After Wong Kar Wai, Johnnie To's films slowly eroded my soul, making me more and more partial to Hong Kong culture. In a leisurely afternoon, drink a cup of milk tea and eat a sandwich. I like Cantonese songs, watch Cantonese soundtrack movies... Hong Kong is a must-go place in my lifetime. Look at the streets where so many good movies have been filmed, look for traces of my brother, look at Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Huang Rihua, Lau Ching Wan, Johnnie To, Wong Kar Wai, etc., the places where my beloved actors and directors lived...
in the dark war The soundtrack is a piece of music that I like very much, also by Huang Yinghua. The main musical elements here are Scottish bagpipes and vocals. As we all know, Scottish bagpipes generally appear at funerals in Hong Kong, which can basically be recognized as a death theme. But in addition to the desolate bagpipes, there are also mysterious chants and increasingly high-pitched male harmony, and then loud whistles. The theme of fate, which basically laid the sad tone of the film, this is definitely not a simple story of confrontation between good and evil.
Meng Jiahui always appeared on the bus, feeling a little strange. But the pure performance is still fresh in my memory after watching it in 1999 for many years. In the film, I think she must be very strange, what kind of person Hua is, suddenly appearing and disappearing in her own life. The last thing to give to yourself is also a bargain. Only Hua knew the value of that necklace, and so did his feelings for her.
Liu Qingyun was still very young at that time, and every time I saw his performance, I could easily move me. The feelings between Hua and Yun are both enemies and friends. In the film, only the two of them know the real story. So in the end I heard Liu Qingyun say that he might appear suddenly and jump on you at that time. Impressed.
Johnnie To's Black Fate movie, I like it very much.
ps Does anyone think the soles of Pian Zhongzi's shoes are so thick...
