Why are the old movies so good?

It's strange that I didn't watch Carmen Mongkok until tonight. When Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung appeared, they couldn't help exclaiming with their friends, they were too young and beautiful. Maggie Cheung also brought some baby fat at that time, but it can be called a lot of style. It is obviously light makeup or even plain makeup, but it looks very sexy. I really like watching Jacky Cheung act. Movies in 1988, I haven't even been born yet.
It's Wong Kar-wai's first movie. It's not that Wong Kar-wai, but it's pretty good. Better than most of his films since. Don't play tricks, tell a simple story seriously.
At first, I couldn't figure out why Andy had to lose his life to do that useless thing. On second thought, maybe he was really unwilling to let his brother die so worthless. You all died to kill this man, and if he was still alive, you died in vain.

    @ Baimeihui Hong Kong Film Festival 3.5 stars, I love Maggie Cheung’s stay in Andy Lau’s house to see a doctor, the sunlight scattered in the dilapidated house, the sparse shadow of the hairline, the homely meal of swaying feet, the little action of hitting the deer in my heart, the overflowing heartbeat, solidified The time is simply the prototype and epitome of Wong Kar-wai's future works; the youthful years of the old face, compared to the current casting eyes, are too meaty, cute and tight, she was so wronged when she said goodbye at the station, how could you be willing to leave

    Looking at the passing car, Maggie Cheung burst into tears, she must have expected that she would never see him again. The Hong Kong films of that era were so pure that for the sake of the word "righteousness", women and life and death could be put aside. In the end, Applejack fell in a pool of blood, and the past flashed through his mind like a fast-forward film. I couldn't help but wonder, in the heart of such a man, did he ever think about the word "worth"? .

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: I did a lot of things for our godfather too. By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

    Fly: At least you were a hotshot for a while! But what about me? What about me? Everyone looks down on me. Does that make you happy? People think I'm nothing, like some stray dog just following you around! Did you know that? I'd rather be a hero for one day than go on being a fly all my life!

  • Wah: I just wanted to say...I found that glass.
