still the black and white picture, the opening of the telephoto lens, or the seemingly shoddy plot, or that The phrase "let's start from scratch". The dialogue, everything seems to have happened yesterday, nothing has changed, he is still charming on the screen. The characters are still generally lonely, the emotions are still the same isolation, mutual rejection and mutual attraction, the scenery is as beautiful as the photography. Messy.
At a glance, it can be seen that it is Wong Kar-wai's work, messy rooms (or hotels or homes), dilapidated streets, slow taxis, everything is branded by Wang. Argentina, Buenos Aires, Tango Bar, Taipei, Hong Kong, three cities, and finally returned to the starting point, how far you have to return.
But the most outstanding in the film is the actor, my brother in "The True Story of A Fei" "Proclaimed to be a footless bird", because he has no feet, he has to keep flying until he is exhausted and die. The three men in "Spring Comes Together" are like fallen angels reincarnated by the "footless bird", in the movie He Baorong, capricious, domineering, fickle and often vexatious, has a recurring attachment to his gay lover, Li Yaohui, and then abandoned it. In the alien space of Argentina, under the entanglement of film colors like oil paintings, Leslie Cheung is stubborn with bewitching eyes. The smile and brutal possessiveness interpret the unyielding form of same-sex love wrestling. It not only has the willful willfulness of an angel, but also exudes tricks like a devil. Love is like torture. The deeper the wound, the more unhealable and indelible scars are left behind.
This character may not be flattering, but He Baorong is the betrayal and destroyer of love, but only because of this imperfect lack of humanity, this character has the taste of the world - no longer a son of a loving family, but also No longer an uninhibited stranger, Leslie Cheung has gradually evolved into a lover with complex and changeable postures, emotions that come and go, and a lover with a stray personality. In the film's freeze-frame, but with escaping acting to create a character with a deep dimension. I believe that if it wasn't for Leslie Cheung's interpretation, the acceptance of this role would be much lower. In terms of the state of the film, Leslie Cheung's naturalness and devotion are better than Tony Leung
's refusal and rejection that people dare not touch easily. It is still the lonely taste of marginal life, and it is still the struggle of those fragile sensitivities and subtle pains. What is revealed in the film is the kind of rootless loneliness, the struggle of longing, anticipation and fear.
