After watching a lot of classic Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, I can't help but sigh that it is really a group of actors who are outstanding in their elegance. . After all, Hong Kong films of that era were still a benchmark for Chinese-language films. Today, when Hong Kong films continue to decline, looking back at those classics, I feel a lot.
For me, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has always been a story that is both unfamiliar and familiar. I've seen this story on countless occasions, but never read it from start to finish. However, every time I see the words Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, and Lan Ruo Temple, it somehow reminds me of the poignant beauty of this story. There are many stories of scholars and ghosts written in "Liao Zhai". Of course, anyone who has known "Liao Zhai" knows that Pu Songling's writing about ghosts is not meant to write about ghosts, but about people. In the film, Yan Chixia also said to Ning Caichen, "Speaking of being a human being, I have experienced the snobbery and hypocrisy of the world, so I hid in ancient temples and acted as a ghost in front of people, and as a human being in front of ghosts, I am now indistinguishable between humans and ghosts. In fact, what is the clear boundary between human and ghosts? The magistrates in the yamen are promoted only for money, and they will be rewarded 30 big boards without bribes; on the way of Xiaoqian's unjust death, but when she is a ghost, she encounters a person who will eventually separate. However, for this person, Xiao Qian would not hesitate to betray her grandmother and gamble her life.
Looking back at this love between humans and ghosts, although I knew that the two of them had different paths, they never regretted undressing and undressing, which made people haggard for Yixiao. From then on, Xiaoqian is no longer a ghost. After drinking Mengpo soup and reincarnating, Qinghua County, before Xiaoqian's grave, is the end of this human-ghost love.
Shili Pinghu frost covered the sky
An inch of blue silk is sad for the year
A single look at the moon
Only envious of mandarin ducks, not immortals
Personally, I prefer "A Chinese Ghost Story" to "Farewell My Concubine".
"Liao Zhai" is always an endless topic.
