Chow Yun-fat and Xiao Luo Luo

Lovely April Fools’ Day bought a batch of triptych books that I wanted to collect at half price, unexpectedly saving 90 oceans, very happy. I started to read Michael Wood’s "Silenced Sons" on contemporary novels. It was a bit of a headache. I don’t know whether it’s the author’s style or the problem of translation. The "fiction" and "story" mentioned in the introduction, "The Silent Son" and the "Son of Words" I am not too clear about the difference. But from this I still thought of a topic: what kind of novels and movies do I like?
Kundera has repeatedly emphasized that the significance of novels is to explore existence. I agree, and to relax a little bit, I think that good novels and movies should be able to show new possibilities and make people feel happy. Some themes are endlessly shot and will always be loved by the public. For example, the love between men and women is very feuding, and the confrontation between good and evil between police and robbers. Even if it is flooded, there will still be countless loyal fans. Instinct, right? There is no reason to despise their vulgarity. Who doesn't love handsome men and beautiful women, and there is a lot of bullets? Without them, the world must be extremely boring. The huge entertainment industry produces a large number of such products, enough for us to look into the coffin from birth day and night. It’s just that life is so rich and colorful. There are many situations where cards are not played according to the routine. It is a bit too wasteful to spend all the time watching these beautiful and exciting but old-fashioned traditional stories. At least I am too curious. feel.
When I was a child, I watched the "Heroes" series. Before challenging the final boss, Fa Ge always had to kill countless little boys. Seeing those unlucky ghosts falling down several times, I often feel inexplicably lost. What's the difference between brothers? They are all born and raised the same, have good or sad memories, and are also thinking about the future. Why did Director Wu arrogantly let so many other perhaps more exciting stories fall down in one frame in order to send Brother's story? At this time, I always have a strong impulse, to shout to stop at the TV, and then point to an unnamed male corpse in the corner and say: "Get up! I want to see your story." I imagined that he would really get up. , Took out the camera of Fa Ge, who was dumbfounded and didn't understand the situation, and told me vividly about his past. Of course, the story will come to an abrupt end. The ending scene is very familiar to me, because he was killed by Brother Fa! But I will not let Fa Ge come back to continue his cold and ruthless performance, but will stop again and ask the dying Xiao Luo: "You are dead, what about the beautiful fiancee you mentioned just now? I want to listen. Her story!"...I kept reading this dictionary, until Fa Ge became an ordinary entry like every Xiaoluo, I might not be satisfied.
The so-called avant-garde novels, art films and experimental dramas are all unnecessary titles. The only reason I came into contact with them was that I was eager to see more possibilities from them and to satisfy my increasingly greedy curiosity. I am excited about the new possibilities, both in the story level and in the narrative style, such as the recently watched "Become John Malkovich" and "Elephant": Can penetrate into the brains of others, or celebrities His brain stayed for 15 minutes, and then was thrown out to the highway? What a crazy ider, excited! Well, use this to charge money and make money. Not only that, two women fell in love, one got into Markovic's brain, and the other had sex with him at the same time, using Markovic's body to achieve an unattainable climax in homosexuality? Excited X2! Next, Markovic discovered the truth, so he got into his own brain, oh my god~ the whole world has become Markovic! Too NB, excited about X3! I think any queer theory about women and the body can fit into this imaginative film. In contrast, "Elephant" is as cold and dull as this animal, and I don't know why the movie has this seemingly unrelated name. But one time when I went to Beijing Zoo, an elephant was being punished in solitary confinement. It seemed that it was very dissatisfied with it. It lost all the gentleness of the past. It used its nose to attack the gate desperately. In that scene, I looked like a bunny. Scared like a rabbit~^_^ Want to come to the movie to have this meaning? What makes me obsessed with excitement is Van Sant’s “Elephant”'s unique way of telling school shootings. Such a bloody and brutal incident can be interpreted into such a quiet and plain. The camera just follows behind the characters silently, one after another inconsistent characters, one long shot after another, just think of the day in daily life like this. When the time comes, the crazy killing begins. It should be a dizzying MTV-style shooting, and TMD is a long shot! When Beethoven’s music sounded at the end, it was taken, and it was completely taken. It turned out that such an alternative way was the most shocking.
Why can't a dark bullet and a black stick of Xiaoluo knock down Fa Ge? Who stipulated this? Why does the hero even die in the hands of the vicious villain boss, as if this is the right way to die? It's so boring, I want to see all kinds of possibilities, the truth is like the endless life of a gambling saint. In fact, it doesn't have to be so deep that it touches existence, just like Wang Chongyang was smashed to death by a boot as soon as he left the pass in "East as the West". It also brought a new atmosphere and made me laugh.
