On Monday, I bought the tickets for the True Story of A Fei. The first time I saw Leslie Cheung in the theater, I really looked forward to it.
Before I saw the movie, I always thought that this movie would be a bit similar to Forrest Gump, but it turned out that I was completely wrong.
Birds that cannot land until they die are often mentioned in the film. I think Xu Zai compares himself to that kind of bird. He doesn't know who his biological parents are, and he has a more casual attitude towards every woman. But there is no way to deny that this character is really charming, coupled with Leslie Cheung's very vivid performance, how can you not be moved? He said to Su Lizhen, "This minute, we are together. Because of you, I will remember this minute." What a beautiful and moving word. How romantic. He may not be interested in every woman, but he will remember it like he always remembers that minute. The women around him may have the same ending. They are losers in love. They will be unwilling and sad, but it's good to walk out. It's just a matter of time. Who wins?
His life was short, but when he was alive, he was condescending and depraved. The final departure may be a relief for him.
Probably because I didn't have enough experience, the first reaction after watching the movie was that I didn't seem to understand it. On the way home, I have been thinking about this movie. There is a feeling that a literary film is more brain-burning than a suspense film. The most puzzling thing to me is the appearance of Tony Leung at the end. What exactly did he want to express, and so far there is no answer.
I watched them on the screen as they looked when they were young, and when I watched a movie that was older than me, I couldn't say that I had any feelings, but I was inexplicably moved.
I hope that when I read it again in a few years, I can understand the meaning of it.
