People are floating in the rivers and lakes, who can not be hit by a knife? It is a familiar saying that spreads in the ears of the world. The first is the scar left on the body after being cut, and the second is the heart injury that cannot be healed after being injured. With a nostalgic mood, I revisited Wong Kar Wai's old work "Carmen Mong Kok". Although the time has changed, the mood after reading it is still so sad and heavy.
In the 1980s and 1990s in Hong Kong, the themes of such films were endless. The underworld gangster who made a living with swords and guns fell in love with innocent girls, but because of the cruelty and impermanence of reality, they could only be separated in the end, and the interweaving of tears and blood was blurred. The eyes of the audience are touching. But I just love this movie. Because every time I watch it, I have a different feeling coming to my mind. This film is not only limited to the love of children, but also the love of brothers and the morality of the rivers and lakes, which is vividly reflected in it, which makes people shed tears.
When I first saw it, I was deeply moved by the unswerving love between Ah Mo and Ah Hua. For Ah Hua, tomorrow will always be full of unknowns and dangers, but Ah Hua is still pursuing his own heart. Their true love, recklessly went the opposite way, fell in love with Ah Mo, and when "Passion" sounded, the picture of them kissing in the phone booth reappeared in my mind. At the end, I was very moved when Ah Mo sent Ah Hua into the car. We knew each other well, but we still had to accept fate's arrangement helplessly and endure the pain of parting. The despair on Ah Mo's face , The helpless and sad expression, I believe it must have broken the hearts of many people, although Ah Hua finally embarked on the road of no return, but since he has loved, it is enough.
What gave me more surprises and feelings in this review is the brotherhood between Ahua and Wufei. When they are in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is the word "righteousness". In the film, this line runs through it from beginning to end. , From the very beginning, Ah Hua collected the bills for Wufei, was beaten and dwarfed for Wufei, and finally got bullets for him. less tears. In similar movies in Hong Kong in the past, although love often played a leading role in the movie, what was always missing was the friendship between brothers that was stronger than gold.
In this film, Maggie Cheung's acting skills have really been improved. She once said: "It was this movie that made her understand acting." Before that, Maggie Cheung would only perform through her superior appearance, but she did not perform much. A sense of authenticity and a feeling that can touch people. But after the test and exercise of this film, Maggie Cheung has made a deeper improvement in her acting skills. In the film, I saw her sincere emotions, and saw her inner speculation and understanding of the role, not just her appearance. Pure and lovely. However, Andy Lau did not have a big breakthrough in the film, he was cool, and the gangster's appearance was basically able to take shape. Some people used to say that Wang Jiawei made Maggie Cheung, but now it seems to me that Maggie Cheung made Wang Jiawei. I miss Wang Jiawei who was alone and had his own uniqueness. Now Wang Jiawei is like a glass of pure water. Infiltrated with some deadly impurities.
