A good movie to remember and think about that I almost missed

Today in advanced English class, the teacher who studies literature told us not to look at other people's comments before watching movies, reading books or writing comments. I probably understand the meaning, so today's film review is purely on a whim, without borrowing from other people's brushstrokes. I was busy but couldn't help knocking down a piece of mind in the dormitory.

The title is my main idea, which contains keywords: almost missed, memory, thinking, good movie. I'm not going to go into details, but I'll keep it in mind.

Why almost miss it? This movie was released in 1998, the second year of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. When I first started watching it, it always reminded me of Maggie Cheung and Liming's other drama "Sweet Honey", so I remembered that Hong Kong was described as a person in this drama. Everyone wants to get rich paradise, although the characters of Lai and Zhang are small people, not rich or noble, and even have some ups and downs, but it is always a very real presentation of the high self-esteem of Hong Kong people. The girlfriend in the play, a girl from the mainland, is portrayed as a mountain baby who has never seen the world. When I watch it, I think it is cultural, but in retrospect I feel very uncomfortable and I don't want to see it again. Because my cousin came to find my cousin, but at that moment I almost thought it was this kind of Hong Kong supremacy movie again, and almost gave up the drama. Fortunately, I continued to watch it, but the scene of the fight was too direct. I thought it was something that I could only do in junior high school. Are the young and the bewildered really so loyal? So I decided to see what professionals say about Hong Kong movies in the 1990s. It just so happened that the ipad couldn't open CNKI, and I couldn't read it even after I opened it. I gave up after tossing for an hour. Today I packed it up and went back to the dormitory for dinner. I opened it again by the way. When I saw the end, I remembered a lot of things. I regret, I sympathize, and I miss.

This movie reminds me of my second uncle. He is not a young and dangerous boy, but he is very good at martial arts. There is still a bamboo pole at home where he practiced martial arts at that time. He may be taller and more handsome than Andy, because I've never met him, but every time the old man in the village talked about his second uncle, he always said that he was handsome and handsome, and the girls who pursued her formed a long line. I think my father was like Liming when he was young. Almost, but they say Er Bo is better-looking than Dad, so I can't imagine what a Gone with the Wind looks like. It was Ajie who collected the numbers for Wufei and reminded me of the second uncle. It was Ajie who made up the gun for Wufei and reminded me of the second uncle when he was dying. He heard that his father was in Hainan, and he went to Hainan to make money at the age of 20. I don't know what kind of money he made, but the people in our family were innocent for generations and would not do illegal things. The family built a house, and generously lends money to friends, but people are so terrifying, in order not to pay back the money, they fly swords and swords, borrowing the name of the banquet, to people who have a bright future, people who have many years of girlfriends Kill alive. I can't understand it, and I don't want to accept it, but it's the fact that I have to accept it. Although we haven't met, I have been missing and reluctant to part with the uncle who I respect.

I am curious about the style of Hong Kong movies, as well as the young and dangerous, the underworld culture (after all, this is so different from the underworld in Shanghai), thinking about friendship, family and love, because I often feel that myself In college, I seem to be heartless, selfish, and not very enthusiastic. From being righteous in junior high to being famous, to egoism in college, my values ​​are changing, but I don't know if all of this is correct.

A good movie is one that can keep me in the back of my mind, prompting me to write this review. That's all for today, wish u the best!

    The soundtrack of this film does not have Wong Kar Wai style at all. Only in Ah Mo's letter to Andy can see a little hint of Wong Kar Wai's style in the future. She wrote: I have prepared a lot of new cups for you, but I know It won't take long for these cups to go bad, so I hid one and call me one day when you don't have any cups to use and I'll tell you where it is.

    Wong Kar Wai's debut is also his only gangster film. 1. Although it is not as stylized as the films after [A Fei Zhengzhuan], there are quite a few shadows of sunglasses in this film, such as romanticized lens language such as upgraded slow motion, ghosting, frame drawing, etc. The standard camera position (large elevation angle, large overhead shot, etc.), as well as neon aesthetics. 2. The scene at the dock is also very Wong Kar Wai, and the cup that was hidden and finally found. 3. The scene where Andy Lau met his ex-girlfriend in the pouring rain made me think of Ozu's [Floating Grass]. 4. The soundtrack when the love is driving alone, meeting and kissing at the phone booth - Lin Yilian's cover version [Take my breath away]. 5. Compared with Maggie Cheung, Huang Ying, who plays Andy's ex-girlfriend, is even more amazing and beautiful. 6. The story is very direct and rude, the stubborn little brother/big guy and the helpless real big guy who still insists on the supremacy of love, but the literary style of the sunglasses and Jacky Cheung's staring and roaring performance (it turned out to be the source of the emoji...) Still let the film barely get four stars. (8.0/10)

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.
