On June 9, 1988, Wong Kar-wai's debut film "Mong Kok Carmen" was released.
This movie with the theme of gangsters, because it incorporates Wong Kar-wai's personal style, weakens the stereotyped fighting and killing of traditional gangster films, magnifies the mood of the gangster being imprisoned by fate, and precipitates some loneliness in the blood.
Ah Hua, a brave and ruthless gang member, received settlement fees at the age of 14, worked hard, and was prestige, but he was tired of this arena and wanted to leave, but he couldn't help himself.
He had two relationships.
With his ex-girlfriend Mabel for 6 years, tired of this life without a future, he had an abortion and left him. See you later, Suyi Jane, who has become someone else's wife.
A'e, who accidentally broke into his life, hid a glass for him and gave him a reason to go to her.
" I bought a few cups and I knew it wouldn't be long before they all smashed. So I hid one, and when you need this cup one day, give me a call and I'll tell you to hide it in where. "
He thought about giving her a future, but the love ended after he was shot down.
Wu Fei, A Hua's younger brother, a little gangster who can't support the wall with mud, always doesn't follow the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Wufei was born in a low-level family and knows what it's like to be looked down upon.
He didn't dare to go back to his home because he swore that he would not go back to see his mother if he was underdeveloped.
He often creates trouble, but is powerless to solve it. With Ah Hua sheltering him from the wind and rain, he seemed more and more useless.
He wanted prestige, wanted to raise a few younger brothers, the kind of prestige that responded to everything. But he doesn't have the brains of Ah Hua and the ruthlessness of Tony. He is like all the little gangsters who roam the streets and alleys.
Compared with Ah Hua, who is obviously a young and dangerous boy but has a righteous face, I prefer this humble, weak but arrogant black fly.
The character of Wu Fei becomes more tragic the further back he goes.
He didn't want to hide behind Ah Hua forever, he wanted to be powerful, so he had to exchange his life for it.
" I would rather be a hero for one day than a black fly for a lifetime. "
There are two scenes in the movie that really impressed me.
A time when the black flies are the most useless.
Tony brought this man down from the alley to kill him, and Wu Fei was unable to resist and was beaten to the ground.
He was still trying to be brave in his mouth, and when the gunshot rang out, he urinated on his crotch.
This was the biggest shame in Wu Fei's life. After that, he was determined to use his life in exchange for his dignity, and he could never look back.
A time when the flies are at their most majestic.
He took over the assassination mission of the club, took the gun and paid for the settlement, and ran to show off in front of Tony.
He returned all the humiliation Tony had given him before, and by the way contributed the emoji that became popular after many years.
Death is destined to be the final outcome of the flies. Throwing away the peanut shells from him, drawing the gun, and getting shot and falling to the ground, was just a matter of a minute.
He's only been a hero for a minute, and no one will remember him except the brother who helped him up his gun after he fell.
