This movie gave birth to countless classic bridges, such as the following stalks that have been repeatedly used and remodeled by the majority of JRs:
However, the scene that impressed me the most was not the witty lines or exaggerated fights, but this scene of Ah Xing robbing Fang'er:
The movements of the two people are exactly the same as the huge poster behind them, the only difference is the knife and dancing. Take a closer look at the two people on the poster, Fred Astaire, the best dancer of the 20th century, and his dancer Ginger Rogers; the 1940s and 1940s in which the film is set is a period when the two were peerless and inseparable.
This coincidence of course heralds the relationship and ending of Ah Xing and Fang’er, but at a deeper level, this wonderful contrast and consistency undoubtedly vividly demonstrates Xing Ye’s dark humor style and unique self-confidence. Excellent metaphor and irony, but also reveals the unyielding and tenacity of a small person, bravo!
