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.

    The tender Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung... I don't know if they dare to look back now, youth is cruel~ There is no tomorrow for people like us. If I could miss you, I wouldn't come to you again. At that time, Andy Lau's body was so beautiful, Maggie Cheung was so young and pure, Wan Ziliang was not a greasy uncle, Jacky Cheung was so talented in acting, and Jianghu gangster films were so literary and artistic.

    If you want to summarize Wong Kar Wai's films, one word "wait" is enough. "Reunion" is the prelude to his cinematic world and the ultimate search for the hero and heroine of all his films. Although "Mong Kok Carmen" in the exploration period has not yet formed its distinctive style and the time system that is so huge that others can't walk in and can't escape, his debut work is still considered to be a worthy comparison due to the careful comparison of image quality. Nice work. From the rivers and lakes in the Hong Kong genre films in the 1980s, he found the home he should go to, and a long spiritual journey began.

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.
