Coincidentally, I just revisited "Sweet Honey" for the third time a few days ago. A closer look reveals a similar taste.
Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao met in Hong Kong, fought together and shared weal and woe. When the relationship was born, Li had a fiancee, Xiaoting, who was waiting for him in the mainland. He fell in love with Li Qiao, but he was always "loyal" to his promise and married Xiaoting. It was not until she met Li Qiao again after marriage that she knew who she loved more, so she bravely chose to divorce Xiaoting.
On Li Qiao's side, she met the underworld boss Leopard Brother who gave her everything when she was at her worst. Mickey Mouse tattooed on the back, "Don't think about your old love anymore, I'm done, I'll ask you to have morning tea together", "Silly girl, go back and take a hot bath and sleep well, tomorrow will be filled with men. All of them are better than Brother Leopard"... The understanding and love for her is beyond words, which made Li Qiao unable to stop, and finally followed him on the boat to escape and traveled the world.
But at the end of the story, in 1995, in front of the window of New York, Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao stopped, reunited, smiled at each other ten years later, and the song "Sweet Honey" played behind the scenes still made many audiences can't stop, weeping with emotion, big Call complete.
Can you simply define any of the middle stories? To love or not to love? There are many possibilities for the growth and disappearance of feelings. In addition to mistaking "not bad" for "I like it", which one is not embarrassing?
However, reality and movies are different after all. One of the differences is that Brother Leopard in the movie is dead. If Brother Leopard hadn’t died, it’s hard to say whether Li and Li would still be together even if they meet again in New York; the second is the biggest difference – there are no children in the movie. fetters. This is the most criticized part of Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse's reconciliation. Those who reviled are talking about their children.
I have no intention of commenting on right and wrong, nor dare I jump to conclusions, and I have no predictions about the direction of the story. After all, it's someone else's story. It's just that the movie and reality just rubbed off a spark, and what I saw was more complicated psychology.
It is good that Li Xiaojun and Xiaoting marry and have children in their hometown without going to Hong Kong to fight. It is also good that Li Qiao builds a big house and raises children with Brother Leopard. Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao are different people after ten years. OK.
Cecilia Cheung, Nicholas Tse, the golden boy, the jade girl, and the little prince are good. It is also a good thing that Li Yapeng cherishes Faye Wong to jointly manage the Yanran Fund. It is a rare legend that Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse are able to hold hands again after 11 years of divorce.
So why black and white? The choices made at different times will be different. There is no way to draw a score sheet, and to judge "pass" or "fail" according to the established values.
We are growing up, and the 11-year-old sibling relationship is no longer groundbreaking. Why is the party not? There is destiny, there is fate, there is clutch, there is gain and loss. Layer upon layer, turn a thousand times. Their joys, sorrows and sorrows can only be tasted by them, and we only need to choose the part we like to watch, and everyone is happy.
