The road we have taken

Reason for recommendation: This movie is really like a festival. The target is not only Leslie Cheung who turned into a butterfly six years ago, but also our sorrowful, awkward, and crooked youth. Title: "Evil East and West Poison: Ultimate Edition" Director: Wong Kar-wai Screenplay: Wong Kar-wai Jin Yong Starring: Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Tony Leung, Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung, Jacky Lau, Carina Lau, and Cai Ni Yang Release date: Reading on March 27, 2009 Home: The singers of the Stone Garden probably become popular for corpse eating. Merely paying tribute to the deceased's body was too gentle and not strong enough, so the public turned to enthusiasm for the text of the deceased. A classic example: Song Yilang ignored Zhang Ailing's will and published "Little Reunion", which caused a lot of wind and water in the rivers and lakes, and the screams were colorful, and it was openly a grand event in the cultural circle. There is also the current ultimate version of "Evil East and West Poison". Wong Kar-wai hid behind Lei Peng’s sunglasses and announced emotionally "in memory of Leslie Cheung", so the fans ran to the screen and sat in front of the screen to count the shots, counting to the end of the show, and came out As I walked, I said, "Somewhere, there are a few close-ups of my brother missing." Oh, these lovely corpse eaters. But I think the reason why we are keen on eating corpses is simply because there are no fresher ingredients for a while. As a literary film full of monologues, dreams, and empty scenes, the box office fiasco of "Dong Evil Xi Du" 15 years ago is actually reasonable. And today, fifteen years later, the grand release of the film does not mean that it has turned over in narrative. Rather, its symbolic meaning is much more eye-catching. It is said that for the premiere of the ultimate edition in Hong Kong, several invited stars thought they had come to the wrong place and passed the door but did not enter, because the scene was really arranged like a festival. Yes, this is what I want to say-"Dong Evil and Western Poison Ultimate Edition" is really like a festival. The target is not only Leslie Cheung, who turned into a butterfly six years ago, but also our sorrowful, awkward, and awkward fangs. Of youth. Fifteen years is enough to constitute nostalgia, and it is precisely the pursuit of time that softens the independent edges and corners of this film, making it from the ancient paradox to become appropriate. The day I went to watch "Evil and West Poison" was a Tuesday. In the afternoon, the attendance rate was pretty good, almost 50%. After watching Murongyan's episode, three middle-aged and elderly friends left early, and everyone else saw the end. The exit midway is quite understandable, because what Wong Kar-wai wants to express, in my opinion, is not so much a story as a state. Therefore, his films are always made very internally. They often do not win by plot, but are interested in emotions, atmosphere and artistic conception. "Evil East and West Poison" explored the depths of the story and unearthed such themes: life, death, loneliness, love, betrayal, perseverance, forgetting and alienation. This is a specious prequel to the heroes of the world. At that time, they had not yet become a school of masters. They walked among the knives with their shortcomings, sadness and violence, drunk and dreaming of death, depleting their youth. I love someone but I want to leave her, I miss someone but I can't let him know, I'm obviously thinking of but pretending to forget, it's very, very, awkward. And behind this kind of awkwardness is the pure East, I mean, the pure The entanglement of the Eastern style, melancholy, and thousands of times. It was already 2009, Leslie Cheung had been away for six years, Tony Leung and Carina Lau were married in Bhutan, Brigitte Lin died, and the rest of the crowd also faded out. They are all stunning people who have laughed forever in the last century, and they are no match for time, like volcanic dust. Speaking of it, it feels like a white horse has passed the gap, especially in the moment when the stars of Hong Kong film and Hong Kong are not connected. This time I went to sit in front of the big screen, really because I miss Leung Ka-fai’s peachy eyes, the scar on Jacky Cheung’s right cheek, and the close-up of Maggie Cheung’s smiling smile, although I can no longer hide her face. Sorrow and tears. The final version after color adjustment is full and gorgeous, no longer having the dilute and lonely feeling as before, but it looks rich and intense. What struck me was a set of empty shots, deserts, lone trees, blue sky, wild sky and low trees. The oblique and dim angle of view, like an oil painting. Wong Kar-wai is indeed a national player who plays with artistic conception. He came back after fifteen years, and he was not here to play a movie at all. Believe me, it's not the soundtrack of Yo-Yo Ma's cello, it's not the addition or subtraction of one-frame two-frame shots, it's not the tone and subtitles. He clearly has greater ambitions and chances of winning, because this time, what he is playing is his sentimental audience, the magic of time, and the shadow of time. The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, we, no one can escape. 2009-4-6 , Is the shadow of time. The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, we, no one can escape. 2009-4-6 , Is the shadow of time. The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, we, no one can escape. 2009-4-6
