Some films should really be watched when I was young. He reminded me that I was still young, and I was wary of my youth. Every character in the film is vulnerable and competitive. , countless hurried footsteps after blocking other background sounds, countless urges to commit crimes, just to highlight the values ​​of them, this group of young people, everything they do is also to spare no effort to maintain and interpret this value

Andy Lau's forbearance and concessions, and then to his outbreak, from the beginning of the film, he acts as a silent existence, and his forbearance and concessions are always to himself, the outbreak is all left to Wufei, from the beginning to collect money , to the confrontation of robbing people, and then to the final strength, all the outbreaks and impulses are after Wu Fen, and they are all for Wu Fen, even if the death of Wu Fen is a foregone conclusion, he will also shoot the stained witness. , to fulfill Wufei's last wish, this is his value, what he must do as Wufei's boss, so the dialogue with which boss to be the younger brother often appears in the film is also a hint to this point, he maintains It's the responsibility of being a black fly boss

Wu Fen, on the other hand, always maintains his self-esteem. His original family is unsatisfactory. It can be seen from the fact that his mother does not even want to see him. Wu Fen is somewhat inferior, and this inferiority is wrapped in impulse, and he is afraid that others will look down on him. He, so he was reluctant to buy fish balls, he was worried that others would look down on him, so he went to accept a younger brother, even if he borrowed money, he would help the younger brother hold a not-so-dignified feast, he was afraid that people would look down on him, so he was impulsive to defend himself , unwilling to truly show his ability, afraid of revealing his own strength, and finally ended everything with an attitude of preferring death and not living in silence, but does he know that his boss is trying to maintain his dignity once again , at the cost of life

Finally, I want to talk about my cousin. I met my cousin through a treatment, and I also gave my cousin dignity after Andy Lau broke up. After my cousin said ok, I ran hurriedly to chase after my cousin. After my cousin was seriously injured, I took him to the clinic and said that he fell down. Injury, in the process, the cousin gave the cousin the dignity that the ex-girlfriend did not give, the ex shattered his dignity with abortion and marriage, and the cousin gave him respect with trust, even if she knew the cousin's words were not. It will come true, but she still chooses to believe it. Watching the bus leave, this choice is also her impulse. Obviously there is a doctor who has a better choice, but choosing her cousin is both romantic and impulsive, and this may be what a young person should look like. .

    The soundtrack of this film does not have Wong Kar Wai style at all. Only in Ah Mo's letter to Andy can see a little hint of Wong Kar Wai's style in the future. She wrote: I have prepared a lot of new cups for you, but I know It won't take long for these cups to go bad, so I hid one and call me one day when you don't have any cups to use and I'll tell you where it is.

    Wong Kar Wai's debut is also his only gangster film. 1. Although it is not as stylized as the films after [A Fei Zhengzhuan], there are quite a few shadows of sunglasses in this film, such as romanticized lens language such as upgraded slow motion, ghosting, frame drawing, etc. The standard camera position (large elevation angle, large overhead shot, etc.), as well as neon aesthetics. 2. The scene at the dock is also very Wong Kar Wai, and the cup that was hidden and finally found. 3. The scene where Andy Lau met his ex-girlfriend in the pouring rain made me think of Ozu's [Floating Grass]. 4. The soundtrack when the love is driving alone, meeting and kissing at the phone booth - Lin Yilian's cover version [Take my breath away]. 5. Compared with Maggie Cheung, Huang Ying, who plays Andy's ex-girlfriend, is even more amazing and beautiful. 6. The story is very direct and rude, the stubborn little brother/big guy and the helpless real big guy who still insists on the supremacy of love, but the literary style of the sunglasses and Jacky Cheung's staring and roaring performance (it turned out to be the source of the emoji...) Still let the film barely get four stars. (8.0/10)

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: People like us don't have tomorrows

  • Wah: I did a lot of things for our godfather too. By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

    Fly: At least you were a hotshot for a while! But what about me? What about me? Everyone looks down on me. Does that make you happy? People think I'm nothing, like some stray dog just following you around! Did you know that? I'd rather be a hero for one day than go on being a fly all my life!
