After making up my mind to watch this movie, I had to mention a friend. Once we chatted about this movie, I know what he said, the characters in it, Tony Leung is like a diaosi, and Leslie Cheung is like a goddess. You can totally see him as a love story between a diaosi and a goddess.
Then go back to the movie
"Lai Yaohui, why don't we start over."
"Lai Yaohui, why don't we start over."
One is the Cantonese original sound, and the other is the Mandarin version. There is a difference between starting over and starting over, in my opinion. Maybe you are walking on a road, you may have reached the end of the road, and when you have to choose, starting over means re-travelling this road, nothing has changed, just walking again; and starting anew, but choosing a new A way to leave the past behind. In many things, "new" is still less lethal than "old". As a result, the Cantonese version of the lines appeared more lethal, so that this sentence became Ho Baorong's trump card against Li Yaohui.
The relationship between the two people in the movie is also very delicate. I always thought that Leung Chiu Wai, who was like a slack in the movie, was at a disadvantage, while He Baorong, played by Leslie Cheung, fully grasped the initiative. In the film, He Baorong only came to Li Yaohui after every time he was bruised and bruised, and Li Yaohui began to take care of him. The most typical episode is that He Baorong was so seriously injured that he couldn't even take care of himself. Li Yaohui could only feed him and rub his back for a bath. But Li Yaohui was the happiest these days, because that person could be obedient. I will stay by his side, and I won't go out and fool around again. So Li was happier and worked hard to earn money every day, and looked forward to going back to see him every day.
One day, Rong's illness was cured. Rong began to dress so handsomely that he went out to buy cigarettes and go out to hook up. Hui knew that Rong was back to normal, so it didn't take long for them to break up again.
So far, it seems that Hui is still the most lovable person. Next, in this breakup, Hui, with the help of his friend played by Zhang Zhen, survived this difficult but fast summer. In order to earn more money to return to Hong Kong, he was transferred to work at the killing field, working at night and resting during the day. The original line in the film is "In addition to the high salary, the time is also very suitable for me. I sleep during the day and go to work at night, and I am back to Hong Kong time" (they are located in Buenos Aires and Hong Kong happen to be on opposite sides of the world).
In the second half of the film, Rong returns to the house where Hui lives, but Hui is not there. Rong began to patiently follow Hui's habit of putting away the cigarettes he bought, making the bed, mopping the floor, and then patiently waiting for Hui to return after everything returned to normal. For the next scene, he didn't know how long Rong had been waiting, but he slowly realized that Hui would not come back, so with the last still picture above, Rong cried, crying to the core. Hui at this time. . . . . .
He had saved enough money and was already in a hotel in Taipei, ready to return to Hong Kong the next day. Finally, at the night market in Taipei, he met Xiao Zhang's parents, played by Zhang Zhen, "I finally understand the reason why he can happily look around outside, because he knows there is a place for him to go back." Rong Bu Is that the case, why Hui can't think of it.
In your world, are you Li Yaohui or He Baorong?
Is it happier to be Li Yaohui or happier to be He Baorong? . . . . .
