Such a beautiful thing will soon pass away, are you willing?

1986.

At that time, the Internet was not as popular as it is now. People did not have smartphones or Weibo and Facebook, but they could still interpret a wonderful life. At that time, watching "The True Color of Heroes" will definitely be moved by its story, stunts, and roaring gunfire. Needless to say, just looking at the cast and crew list is a kind of enjoyment: starring: Dillon, Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung; Lyricist: Huang Zhan; Producer: Tsui Hark; Director: John Woo.

Hong Kong people living in the 1980s had an unwilling temperament, and they were able to lower their bodies. To use an inappropriate metaphor, they were like a tree in a deep valley. Even if they couldn't bathe in the sun, they grew proudly. , has a good temperament of self-care.

This temperament is like a pony.

Chow Yun-fat's pony was popular in the 1990s and was known as the "Asian Gun King". He was born handsome, and with his early comedy performances, he always exudes a wonderful sense of humor, which is reflected in Stephen Chow. Chow Yun-fat is a classic comedy, but there is a kind of casualness and indifference in Chow Yun-fat. It can be said that among the various temperaments of men, what can rival serious and responsible is a kind of indifference and indifference, which are two ends of the scale, each with its own advantages.

There are quite a few moments when Brother Xiao Ma made people cry, but only three times made me cry: the first time was when he was lame and jumped up and down to clean the car for the enemy. Heroes often feel sad when they try hard, but fortunately, this is not the case. It just started; there was another time when he grabbed Leslie Cheung's head and gave a hard lesson to this messenger of justice who had more than enough success, and then got a headshot, and when blood was sprayed on Leslie Cheung's face, I thought to myself, the director is really Ruthless, for the sake of orgasm, I don't even want my little brother.

The third time was not during those climax moments, but when he sat quietly on the mountain, smoking a cigarette, and said to Dillon, "The night view of Hong Kong is so beautiful, I have never seen it before. Such a beautiful thing disappears very quickly. I'm really not reconciled."

When I was young, I thought that Di Lung's cowardice Leslie Cheung would only do bad things, and only Xiao Ma was the most lovable person. But when I look at it now, I feel that he is a real person with fatal flaws. Those who want to conquer the sky and often feel unwilling will die soon, either by being shot in the head by an enemy in the movie, or by a bad thing in reality. nausea.

So many people have compromised, and even more people have never had a dream at all. At this time, there is a person standing on a distant mountain looking at the splendid night scene of the world and saying "I'm not reconciled", although stupid, but also really cute.

For a long time, I liked a sentence, "There is always one person who wins the championship, why can't that person be me?!" Sports competition can be divided into winners and losers, but what about life? It seems that there is no right or wrong about winning or losing. The justice on one side is evil on the other side, and it is not worth promoting at all, but if you can be loyal to yourself from beginning to end, you can be considered worthy of yourself.

But what really made me feel that I grew up was the change in my perception of Dillon's character. I used to think that he was a coward and complacency but got nothing, but now I see his profound sense of righteousness. He believes that there is a god three feet above his head, which in itself is a kind of humility. In comparison, the pony is too hostile and handsome, but he still needs to be shot at the end of the game to increase the dramatic tension.

Accepting fate is not passively waiting, nor superstitious evasion, but learning to accept it after taking the initiative. Even if you don't accept it, the wheel of life rolls back and forth on you several times, but you still have to accept it.

Each of us can be a pony or Leslie, but it's hard to be a Dillon.

A Better Tomorrow quotes

  • Mark Gor: That's enough! I don't need your pity! You don't owe me anything. I would never force my own friends to do something they wouldn't do. I have my own regulations. I just don't want to live like this any more. Do you think I like to beg? I've been in bad shape for three years, waiting for this opportunity. This is my only chance, not to prove that I'm the best, but to simply take back what I have lost. Look at yourself. Look at what you've become. Back then, people rejected you. Now you can't even take two steps without someone following you. Have you ever fought for a chance? You never have. Never! don't want to be like you.

  • Mark Gor: If we don't watch, we'll have nothing.
