Andy is a former black fly

4 and a half stars, the level of this debut work is too high, directly reaching the industry's average narrative level, and has nurtured its own aesthetic style.

The lighting of the shot composition is extremely elegant, and the countless frames are as beautiful as oil paintings. In this way, Maggie Cheung's slender figure, and her innocent face and eyes with a hint of stubbornness, can present a ten percent taste.

In terms of character creation, at first glance, Brother Wufei is too bright. Reckless and funny, smiling and responsible, but very sad in his heart, he wants to show his face, and he is very good to his younger brother. In fact, he begs for a little respect from others.

On the contrary, it was his eldest brother, Andy, who, at first glance, was inferior. A free-spirited person who would rather be in the rivers and lakes than looking for something to do is not as motivated as the character of the black fly.

But looking back on the details, he is not only the casual wandering person who doesn't know where to go.

His ex-girlfriend had been with him for six years and nothing happened, claiming to have an abortion, and they broke up. Reuniting on the streets of heavy rain, Andy saw her very emotional, and his expression even said that if he wanted to rehabilitate the old one. But the ex (probably lying to him) said that he was married and that the children with the big belly were not his, so he gave up.

I met Maggie Cheung, chased to Lantau Island, spent the night, moved chicken wings and laughed together during the day, giving people the feeling that it is okay to live like this.

Andy took the settling allowance when he was 14 years old, and he has seen the wind and waves long ago. If he wanted to, he could definitely develop into a handsome boss like Wan Ziliang with a bunch of horses. Instead of such a fake boss who only has Wufei, a broken brother.

In the final analysis, he is soft-hearted and affectionate, and he can't be cruel when he encounters people who care about him, so he has been dragged down by Wufei all the time. I also underestimated the ups and downs on the rivers and lakes, knowing that if something happened today, no one will know you next week.

The role of cousin is an opportunity to externalize Andy's heart. And Andy, it must be more interesting to cooperate with Wufei. He's a grown-up (and certainly smarter) version of the black fly. He doesn't move anymore, he can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, as long as there is someone to accompany him.

The lines of the young and the bewildered, in which they talk harshly to each other, are both vivid and lively, and it is fun to watch. But I thought that these young people could not walk the right way (no money, no livelihood, no ambition), so they embarked on the road of street gangsters, and at that time, the young and the dangerous turned out to be a serious (wild) ascending channel , mingling can bring black fame and fortune and false respect, just because of that world, and those young people who are ambitious (albeit crooked) feel a little bit of magic and sigh.

    1988, Director: Wong Kar Wai (Hong Kong), 30 years old. The film is Wong Kar-wai's directorial debut and was selected to be exhibited in the 1989 Cannes Film Festival Film Critics Week. With his unique style and keen tentacles, he was hailed as a cutting-edge director with extraordinary talent at that time. Although the material of the film is popular, the "anti-meaning" of the story itself makes the film not popular in the end, but has a special sense of authenticity. The director did not put people in the ordinary Jianghu film mode.

    Kowloon and Buenos Aires share a balcony at night, and bicycles rush away at the rhythm of horses. Hong Qi, who is not enlightened, is just a fly selling fish balls. Su Lizhen, who is not wearing a cheongsam, is as light as a beach. Drunken life, dreaming and death have not been summed up into a kind of wine, and time also burns itself ardently and does not pay attention to the ashes. Later, everyone was talking about "It's a pity that I can't turn my head around", who knew that Wong Kar Wai was Wong Kar Wai from the very beginning.

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: People like us don't have tomorrows

  • 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!
