Today, I'm going to talk about this Hong Kong movie called "Dark War". It doesn't have the cool special effects like "Avengers", nor the romantic love like "Titanic". But it affected my view of Hong Kong movies, and it changed my view of love for a time. "Dark War" tells the IQ showdown between two men who are rivals. It is a man's movie, and strictly speaking, there is no heroine. I've seen a lot of high-IQ crime movies like this. So, I'm not going to talk about the cops and thieves in this movie. I'll talk about the love in this movie, yes, a movie that can almost be said to have no heroine, I'll talk about the love in it. In the movie, this so-called heroine only appeared three times and said a few lines. Many friends who have seen this movie think she is a heroine without a name. In fact, she has the name "Liang Wanting". It may be that the rivalry between the two male protagonists conceals the existence of this female protagonist, or it may be that she is so insignificant that we did not notice that she mentioned her name. It is such a heroine that I can't forget for a long time after watching the movie. The heroine appeared on the minibus three times. For the first time, the thief male protagonist threatened the female protagonist with a pistol in order to escape the pursuit of the police in the minibus, and asked her to cooperate with him to pretend to be a couple. The first time we met, one was panicked and the other was vigilant. Each regards the other as a hurried passerby. The second time, the thief hero and heroine met again on the minibus. This time, the thief male protagonist is not evading the pursuit of the police, but a normal ride. However, when the siren sounded, the heroine thought that, like last time, the hero needed her own cover, so she voluntarily gave up the seat next to the hero to cooperate with the hero. Like the last time, the two pretended to be lovers. It's just that this time the police didn't come for the male protagonist, but the minibus driver illegally ran the red light. The two looked at each other and smiled, one prophet and one hindsight. In the sea of people, for people who thought they would never meet again, when they met again, they would have some good feelings in their hearts. The female protagonist deliberately sat down with the male protagonist to the terminal and made an appointment to have dinner with the male protagonist. This time the female protagonist introduced her identity. It's just that this time is not as everyone thinks, the hearts of the two are close to each other, because the male protagonist knows that time is short. "It's a pity that I don't have time", "What if I have time?" This person's words and questions made me ponder. Yes, life is full of regrets, why not cherish the moment? The second time we met, one was sorry and the other was regretful. The last time, at the end of the film, the heroine did not meet the thief hero again in the minibus, but met the police hero. The police hero accidentally saw the 80 million diamond necklace on the neck of the heroine that was stolen by the thief hero that day. It was just an ordinary necklace that the heroine thought was a few hundred dollars. The third encounter is between two people whose fates are intertwined with the thief male protagonist. One is indifferent and the other is nostalgic. At the end of these few minutes, I admire director To Qifeng very much, he used a happy scene to complement the grief. As for the sadness with happy scenes, my understanding is only in poetry. This is the first time I have felt this kind of feeling in a movie. Some people say that Du Qifeng implied a lot of things in the final camera movement. Maybe I didn't understand it enough. I watched this clip many times, but I didn't see the hidden meaning behind it. I just felt that something in this clip was attracting me. I have seen many movies, met many movie heroines, and experienced many different kinds of love. However, few people can replace Liang Wanting's place in my heart. Mysterious and silent, the fragments are perfect. There is nowhere in life, we meet by chance, and I hope that it will pass by in a moment. Many people who have watched the movie want to use some words or words to describe the love in the movie, but I don't think many people can describe such a love. Some people say that love is like a shooting star, streaking across the night sky, mysterious and beautiful. Comes brilliantly, and is gone in an instant. If I have to describe it, I would like to use a poem by Bai Juyi—come like a spring dream when there is not much time, go like a cloud without a place to find it.
