The attitude towards the canned food is always disgusting. For example, canned fish, the appearance is canned, sealed and wrapped, not peeping, you must unsealed to know the truth; the content is fish, but no longer alive, mixed with oils and preservatives of unknown composition, in an eternally dead posture, very hard and very hard Arrogantly face the diners. So canned food is like a desire to uncover, uncovered but no appetite, if you barely eat it, you will get tired of the stomach.
"Jiwu Rental" has long been heard. Not because of Karen Mok, but because of Broadway. Although I don't like "West Side Story" very much, I still like Weber, and Broadway has always found it interesting. "Yoshiya Rental" is a film specially shot to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the musical performance, so it falls into a somewhat awkward foothold. It is a movie, and it must have a strong original taste of a musical; it is an extension of the musical. , And must be shown in the way of film performance. A movie like a can.
The movie begins, the stage, the background, the light beams, and the complete musical ostentation. It seems to be a tribute to the original drama that has been acclaimed for 10 years. At the beginning, I was overwhelmed by the scene of arson venting. I can't imagine how to achieve this effect on the stage of a musical, and I really do this kind of tricks on the stage. Maybe the stage director has to be the first to hold a fire extinguisher by the side of the stage.
Talking digress. "Jiwu Rental" is a completely Chinese translation. This is the original name
The former roommate has now become a arrogant landlord, the former lover either parted ways or passed away, and the former healthy self is now all betrayed by his own cells. Housing, feelings, and health are all "rented." "Rent" means not owning it, "renting" means not being able to devote one's heart to it, and "renting" means that it may be taken back at any time and may be lost at any time. You don't need to cherish everything that comes from "renting", because cherishing seems to be useless.
Unemployed, broken in love, disillusioned, terminally ill, no money to pay rent, let alone living in a slum, surrounded by dangers and injuries. Homosexuality, bisexuality, transvestite, drug addicts, AIDS patients. There seems to be a reason for being such a person, but there is no reason. I didn't know these people before, and maybe I won't know them in the future. However, watching a group of AIDS patients at regular exchange gatherings, they sang softly, "Will I lose my self-esteem? Will anyone care? Will I still wake up from this nightmare tomorrow?" They stood up one by one. , The sorrow in the eyes flowed, the singing voices one after another, and all the questions were unanswered. All people have this feeling, life is like a nightmare, they are isolated and helpless, and live humble and humble without dignity. This is hardly the doubts and sorrows of a group, but the ultimate question of mankind.
I can't do anything about disease, and cannot get rid of drug addiction. Lovers are always on the verge of betraying themselves. Ideals are like rubbish rejected countless times by others. The dearest person dies in pain...gather the pain and magnify it. How do we measure ourselves and life? How to deal with life and death, with love and hatred? What is important? What is unreal?
Hidden behind the music is the answer. The most quintessential music of the original drama is expressed vividly, and many stage plays have limited scenes, which are better expressed in the film's screen.
This movie is still canned food, the good thing is that the fish in the canned food is alive and kicking. I will regard it as a classic, and I will recall from time to time and look forward to it. One day, I can go to Broadway for a pilgrimage to see the authenticity.
