Watching a movie is like clicking a hyperlink. I originally wanted to watch "Carmen", but I found this "Carmen Mong Kok". I don't know what is the relationship between "Mong Kok Carmen" and "Carmen" - is it that the protagonists have uninhibited personalities and the fate of bloodshed?
As a classic Hong Kong police and gangster film, it is very nostalgic. The gangster lines and cool actions in it all make people return to the Hong Kong film era of the 1990s. I have seen a lot of shootout films, and the impression left is mainly fighting and killing, thrilling and exciting. Perhaps because of my experience, when I watch police and gangster movies again in middle age, "Carmen in Mong Kok" brings me the most emotion.
When Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung and Jacky Cheung appeared in the film, seeing their handsome appearance and youthful faces, a wave of enthusiasm surged in their hearts, time, is it sealed in the story of "Mong Kok Carmen"? In the film, Andy is called "Cousin" by Maggie Cheung. He has two lovers. The first girlfriend has been with Andy for six years. Because he can't wait for a certain "tomorrow", he finally gave up in despair. The departure of his girlfriend made Andy very angry. At this time, his cousin (Maggie Cheung), who came to board the house, came into his world. Because they lived under the same roof, they developed feelings for each other for a long time, but no one broke it. This layer of window paper. My cousin left, and left a letter before leaving. In the letter, I said that because my cousin often broke cups, I bought him a lot of cups and hid one. When I saw this letter, and when I heard the cup mentioned in the letter, I suddenly understood that the hidden cup was the "lifetime" my cousin wanted to hide .
In a heavy rain, Andy and his ex-girlfriend met again after taking shelter from the rain. The seemingly peaceful conversation and the girl's bland destination were enough to make a prodigal son completely disheartened. He can give his girlfriend courage, romance, and blood, but he can't give peace, ordinary and safety. The ex-girlfriend didn't "get" before, and the cousin didn't "wait" after that.
Later, Andy went to look for his cousin, he saw her and a male doctor walking towards him - he had waited all day, but panicked that he had only arrived; he clearly planned to stay, but he said he would come. go. On the ferry, Andy threw away the last cup hidden by his cousin, and the moment the cup flew out, even a tough guy would be moved. And when he received a call letter from his cousin, saying that he was waiting for him at the pier, and that he would wait no matter how long, the world of compassion flashed again. At Mong Kok Pier, Andy and his cousin hugged and kissed in the phone booth. Time stood still. At that moment, the world in their eyes should only be each other .
In the end, in order to save the "fly" (played by Jacky Cheung), and for the sake of loyalty in his heart, Andy bleeds on the streets. This is his destiny. The cousin, however, can't wait any longer for that "no tomorrow" cousin.
At the end of the film, "Forget You Forget Me" sung by Wang Jie. The tragic story ends in a tragic song. For the first time, I discovered that the original shootout film is not only violent and bloody, but also love and touching.
