It was not until the second and third time that I felt different things and noticed more details. Now I think, like the song happy together sang, their final ending is a comedy.
I still remember Xiao Zhang's words, what the eyes see may not be true. In fact, we just followed the eyes of Li Yaohui, so what we saw was only half of the truth.
At first I thought that the breakup of the two was caused by the instability of the baby He Baorong, but after reading it a few times, my opinion began to change. The following focuses on a few issues.
1. How each breakup and restart cycle is caused
(1) The nature of He Baorong’s departure. I
don’t know if you have noticed a detail, that is, as mentioned at the beginning, the two people could not continue in Hong Kong before going to Argentina. So why is this? After seeing that, Ahui wrote to his father, "The longer he wrote, the longer he wrote, and he wrote a lot of things his father wanted to ask but he didn't dare to ask..." It can be inferred that this matter was related to Ahui's sexual orientation. It's that he didn't come out before. It is conceivable that the exchange between the two had all sorts of pressure on Ahui's side.
In watching the film, the two broke up for the first time, and said in Ahui's tone, "He Baorong said that one day I felt very boring, so it's better to do it separately." If you don't analyze it in detail, it is easy to put the mistake on He Baorong. "Like the new and hate the old" go to the top, but there is a lot of content in it. First of all, why does He Baorong feel "boring"? As the saying goes, if you are full of water, it stands to reason that it is a very romantic and pleasant thing for two people to travel in a foreign country in a car. Why does he feel bored? Some of the previous shots just explained the reason for his boredom. Ahui always had a stern face and a grieving expression on his face, even if He Baorong said nice things to comfort him. Think about it, everyone. When traveling with your loved one, the other party always looks upset and complains all day that "you spent all the money", and there is no interest at all, and I want to have dozens of people together. When you squeeze the bus, you never thought of the warmth of the two-person world when two people were driving together. Would you be angry if you were you?
More importantly, Ahui is duplicity from beginning to end, and he doesn't give his lover a little "I love you". He always hides his care for He Baorong. He always frowns and keeps rejecting. Rejection, although he takes care of He Baorong meticulously and transforms love into these specific actions, the problem is that they are in love. People in love can’t see clearly. They are very worried about gains and losses. Seeing that their lover is facing him, he always doesn’t. Happy, don't you think "he is not really happy to be with me"? Later when He Baorong and A Hui were quarreling in the hotel, they asked him if he regretted it. It was obvious that he didn't know if A Hui loved him or whether he regretted leaving Hong Kong with him.
Let's analyze whether He Baorong is a prodigal son who "likes the new and dislikes the old". If he is such a person, then he will regard Lai Yaohui as a harbor when he is tired. Care about Li Yaohui.
However, his performance was not like this. The days when he left Li Yaohui could be said to have been very "satisfactory", but he insisted on making himself miserable before returning to Li Yaohui's side. Why? He made many phone calls to Li Yaohui in the middle, and it can be seen that he is very caring about Li Yaohui by checking his address. If Li Yaohui is just a spare tire for him, is it too hard? And why do you have to come back to this person again and again?
Seeing them meeting in the hotel, this doubt was solved. Every time he came back to Li Yaohui, it was because he missed him so much, that he missed him so helplessly, that he only wanted to call him to the hotel, and only hoped that he would be with him. It is not that there is no one to accompany, but that he is not lonely if he is by his side. But that person is more stubborn and more determined than him, and he just wants to save money and go back to Hong Kong by himself, and he doesn't mean to compromise. If he doesn't look back, the two of them might really be over in this way, so He Baorong, who proposed to break up first, had to put down his self-esteem and do everything possible to return to Li Yaohui.
And as a prodigal son, a person who uses Li Yaohui as a spare tire, why is he so sensitive to Xiao Zhang's voice? If he has always placed himself in a high position, there are two possibilities in this situation: one is to be furious, and only the state official will set fire to not allow the people to light the lamp, because he has only possessiveness but no love, and the other One is that I don’t care, I can look for it anyway. But He Baorong is not. He is cautiously and jokingly tentative, and his eyes flashed dim from time to time, "After that, I won’t ask you, don’t ask me either." Behind not to be outdone is helpless loneliness, only loving each other deeply, very People who are afraid of losing and don't know where they are in the heart of the other party are so sensitive and vulnerable. He knew that he had never loved anyone else, but Li Yaohui, he couldn't guarantee or even think about it. It can be seen that he loves deeply and earnestly.
No one can't live with him, leave again and again, come back again and again, is this kind of tossing what He Baorong wants? He himself is also very painful. Since he only loves Lai Yaohui with all his heart, why go around in circles like this?
The answer is that he can't help it.
Moreover, his departure was not "greedy for freshness", more likely it was just a moment of anger, and could no longer stand in the face of the boring "wood". Seeing that he was "feeling bored", he proposed to break up. How could the reason be bad? How could it be serious? Even as long as Li Yaohui persuaded him and coaxed him, he would change his mind. But "wood" is just a dull look that has been hit hard, without saying a word. It made people even more irritating. His departure was all anger.
