between woman and woman

I watched "Angel of the Sunset" again, and I felt... very moving, completely different from the impression I watched when I was a child. Shu Qi, Karen Mok, Zhao Wei, and Song Seung-heon, who played soy sauce, are very typical co-production lineups. In those days, they were able to go to Noble Hong Kong to be the protagonist in the release of the film, which shows how popular Zhao Wei was at that time. Although I went to a certain valve to read the film reviews, most of them said that she was too far behind Shu Qi and Karen Mok, but the two Hong Kong stars were better at the charm, and Zhao Wei presented her fresh and energetic beauty very well.

Shu Qi's sister character is almost flawless, capable, beautiful, attentive, tolerant, and has a lingering sense of melancholy and fragility. After watching it, she immediately becomes a sister-in-law; Zhao Wei's sister is stubborn and impulsive, but she actually has a relationship with Xiaoyanzi. In the same line, but the way of doing things in the plot can really be scolded by the audience... Karen Mok's policewoman is capable and neat, with a bit of neutral temperament, in short, each has its own merits.

In the era of action movies and sci-fi movies flying all over the sky, the story background and action design of this movie are not novel. Shooting, car chase, and samurai sword fighting with stand-up elements cannot stand up to detailed scrutiny. However, the three Under the condition that the female lead roles are basically average, their personalities are not blurred, and the male characters are not allowed to be heroes to steal the limelight. Except for the villain, the two male characters with a little more scenes are one for viewing (Song Seung-heon), and the other is Karen Mok The sidekick tool guy, the important confrontation and confrontation all take place between female characters, which will really make audiences who watch a lot of "women's plays" under the guise of a big heroine with no content...even some suspected The footage of Welfare didn't make me feel very male staring or offended. For example, Karen Mok and Shu Qi had their shirts torn and their chests half exposed. The camera lifted up from their chests to their expressions. While gnashing their teeth, there was a faint excitement of meeting their opponents. It's so delicious, Haas Haas! ! And this is just the appetizer. The tension between Zhao Wei and Karen Mok is getting stronger and stronger in the back of the plot, but it has never been broken. It hit me hard. It was a love that I couldn't understand when I was a child... It's hard to tell in the end. For Zhao Wei, it was a bit like a meal replacement for her sister, and it was a bit emotional in the secular sense. There was a very short kiss between them, and then Zhao Wei said goodbye in a dashing way to put an end to everything you want to say. The ending point card is very beautiful. They all played well.

Finally, the interlude of this movie is also good. I heard Carpenter's "Close to You" for the first time in this movie. The ending song is "You" sung by Karen Mok, and I was very puzzled after watching it. The melody is so familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it... After thinking about it, I finally remembered the song "How Much Time Do You Give Me" that I liked a few years ago. It turned out to be the Chinese version of "You" Re-edited version.
