I used to love to chase my dreams when I was young

When I was 14 years old, I watched "Carmen Mong Kok" with my partner. At that time, I didn't know who the director was or what he wanted to say. All I knew was that it was a young and dangerous movie, very exciting! At that time, Andy was a hero in our hearts. He was loyal and not afraid of death. The most important thing is that he can give up women for his brother. At the time, this was both invaluable and a matter of course! For the next year, my partner and I wandered around the school one after another and then left one after another. As the years passed, we gradually lost contact and focused on making money (regardless of whether we made it or not). The brotherly love that was taken for granted in those days, the passion on the street was surging, and slowly faded in the mist of time.
The story is not new. Andy is an old man who is not easy to mess with. He brought a little brother named Fly, played by Jacky Cheung, and the two have a very good relationship. The flies want to make a name for themselves by messing around. However, as an old Jianghu, Andy has already seen clearly that the Vanity Fair of Jianghu is at least fleeting.

"Yes! If you live this thing today, everyone will say that you are a fly! But what about in two days? Who still remembers your name as a fly! Your fly is just a fly forever! Longtou has flattened a lot of things! It's still like this now!"
"I would rather be a hero for a day than a bear for a lifetime!" Wong Kar-wai uniquely presented the inner collision of the characters.
Wan Ziliang's acting skills are really high. He has made a character who is not moral, strong from the outside, hard at the same time, bullying the soft and fearing the hard to come alive through rich body language.
A'e is Andy's cousin, and she has always loved Andy in her heart. But Andy has always kept a distance from A'e because of his emotional entanglement with a dancer. The relationship between the two was as hidden and meaningful as Xiaoxi when the dancer was not married. When Andy finally went to help the fly, A'e knew that he might not come back, but she still let him go! She knocked on the glass firmly, intending to tell Andy that he must come back. This kind of struggle between hope and despair without letting others see it, only showed a touch of sentimentality. Maggie Cheung's performance is so penetrating!
In the end, Andy can completely stop helping the fly. As the eldest brother, he is already in place, but the brotherhood makes him unable to let go, even though he knows that he may not be able to come back when he goes, even though he knows that A'e is also something he can't let go of. . Entangled in love and brotherhood, I finally chose the latter, much like back then!
At the end of the film, Andy was hit in the back of the head. The camera cuts to kissing A'e in an instant. In an instant, all the beautiful and comfortable lives are shattered, go to Taipei! Go and live a peaceful life with A'e! All the loved ones who were within reach of him summoned him away in an instant, and became the other side that could never be reached. The tragedy exploded in an instant! All the emotions are gathered here in an instant! Brotherhood, love and a life that never goes back!
In addition, looking at Man Yu after ten years, the charm is still irresistible! Still my favorite!
