The video has three sections. It tells the love and sorrow of three women from different ages in the best time of their lives.
All three women belong to the lower classes of society. The country's cramped billiard room scorer, the old society's dust girl, the new era singer.
Director Hou Hsiao-hsien asked Shu Qi to play these three women, but he really chose the right person. A woman who can interpret sexy as simple, dignified and sad.
A dream of love:
In Kaohsiung, Taipei in 1966, Shu Qi wore beautiful silk shirts and tight cropped trousers to work in the old and dark pool room, playing with the guests and giving them points. It all makes me feel so intimate. I remembered a pool table was added to my home when I was a child, on the third floor balcony by the river. That was when I was a child, studying alone in Chengguan, only going home on Saturdays. I don't know how to play this game, and I don't get any points. It was made by my mother and asked my father to make it to increase our income. I still don't know how much income the pool table has added to our family. I only clearly remember that most of the people who came to play were acquaintances in the town. Once they threw the ball into the clear water of the Tang River under the balcony. Pull away. The male protagonist is Zhang Zhen, a young man who has not been admitted to university and is about to serve in the military. Played the second ball, simple conversation. Then he went to the army, sent a light letter, searched tortuously, and held hands uneasily. The story is accompanied by the whole section of the English old song rain and tears, such as the white lotus in the pond in the dark night, blooming quietly, making people feel heartbroken.
Two freedom dreams:
In this section of 1911, all the pictures give a visual enjoyment. Exquisite classical furniture, lush green bonsai, gorgeous brocade clothes, suave patriotic literati and dignified, forbearing and beautiful women. There is no dialogue in the film, and traditional subtitles are used instead. It adopts the method of silent film, and the piano music runs through it. As the literati gathered to discuss state affairs, Shu Qi's melodious and poignant Nanyin sounded, slowly attracting Zhang Zhen's eyes. It seems that only at that moment, he is the most concerned about her. It is always state affairs that will be discussed in future gatherings or letters. The little girl was redeemed by a rich and kind person, and Shu Qi asked Zhang Zhen, "Have you ever thought about my life?" Even if she wiped away her tears, she quietly walked behind him, so restrained and so sad. Finally, Zhang Zhen sent a poem by Liang Qichao, who was saddened by the Treaty of Maguan: "Knowing that this is a sad place, I went to Weizhou to come back. There have been many things in the seventeen years. Downstairs in Chunfan, Wan Tao grieves", let her and I This audience saw a sadness that could not escape fate.
The Dream of Three Youths
is said to be a story based on a real person.
The time of the story is 2005.
A bisexual decadent singer in a smoky outfit. Men fall for her, women despair for her. It was her, a premature, leaky heart, blind in the right eye, and a modern girl with epilepsy who required regular medication. The background music of this video is noisy, the dialogue is very unclear, and there are no subtitles, which makes me feel flustered and short of breath. At the end of the film, the subtitles of the director and performers slowly emerged with the accompaniment of music, and I was lying on the sofa for a long time without regaining my senses, thinking that the best time had never come.
