I haven't seen a lot of Hou Hsiao-hsien's films, so I can't analyze the origin of these three dreams one by one from the evolution of the shooting style. This is only the first time I have seen meaningful moments in Hou Hsiao-hsien's long, undisciplined life.
The main purpose of changing the short review into a long review is to knock down Zhang Zhen's letter word by word:
Miss Xiumei:
Still remember me? The guy who pooled with you before enlisting. Time flies so fast, it's been three months in the blink of an eye. The spring rain is continuous, at this moment, the Beatles song
Not a single extra sentence, but with a proper sense of wetness.
In 1966, people used Hokkien mixed with Mandarin, and the speed at which letters were delivered controlled the rhythm of feelings. The beautiful eyes in the billiards room couldn't help but drift towards Ah Zhen. The most ordinary conversations were filled with vague feelings, waiting, searching, city by city, for the sake of a young man who might not have an end. The two finally met, and the conversation was a few words, but in the beautiful smile and coy, we knew that A Zhen's search had a considerable echo. There is not a single superfluous word, but they can communicate with each other, and young men and women have a well-balanced love thought, clean and tidy.
In 1911, in the silent film, only the babbling of Nanyin was sung. As far as I was concerned, it not only restored the image form of that era, but also symbolized the suppression of my own voice. Yidan and the poet have been husband and wife for many years, and he talked to her about his ambitions, ideals, his career with Mr. Liang, and his depression. She is gentle and considerate enough to satisfy the readers' ultimate fantasy of meeting a bosom friend on the Fengyue Field. On the bright side, we see this man with lofty ideals working freely for the world, and generously donating money for the freedom of a little girl. What is brewing silently in the dark thread is Yidan's hope and disappointment for freedom.
After many nights talking about Mr. Liang, Yidan finally asked the poet, "Have you ever thought about my life?" Maybe I thought about it, I should have thought about it, but how can a revolutionary party who opposes having concubines disagree with his words and deeds, and make people talk about it. Yidan's interrogation flooded the empty city. The poet runs and screams for the freedom of the world, but he cannot give the happiness of freedom to the person he loves. From this point of view, he is not free like her.
The poet's letter has arrived again, still only the family and the country, and nothing else. Yidan regained his forbearance and grace as always. This is a silent and sad story. In Zhang Ailing's words, they are a white bird on a depressing purple satin screen. They are old, their feathers are dark, they are moldy, and they die on the screen. The most amazing thing is that in the whole film, except for Liang Qichao, the two hardly talk about anything else, but behind these Liang Qichao, it is clearly the helplessness of love.
In 2005, the way people communicated became pixelated words and exclamation marks. (In my superficial understanding) Human connection is readily available, people become frivolous, feelings and desires are unchecked, and people become indulgent and hysterical. The prodigal Zhang Zhen exudes a hormonal scent, and the heavy metal version of Shu Qi is very charming under the outline of the blue light, but I still have to ask the question in my heart: If the first two stories, the director has grabbed what he thinks is the most age-old Two poetic fragments, so in the 21st century, are we only left with this kind of non-mainstream dog blood with broken hearts, corrupt indulgence, and suicide for love? ? ? The beauty that comes from the trial of ugly is like the criticism of the times by Baudelaire and Wen Yiduo, the real name of girls in the 21st century is sad.
But Shu Qi x Zhang Zhen is a perfect match. From the hairy boy and the young girl, to the gentleman and Wen Wanyidan, to the prodigal son and the prodigal girl, each pair is so stubborn, I even feel it from the process of watching the movie When it comes to the fun of couples playing cosplay...
