Cai Mingliang's "Water" trilogy was completely "submerged" in one day. Watching the teenager Nezha grow from "Juvenile Duan Yihong" to "Leslie Cheung" ("Long Live Love"), who is obsessed with love, and then to Li Kangsheng ("River") with a clear temperament. The leaking roof ticks and falls; the blocked sewers rise silently; the silent negotiation, prying and intervention; the inextricable relationship, ignoring and escaping; the strange disease without a cause, enduring and breaking out. Feeling awkward is like a rootless itch that cannot be touched or stopped. After a few scenes of making love, the venue will suddenly appear very quiet, a kind of breathless silence, so I will jump out and imagine the secret emotions of everyone in the crowd at this moment, how they transpired and disappeared silently. I was thinking, if there is no loneliness, no forbearance and inaccessibility, can clear and easy desire still be called desire?
"Youth Nezha" keyword, wandering. Aze Abin, who works at the "Telecom Bureau", got into the game hall in Ximending on a rainy night, like water returning to water, without a sound. Flyer advertisement: Lonely heart, men come to the store and women call, A Kang in the cram school decided to be Nezha, turned around and jumped into the West Lake with a cup of Long Island, splashing all over the place. The heroines in the first two seem to be lethargic and flammable—after sex, drunk, bored afternoons. Men, on the other hand, are strange, plentiful and tireless, or stubborn and reckless. Hormones are like a superfluous thing, and I don't know how to put them in my hands all the time.
"Long Live Love" has very few lines - the language is indeed redundant. Light, shadow, sound, and breath are all characters, acting with a script. Real estate sales Miss Lin and Naguta sales A Kang, one sells the living house, the other sells the dead, while Chen Shaorong set up a street stall in the human night market. An empty house, the outsider's leather shoes on the floor, rubbing a harsh "creak", forcing you to hang a heart for him. It was later discovered that everyone was an outsider. At the end of the film, I cried with Miss Lin on the park bench for six minutes, and stopped crying. Was it a car that couldn't start, sex without love, or a narrow escape from a gas leak? Amplifying the trivial is profound, and coherent is complete. Re-engraving her loneliness and sadness, why do you cry?
At the end of "River", what was originally thought to be a window on the inside of the bed in the hotel room turned out to be a small balcony. Xiaokang still twitched his neck and walked out, so his vision was blocked by the wall in front of him, and the building opposite was covered by a green safety net. I was very afraid that he would no longer walk back to the camera. Fortunately, the glass of the balcony door reflected a figure, Xiaokang raised his head and paced back. The river is bound to flow forward.
