Flowers come out, always have to pay back

In "Infernal Affairs", the gangster's words on his lips: "When you come out and run, you always have to pay it back." To apply it to the playboy Alfie, it is "the flowers that come out, always have to be paid back". Like a fish in water, he mingles in the crowd of women, and like Simon in Meteor Garden, he believes in the philosophies of "a woman's freshness period will not exceed a week", and does not invest, refuse, or take responsibility. Once he noticed that the woman was fully engaged, he immediately sniffed out the danger signal, and quickly stepped back, completely ignoring the feelings of the other party. In his sensual years, of course he never thought that the prodigal son would get his retribution one day, and the occasional guilt would make a man like him suffer the embarrassment of ED one day; The drunken sex of a good friend's girlfriend will lead to the birth of a mulatto baby; seeing a girlfriend who once abandoned her as a contemptuous one gets happiness and is regarded as a treasure, her heart is full of sourness; a 50-year-old who thinks she will eat it The reason why a woman actually has a hand behind him and other men is just because "he is younger than you"... It's a great irony. Alfie at the end of the film concludes that his life is "unfettered" and "unconcerned". In fact, he has nothing and accomplishes nothing. He probably doesn't need anyone, but no one needs him either. For such a good-looking young man, he doesn't want to do it. To put it simply in Cantonese, Jude Law's disadvantage is that he is "too handsome". Generally, men who are too handsome cannot be regarded as acting talents. Jude Law has not encountered any good scripts in recent years. The reviews of "Cold Mountain" were mixed, and films like "Alfie" were too light, saying that they were not too young, and they had to hurry up and work hard to become great.
