Leung Ka Fai's outstanding performance, the perfect match of the 16-year-old French girl to create a romantic exotic love, it reproduces a hopeless love that is doomed to be separated from the very beginning with its poetic lyrical style. The warm and humid air on the Mekong River began when the girl saw the black car of the rich boy for the first time. This dull and depressing atmosphere began.
This is another film with few words. The body and eye movements are well conveyed. For example, in the early morning when a man first met a girl, his hand shaking handed a cigarette. For example, the girl's family focused on the meal and the man himself talked at the dinner table where the man was feasting. The contrast of the excellent speech, the portrayal of some other details, and the appropriate film language make the characters much more vivid. Probably because the portrayal of him (them) in the novel is mostly through the observation of girls' eyes. As long as the director replaces the girl's eyes with the camera, the conversion from the language of the text to the language of the film is almost completed. It's just that there are too few depictions of girls in the film, and the heart can be said to be pure or empty.
I don't like watching comedies, I like films that are a bit like tragedies.
In the film, two people with different backgrounds, different ages, different races, and different borders may have been destined to meet each other from intimacy, across the sea, and for a lifetime. Everything that happened at the age of 16, oh no, can't be called an encounter. Everything that happened at the age of 16 will be missed in her heart for a lifetime.
The film is a tidal atmosphere, which makes people's hearts tidal.
