Wong Kar-wai is so unfair. . .

The role for Wei Tsai is so sweet, and the role for his brother is so shallow. Maybe in any relationship, there are always two roles, one forbearing and forgiving, one for heaven and earth; one for pain, the other for heartlessness.

In fact, our elder brother can play the role of tolerance and tolerance. How about Director Wang let him play the role of a woman who doesn't know what is good or bad? What's even more unfair is that, apart from playing around, he didn't even give that character a little bit of human depth.

I can't blame my brother when he came to Taiwan, he couldn't help but complain about Director Wang. He vomited and diarrhea in Argentina, only to play Tony Leung's supporting role. After playing for more than half a year, the actor knew that he had been fooled, and he had traveled far and wide across the earth. The role he gave was so simple and lacking challenge.

This film is so extravagant that Leslie is used as a supporting role. In fact, for this careless role, just change to a handsome actor, leslie is unnecessary. Of course,
in the eyes of movie fans, He Baorong, played by Leslie, has the same weight as Wei Zai. It is a role that anyone who understands Leslie's past and present will want to favor.

The eternal theme of Wong Kar-wai's film that lingers from beginning to end in the film-the kind of loneliness that penetrates your bones, the kind of loneliness that the lover has been married for more than ten years and can't be eliminated, the loneliness in this film can sometimes make people Will be flustered.

When Li Yaohui left Argentina, and really left, only He Baorong was left in the huge Argentina and the corners of the world. He started to be afraid of loneliness, so he tried to pretend that he would come back. He tried to keep everything as Li Yaohui was still there. He folded the cigarettes according to Wei Zai’s method, and he arranged the room as Wei Zai usually looks like. , He repaired the lamp, he waited for him at the door, the dim light shining on the mottled door of a foreign land. Then one day, he finally cried bitterly.

At the end of the movie, Li Yaohui went to Taiwan and saw Zhang Zhen’s shop. He thought of Zhang Zhen who was alone in the southernmost part of the earth. He said, I only now know that Xiao Zhang can walk around outside happily because of him. Knowing that there is always a place waiting for him to go back.

The reason why He Baorong would cry is because the place that would always wait for him to go back before is gone.

But even if they did it from scratch, all of this would not change. Wei Zai will always be Wei Zai, and his elder brother will always be his elder brother.
