It must be a good movie, gentle, delicate, rich and restrained like a pot of tomato oxtail soup that has been boiled for three days and three nights, you can't see the tomatoes or the oxtails, but your mouth is full of their aroma. But I can't like it no matter what, just like I do to Xu Anhua, she is the kind-hearted sister Tao. For decades, Hong Kong movies have used the name of literature and art to force her to the point where she was dying but did not dare to struggle, and she was dying but not dying.
As a new star born in the new wave of Hong Kong, because she was originally a talented female director, she was held in the position of flag bearer. The kind-hearted director Xu has nowhere to escape, even if it is a commercial film, he does not dare to stick to clichés. Just like Sister Tao, her 60-year employment career has turned her into a symbol that only understands kindness in the name of love. .
Sister Tao and Director Xu have never been married, because they both use their meticulous thoughts on life and work that they cannot distinguish, or their work has turned into a real dream. Roger's family will never be the relatives of Sister Tao, he is just Sister Tao's job, but Sister Tao has devoted her 60 years of time and affection to this warm and homely dream, and has no strength to pay attention to other real things. , so the three relationships in her life made her feel tacky and fishy, which may give us a glimpse of the reason why Director Xu never married.
Because all her dreams were kidnapped by the movie, this kidnapping was even worse than the kidnapping of Sister Tao by illusory family love. It made Director Xu constantly overdraw his talents, so that he fell into a situation of splitting and retreating. Besides, the reality The love of the movie will never reach the height of the movie, so she borrowed the mouth of Sister Tao to say, fishy!
Director Xu has a dense narrative ability, which is her innate talent, and she has a belief in artistic experimentation, as if she could give up everything for the film, but she just gave up everything in reality. Under all kinds of tangled concerns, she is sculpting her own works like a craftsman. She can never tell a story without distractions, but always try to elevate a plain story. This process makes him Desperate, hesitant to speak. The most obvious manifestation in Sister Tao is the vague mention of concern about the life of the elderly, but she has a shallow taste. She seems to have to bear the social responsibility of a director, so that the responsibility almost makes the film run poorly. She said that she never deliberately pleases the audience, she just doesn't please the public, but always pleases the small audience she imagines. Her literary atmosphere, stylization and deliberate requirements for structure have never hindered her films. , but her inexplicable sense of responsibility for the film on her back made the film uneasy and divided.
In Sister Tao's movie, Sister Tao finally entered Roger's family and left a photo of herself in the family portrait, and Xu Anhua seemed to be looking forward to her dream and oneness, but no one knew, I Even the exhausted Director Xu couldn't tell what kind of dream she was pursuing under the predicament of literature, art and feelings, and whether she could spend her life to integrate into this fantasy that made her so hard to breathe out loud.
She spent 30 years dreaming and reaching a realm that she was unable to achieve, which made her always conscientious and impulsive, just like a deep love without seasonings, boiled into a bowl of dense boiled water.