It is conceivable that the "every breakup" that Lai Yaohui complained before was actually just an airframe when the baby was angry. "I can live well without you" is what every person who is angry in love wants to prove Yes, but when he finished his gambling, he couldn't help returning to him in a low profile. Li Yaohui never thought that when the baby gave up his self-esteem again and again, wouldn't it be uncomfortable in his heart.
(2) Li Yaohui’s insecurity and Wong Kar-wai’s constellation
As I said before, Li Yaohui did not come out and stole the money from his father’s friend’s company to Argentina. Judging from his various performances, he was full of insecurity. In his words, what would be the "reversed Hong Kong"? At first I really didn't understand what this passage and the dizzying reversal of the city meant. Until I saw Wang's satellite constellation-a Cancer like Tony Leung, I couldn't help but suddenly realize.
As far as my research is concerned, Cancer is a very affectionate and gentle sign, but also very selfish. Why? Cancer is like a hermit crab with a hard exterior and a soft heart. For him, security is the first priority. And the inner love for home is unmatched by other constellations. When he is afraid of losing something, he will hold the opponent tightly with big pliers.
He doesn't like to go out, he doesn't like unfamiliar cities. What he likes most is that everyone stays in a small house, and it is best not to go out even to eat. Don't want to go to new places, always stay in the safest place you think is the best and most comfortable. Things like travel are messy and annoying in Cancer's eyes.
Whenever he went to a strange place, his eyes would show a kind of uneasy uneasiness, and he often looked upset when nothing happened. He was always heavy on his mind, and no one knew what he was depressed.
For such a person, if he meets a baby with a lively and energetic fire sign, it will be a kind of torment to the baby~ See He Baorong jumping around, he is really bored for a long time.
Imagine that a small room, then a small TV, He Baorong stayed alone all day, wouldn't it be boring? Isn't it natural that he wants to go out and around? But for Cancer, this is a perfect hut and a perfect shell. Regardless of the wind and rain in the outside world, it is best for two people to stay like this forever, which is a perfect life. So he said, "I hope He Baorong's injury is not good." This is Cancer's selfishness. This is also the stuffy world of Cancer, and only Tony Leung, who is also Cancer, can interpret this feeling and sorrow so well.
He Baorong’s two "outs and rounds", once was to buy cigarettes, and the other was to buy midnight snacks. In Li Yaohui’s eyes, "he really left again." Such pessimism and inferiority towards himself cannot be saved by He Baorong. He didn't want to find someone else at all when he went out, but went out normally to relieve his boredom, but Li Yaohui was minded and accused time and time again. Is he wrong?
In the end, he bought a lot of cigarettes and put them in that small room, as if it symbolized willingly being bound by the gentle shell of Li Yaohui, giving up his freedom, looking so sad, who said his love is lighter than Li Yaohui?
Looking at Lan Snow’s analysis of Moon Cancer, many places are suddenly cheerful:
“This behavior is a habit of Moon Cancer because Moon Cancer combines this unfair energy in the past with the present dissatisfaction. If you are a person who is faulted by the Moon Cancer, the energy you feel will not only be the energy of the current event, but the past plus the present one.”
So, Lai Yaohui’s resentment is hard to last for a while. After he was cured, we saw a detail that He Baorong was affectionately teasing Lai Yaohui on the rooftop, but the latter slammed down the tool in his hand, which made people frightened. Always be angry with the other party who is faulty. Because every time Li Yaohui promised to start from the beginning, the grievances accumulated in his heart became stronger and stronger. He didn't know how to vent or forgive, and only stood silently against each other in indifference, and He Baorong was not his opponent at all.
"The third problem that will cause is the issue of sovereignty declarations. The normal situation is okay. But once it is emotionally related, this kind of sovereignty declaration of Moon Cancer will spread to some places where it should not be, for example, Moon Cancer. People don’t think that the lover who has broken up can be happily with the next lover.”
This is also reflected in the film. “I always thought I was different from He Baorong...” At the other end, balabala was just saying that, in fact, he always It's hard to forgive He Baorong for being with others so beautifully and without sorrow after leaving him. This is a question of expression. Maybe he will be depressed by the intense pain after breaking up, but He Baorong hides his sadness in laughter and neon. What's interesting is that the last time he broke up, He Baorong began to fall in pain with his wine bottle like Li Yaohui, and fell asleep in the place where Li Yaohui had been sad. Li Yaohui started to have fun in the night like He Baorong, using unruly to cover up his sorrow. Maybe this is love, so that two completely different people are getting more and more of each other's shadow.
In short, let’s analyze how crazy it is for a family-loving Cancer to steal money from his father and to move away from his hometown to the other side of the earth with homosexuals. In the end, there is no money, no house, no support, and how crazy it is. Therefore, under the psychological pressure and anxiety, he was completely in an unbalanced state of mind, as if the world was turned upside down. The only thing that could be caught was He Baorong, so He Baorong was completely his uneasy exit. To say that He Baorong left him is better to say that "he believes that He Baorong will leave him." The panic and uneasiness caused him to make "He Baorong leave" finally a reality in all kinds of unintentional and intentional actions.
