The dance performed by Xu Zai was a popular Cha Cha in the 1960s. As we all know, Leslie Cheung was born as an idol singer, and he was the best in the music world with his singing and dancing. In the 1980s, it may be a matter of opinion about who has the most perfect singing voice, but when it comes to the king of stage performance, Leslie Cheung is in all likelihood none other than Leslie Cheung. He has a strong sense of the stage and a sense of music, is willing to work hard to master the skills, and has the talent to perform individualized play, so he dances with full charm, not only familiar with ordinary accompanying songs and dances, but also tango, waltz, Twist, jazz Dance, tap, cowboy and even ballet are all great. Speaking of which, I suspect that Mr. Wong Kar Wai made up his mind to arrange for him to perform a dance in the film when he invited Leslie Cheung to make a cameo appearance. Therefore, when the plot was not yet clear, a scene in which Leslie Cheung danced by himself had already been filmed.
This section is not only expressive in the selection of the music, but also very delicate in the arrangement of photography: seeing Xu Zai's figure first looking at the mirror, and looking at himself outside the mirror; at the happy place, take a shot with both hands, and the figure dances out of the picture, The figure is still in the mirror; then the figure is out of the picture, the camera moves slowly, and the back of the figure is brought back into the picture; the figure continues to dance, turns to the side, and disappears outside the wall, and due to the continuous movement of the camera, it is almost illusory that the figure is still there Within sight; in the end, the characters really reappeared and turned to the front again... As far as the picture itself is concerned, it already has the beauty and dynamism of dance, plus Leslie Cheung's intoxicated look, flexible and swaying waist and crotch, it seems The casual, but coordinated and rhythmic steps make every inch of the characters' skin feel temptation and desire; the simple apartment, curtains, and mirrors are filled with the colors of life and death.
