people, I love you. Ang Lee never stutters in storytelling, and the details are agile and profound. This is beyond the reach of mainland directors. The most important thing is that all his stories have one thing, tolerance and compassion. With this fulcrum, it is the story of man. Just like the windmill on the tricycle in Lust and Caution.
When I came back from Hong Kong and got off the subway, it was a coincidence that I met a friend who I hadn't seen for a long time, and was about to watch "The Great Cause of Founding of the People's Republic of China" with my lover. And laugh at me: Is it necessary to go to Hong Kong to watch a movie? Haha is so necessary, Wang Xiaobo told us in "A Maverick Pig": Free choice is happiness. A friend said with emotion that he watched a good movie called "The Wind" not long ago and received a patriotic education. I said you went to the cinema to get an education? He said yes, the audience still cried when watching this movie. When I asked what he was doing, he replied: Underground Party. Oh
