A long time later, I saw this movie on my computer and cried. Such a good movie, I actually missed it.
And recently when it came out again, I decided to rewatch it. Before I got to the cinema, I could feel my heart beating restlessly and my throat tightening. I know that those tears that once pierced me will definitely make me burst out again.
Sure enough, when I left the movie theater, I felt that I had not recovered, and the tears were still fresh. I feel like I've been sitting for a long, long time, because in the dark, I have lived through ten years of other people's lives.
about love.
Li Qiao has two men, one is Li Xiaojun and the other is Brother Leopard.
Her original intention for Li Xiaojun was sympathy. She was also a mainlander, but she had a sense of superiority - I'm not a mainlander, I'm in Guangdong, we speak Cantonese, and we look and dress differently. She even took a commission from him and asked him to enroll in a copycat English class just like anyone else. Li Xiaojun never minds her prejudice and discrimination, he knows that he is not the same as her. Because of his homesickness and loneliness, he could only follow Li Qiao. Li Qiao seemed to know everything and was powerful, which opened the door to a new world for him.
But Li Qiao is not alone. She still hasn't integrated in Hong Kong, but Li Xiaojun's honesty and honesty seems to be a support. She can get company, hugs, warmth from him without having to ask for a result. Because: Li Xiaojun, the purpose of my coming to Hong Kong is not you, and the purpose of your coming to Hong Kong is not me. But the honesty and honesty of honest people are sometimes like thorns, which make people feel pain. He bought her and his fiancée bracelets of the same style, but he didn't even realize what was wrong. He had good intentions, but the good intentions made the other party uncomfortable and confused himself.
If your girlfriend has a male friend who you can talk to, they are often together, and occasionally that one, but they are just called good friends, are you happy for you?
We originally just wanted to snuggle to keep warm, but who would have thought that it would develop out of control, and each other's ideals became a little blurry. But we firmly believe that it is an unshakable ideal. Therefore, I will continue to struggle in Hong Kong, and you should continue to marry your mainland girlfriend.
Fortunately, there is Brother Leopard. When Zeng Zhiwei appeared, the girls behind laughed, but I knew I was going to cry next. Brother Leopard's Mickey Mouse tattoo is absolutely tender and heartbroken. Maybe Li Qiao was willing to be with Brother Leopard at first, but it was also part of the ideal, such as repaying loan sharks or something, but it turned out to be true later. If Li Xiaojun is a vague distraction and a longing, then Brother Leopard is a real support. He has experience in love and experience in all corners of the world. Compared with Li Xiaojun, who doesn't know what he wants and is cowardly, he is a negative. He was born and died, and he didn't want to settle down. He wanted to go to Taiwan to avoid the limelight, so he just sent a page to her.
"Silly girl, listen to me, go home now, take a hot bath, and get up tomorrow morning, there are men all over the street, all of them are better than Brother Leopard." Every time I see this, I will cry. I give you freedom, we are together now, but in the future you don't have to force it for me. Instead, she was willing to go to the end of the world with him. Although, there is no whitehead in the end, who said this is not love?
Li Xiaojun also has two women, Li Qiao grows beautifully, like a rose with thorns; Xiaoting is gentle and lovely, like a white narcissus.
Speaking of which, it feels like a red rose and a white rose, doesn't it? A little cliché, and a little helpless. What is rare is that Li Xiaojun was able to face his heart and confront Xiaoting. Although he said he is not a brave person, I think it is very difficult to do so, because many couples in modern marriages cannot even do this.
And Xiaoting, played by Yang Gongru, is not as weak as she imagined. She waited for so long, until her lover gained a firm footing, took her over, and happily married again. Who knew that her husband and that capable girl would have gotten along long ago. Such a plot, even today, makes people grit their teeth and directly post complaints on Tianya. She didn't have the bitterness and hatred of the old-fashioned woman, and she had a lot of trouble, although Li Xiaojun was asked to go back to the mainland with her at the beginning. However, she just said that she would still be her own dance teacher, although this job was also introduced by Li Qiao, and then said to Li Xiaojun, I don't need you by my side, it will increase my harm.
Look, in the business world, we need more self-growth. If we were in our hometown, this might not be the case, but, after all, we can't go back. Li Qiao, Li Xiaojun, and Xiaoting came to Huahua World, and they never thought about it or went back.
So what makes this movie deep and beautiful is not just love - love is everywhere - the English title of the movie is Comrade, almost a love story. It's almost a love story, but not all.
Like all those who have left their hometown, a certain county or a third-tier city, we have become a family of northern drifters, or white-collar workers in Shanghai. In short, we are eager to realize our ideals in the big city. It is complicated and indifferent, but there are still so many fresh scenery that my hometown does not have. Hong Kong has McDonald's that Wuxi does not have, and the United States also has a unique Statue of Liberty. For material things, or for parents and lovers to have better material things, we fight without hesitation. Li Qiao is willing to do anything. He works part-time at McDonald's, introduces staff and cleans the English class part-time. Later, he sells tapes, speculates in stocks, acts as a tour guide, and does real estate. It doesn't matter if he fails again. Fortunately, Hong Kong is like many big cities, there are opportunities, some people succeed, some people fail, and no one will care about your tears.
The transition period, or Hong Kong before the handover, just witnessed the struggle of this generation. It's tough, but also optimistic. The little girl who used to be penniless on the street and looked empty, finally one day she can drive a car on the street elegantly with makeup.
But when the plot of a generation, after the fall of Teresa Teng, the sudden loss can only be understood by those who have experienced it. Looking at the streets of New York, there is a vast sea of people with various skins and faces, and the Chinese people's heart is completely hidden in the crowd, which is extremely lonely. No one can talk about the poor and sad struggle years.
Fortunately, the director allowed the two to meet again because of this opportunity. But in real life, most people do not have such a fate to meet, or meet again, they are all dragging their families together.
So, let us shed all our tears in the cinema, in the dark, like those secret past stories that cannot be told, are all in other people's stories.
