she has no choice

The debt to Fallen Flowers (1990) lasted for more than ten years.

I first watched it on Hong Kong Pearl TV in 1992, and then I watched the disc again in 2001, and I had a lot of love. Nikita, with short hair and bright hair, lacked love when she was young. When she grew up, she was wild and like a leopard. After being detained for participating in robbery, she escaped from prison many times. After being caught, she was sentenced for killing a police officer. Lethal injection was finally included in row 8, tomb 30. But privately, he was recruited by the national security department.

She had no choice but absolute obedience. After a series of special training, Nikita will accept special missions, mainly assassination and stealing intelligence. Among them, the security officer, Bu, took great care of her, and her detached feelings were like the care of an eldest brother, which made Mary, who took the new name, deeply moved.

In the supermarket, as a "female nurse", she met the cashier, the enthusiastic boy Marco. The two loved each other deeply. But when the order is received, it will be executed immediately, even if it is a honeymoon in Venice. Mary, who is suffering endlessly, is tormented in the face of Marco's love. Fortunately, Ma is an open-minded man. In fact, he already knew her general situation. Just because I love her and don't want to expose it. Even if it was revealed, what good would it be for her.

The final mission did not go well, and after terrifying Mary, she was physically and mentally exhausted. After a lingering night with Marco, he disappeared. It's just that she chose to quit, does it indicate that her return is expected. Uneasy Bu, carrying a national mission, came to Mary's residence, and Marco handed in her last mission - a stack of film. We will all miss her, Bu said. Mark said yes, but his heart was bleeding. Only those who love deeply know the tearing pain in Mary's heart.

I like the inner interpretation of this film, it is like peeling off the skin, uncovering the core bit by bit, reaching the innermost layer, only to find that it is still a mystery. Where Mary or Nikita went, no one knows. From a certain point of view, I like this film more than "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". The magical, tense and warm atmosphere it pervades is like a cocktail, mellow and full of flavor.

Luc Besson's "Falling Flower" not only has the warmth of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", but also has a deeper deconstruction of human nature, which is a mastery of mastery. The female protagonist is just right, and she is not public. Even after my hair stands on end, I still have deep sympathy. This exquisite narrative is worth savoring. It is enough for a director to produce such a video in his entire life.

    The female version of leon seems to have been remade in Hong Kong. It's called the black cat... The heroine plays very well
