It turns out that rivers and lakes can also be so sensational

The charm of Hong Kong lies in the regeneration of the "scavenging" aesthetics. The small island is a creation of a special historical occasion given by God. Hong Kong movies are symbols that have indifferent to real memory, and it is another strange world. The most prominent Hong Kong films are not on the pier where the morning sun shines, but in the dark night when all kinds of blurred love affairs are constantly passing through. At this time, Hong Kong always seems to have countless stories, either grief or excess.

In 1988, "Mong Kok Carmen", full of romance and fantasy, was born, showing Wong Kar-wai's extraordinary talent: sexy slow panning, sharp jumping editing, the future international master has already shown his sharp edge in his debut, not only showing superb skills. Narrative skills, Wang's gorgeous and fascinated style has also begun to take shape, and the superstars with green faces have strung this urban fairy tale with their restrained yet vivid performances.

The flow of life and the uncertainty of rivers and lakes are doomed to this tragedy of life and death. Emotions always begin and end dimly, mediating between happiness and pain, occasionally reserved and occasionally unbridled love that seeps into the rain of blood. In the life of the fishy wind, the camera is sharply aimed at the dark and obscure streets and the loneliness that is bleeding endlessly, how many times the moths have fallen in love with the flames, struggling to get up and the vague consciousness - choose or escape? In Wang Jiawei's eyes, the rivers and lakes may be more like a detached fable, with fragmented storylines and confusing color images, love leaves silently in the long night of waiting, forever frozen in half-dream and half-awake, "Because I know myself very well, I can't. What do I promise to you?" The surreal romantic style makes so many thoughts hidden in the eyes of hesitant to speak, and the most selfish ending of loving and being loved is that she is still guarding the phone, and he is already in the world.

As tears go by, it turns out that Jianghu can also be so sensational.

    Are debut novels so young?

As Tears Go By quotes

  • 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!

  • Wah: I just wanted to say...I found that glass.