At this time, instead, he calmed down slowly, and finally learned to reflect before he could call his father, write greeting cards, and confess that he was gay. This movie, said to be a play of two people, is not as good as Lai Yaohui's inner transformation process.
Second, the clues about Xiao Zhang and the ending.
Xiao Zhang in the play is more like a bystander, a person who wakes up the person in his dream, and a prop that continues to act out Li Yaohui's heart through observation when He Baorong is away.
Xiao Zhang's running away from home puzzled Li Yaohui until he later realized that he was walking happily because he had a home in his heart. Xiao Zhang's "What the eyes see is not necessarily true" also reminds the audience to look at the problem from another angle. Xiao Zhang said, "When you meet a girl you like, you will hear the sound of a heartbeat." Later, Li Yaohui regarded Xiao Zhang as He Baorong. I heard the sound of my heartbeat while hugging. (Note that at this time, Li Yaohui said, "I can finally get closer to him." It should be He Baorong, because he was accompanied by Xiao Zhang every day before, but he looked depressed, and if he wanted to be close, there should be a lot of people. Opportunity, why do you have a heartbeat to approach Xiao Zhang after "Do you know you are like a person"?) "What I hear is true", so Li Yaohui still loves Ho Baorong. And when he and He Baorong met in the toilet, his exactly the same reaction as before also proved this. He didn't want to return He Baorong's certificate. What he said was afraid of He Baorong's words, but wasn't it because once they returned it, the connection between the two would be completely broken, so he wanted to keep such a thing.
Later, when he returned to Taiwan, he obviously became more cheerful. In other words, he finally got out of his own demon. At this time, Li Yaohui and He Baorong would no longer have obstacles. He confessed his thoughts. With money, there is no longer a shadow in my heart, no more insecurity.
At this time, I went back to the greeting card, "I wrote a long, long time before I knew it, and wrote at the end: I hope to be friends with him, and we will start from the beginning." First of all, this "he" is definitely not Xiao Zhang, because I didn't start from the beginning. I thought it was his father at first, but later I found it weird. Even if he started with his father, he was a good father and son.
So, I’ve already clicked it here. Ahui hopes that he will pay off when he comes home and come to He Baorong again. Haha
and at the end of the song and Ahui’s smile after "I don’t know what will happen to my father, I’ll talk about it at the time." , Have proved everything. Even if you go to see your father and ask for forgiveness, you can only be relieved, not like Ahui, when you look down at something and think when you suddenly smile. This kind of happiness is more like when you "take your lover to see your parents".
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
if I should call you up, invest a dime
and you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine How beautiful this world will be, so
happy together
I can see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies 'll be blue baby, when you are by my side,
for all my life, me
and you and you and me
no matter how they toss the dice, it has to be no matter how they toss the dice, it has to be Arrangement
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together,
look at this lyrics, first of all, it must mean that Lai Yaohui only loves He Baorong, and will always love "Except you, I will not love anyone in this life", and then read "You Saying that you belong to me makes me feel at ease" (Li Yaohui’s insecurity was eventually cured) "No matter how fate is arranged, I must be worthy of you, and you must be worthy of me" (whether it is for you or me, in the end We still have to be together) "My whole life is sunny when you are by my side" (The world is colorful when you are there, but the world becomes gray without you) "If I should call you, just vote "A copper plate" (At the end, Li Yaohui made a call, not Xiao Zhang, who is it? Don’t forget that he must know his address. Wouldn’t he call back and secretly ask if He Baorong went back to find him?) Here Then he started to smile for the first time.
I noticed that every time after he reunited with He Baorong and when He Baorong was alone, why did Li Yaohui's world also be colorful after He Baorong left? This proves that he started to reflect, and avoiding seeing He Baorong is not to break up with him (he is not really afraid of the lethality of He Baorong’s words, only when he is in love, that sentence is a lethal weapon, for A person who doesn’t love may not be able to hang himself even if he cries and makes troubles). What he wanted was to go home and solve the problem he was avoiding, so that he and He Baorong could have a really good ending.
I have to say that the sunglasses are actually the TT who loves Leslie Cheung. He originally wanted to use this movie to express the affection, anxiety, self-pity and self-harm of the Cancer man, so he arranged for Li Yaohui to die, but in the end he could not help but secretly give them one. Bright ending. He also couldn't bear He Baorong crying alone in the corner. Haha, don’t let him lie to your tears anymore~~~O(∩_∩)O~
In addition, from the perspective of the plot, a shocking tragedy should be changed. No matter how to change it, it can’t be said to be such a low one. The only possibility for a low ending is that this is a hidden comedy ending, but most people think it is a tragedy. It is obvious that the game is superior. If I were Wong Kar-wai, I would be triumphant. That's it~~
