Hong Kong slices are small, and the fancy packaging is perfect for birds.
There is a saying in "Remnant Spring": "Our obsession with life is deepening day by day." The author must have never thought that this sentence will be used as a footnote to the debut of a rich second-generation director born in the 1980s in Hong Kong.
There will always be obsessions, whether humans, ghosts, or zombies outside of the six realms.
Of course, the people of Hong Kong have obsessions with Hong Kong movies, and they miss the heyday of 300 movies per year. At that time, the female stars who were both in color and art, they were sultry when they smiled, angry and angry; at that time, the talented directors turned their hands over the desolation and the prosperous hands, a group of white pigeons, a handful of yellow sand, and a pair All cards can be played.
More than Hong Kong people are obsessed with Hong Kong movies. Those of us who were born on the mainland and grew up on the mainland also snatched the newly released VCD, and the next day we showed off the newly learned “Hong Kong Pu” dialogue at school.
Obsession is only meaningful when there is something to do.
When the whole movie circle is heartbroken for Hong Kong films, who has really done something? Shaking a few bad jokes is "humor", and finding a few old actors is "nostalgic". Obviously, Hong Kong movies can't rely on Huang Baiming. Fortunately, there is Mai Junlong. Fortunately, he filmed "Zombie".
At the beginning of the movie, the children's chorus "Ghost Bride" (the episode of "Mr. Zombie") has assumed a tribute gesture, and the story unfolds in this gloomy and heavy atmosphere. Paying tribute and remembrance are all obsessions that refuse to let go.
The overwhelming movie star Qian Xiaohao symbolizes the Hong Kong zombie film. The Hong Kong film has gone down as a whole. If the skin is not there, how will Mao be attached? No one cares about zombie films is also reasonable. The frustrated Qian Xiaohao found a murder house and committed suicide. Before he died, he did not forget to line up the items he carried with him. These are the most important memorials in his life: yellowed group photos, zombie films, gambling films, martial arts Three kinds of costumes. As an era fades away, some of the group of people who once took a group photo are international, and some are separated from the yin and yang. Those who stay in the same place always don't know how to deal with themselves.
When the rope was pulled into Qian Xiaohao's skin and flesh, his pupils dilated, and there seemed to be ghosts and charms rampant in the room, but there seemed to be none. After a brief period of pain, there are hallucinations, the paradoxical Pan Shen and rotten strawberries mixed with his early movie scenes flashing quickly.
After passing this hurdle, you will finally get nothingness.
At this moment, Ayou, a Taoist priest who was hidden in the city, stepped forward, with a nightgown, white vest, and mahogany glasses, like a modern Taoist priest! A You took the knife and dropped it, cutting the hemp rope around Qian Xiaohao's neck, saving his body first, and chasing away the female ghost who was waiting for the opportunity to move. Although he hadn't been out for a long time, his movements were still smooth and he didn't show the slightest senility. Times have changed, and people are not yet old.
Ayou didn't know, what was severed by him was the past and the present, reality and fantasy, life and death.
When the camera panned over the photo, how many viewers pressed "Freeze Frame" and carefully identified every familiar face.
The voice is there.
Taoist priests can only survive on fried rice in a world without zombies, which is ridiculous and pitiful. If the compass hung on the wall is to commemorate my father, how can Ayouliluo explain his skill? Ayou respects the profession of Taoist priests. After so long, he hasn't been unfamiliar with his skills, but he has no choice but to catch no zombies.
"No matter how delicious the rice is, what about it?" "In short, it's untimely." The
so-called helplessness, but the big spoon flying when the Taoist fries the glutinous rice.
Helplessness, like love, is permanent and stable.
The teacher who has lost her lover, the mad girl who dared not go home and did not want to leave, the mage who has expired, and the twin ghost girls who have died, all rely on love and helplessness to live in this prison-like house.
What is more permanent and stable than permanent and stable is obsession.
There have been too many speculations about the plot within the last 5 minutes of the movie. Director Mai Junlong also gave some explanations: "I want to tell a story about hope, a forgotten fear. Xiaohao is in the movie. Hanging himself, looking for the lost family, looking for dignity, and finding oneself through the flashbacks, this is a kind of exploration, the last shot, I don’t know if you have noticed, he left with a smile, I think this is hope." .
Mai Junlong also revealed a few details in the interview:
In order to help Qian Xiaohao find the state of depression, when he sleeps for 2 hours, someone will call him to wake him up and talk for ten minutes before going to bed; the diet is clear every day. simple. In this state, people quickly fall into a state of chaos and melancholy.
This script has been revised three times before and after. Four tall ghost soldiers appeared silently in the long dim corridor. This ghostly and majestic scene was written to Xu Guanying and Lou Nanguang. No one thought that Xu Guanying had passed away before the script was written. Director Mak felt that no one could replace Mr. Xu Guanying, so he drastically deleted the entire scene.
The first time I saw this section of the bridge, I only found it absurd, stunning and abrupt. After listening to the history, I saw it again, and the picture was even more bleak.
"The most important thing is whether the creation is what you want and whether you can tell the story you want to tell." You can say that this is the waywardness of a rich second-generation. He can ignore the market and "not shoot for any awards." But this is also a tribute to childhood memories of the generation born in the 1980s, a filmmaker's obsession with Hong Kong films.
As for the nonsense of symbolism, technique, Japanese elements, plot, special effects, and modeling, after seeing Mai Junlong's talent, there is no need to be verbose.
I just want to know whether the deleted story is really unrepresented.
