When I was in college, I could watch as many movies as Dahua Westward Journey, and it was the king of this comedy. Big talk is about powerlessness and personal insignificance, emphasizing helplessness, while comedy is about perseverance, active waiting, and stressing hope. If it corresponds to Wong Kar Wai's movie, then the big story should be the True Story of Ah Fei, and the comedy should be Chongqing Forest.
I haven't watched this film for a long time, and occasionally I see some clips on the Internet, such as Stephen Chow saying "I'll take care of you" to Cecilia Cheung, and then Cecilia Cheung was crying in the car. When I watched this film ten years ago, I paid more attention to the courage of men to pursue women, but now I have noticed more things. For example, after learning that Yin Tianqiu has a sweetheart, Sister Juan no longer insists on giving him the chance to win the number one male. People are always weighing and comparing in their hearts, and everything they do is to obtain the greatest benefits and protect themselves. Inner fairness, Sister Juan also knows that it is not good to play tricks like this. In the end, she attended Yin Tianqiu's drama performance, which was considered to be flattening the scale, but for Yin Tianqiu, that opportunity was also Just because he did not live up to that sincere emotion and let it go, maybe regret, but never regret. For another example, every time Wu Mengda appeared, his tough torturing questioned Yin Tianqiu's attitude towards life and the world. From cowardice at the beginning to confidence at the end, the moment he picked up the three bowls of lunch was the moment of self-confidence confirmation. Perseverance, Persevere again, life is only like this, and only like this, otherwise it will fall short, otherwise there will be nothing.
At first, I just focused on a man in the struggle, his narcissism, his desire to be loved, but now, seeing more of the reality of life, you can't sacrifice the whole for the part, and give up the moment for the future. Ideals, commitment, health, life, need balance. Of course, ideals make everything supportable, but blindly pursuing ideals and forgetting others will be too empty.
The king of comedy, there are sorrows and joys, such as life, there are choices, persistence, setbacks, and moving.
Whenever we want to live like the line in the opening film, "Work hard! Struggle!" This is how life should be.
