It's an old movie, I've heard it many times, but I haven't watched it all the time. Generally, people will have two reactions to things that too many people like. One is to like them, and the other is to reject them. For this film, I just reject it, because I never like to watch romantic films, not to mention that it has such a sweet name. I don’t know Teresa Teng even more, so I can’t imagine how this film will be for me. has no meaning.
On a sultry afternoon, just because my mother said that I always watch foreign films, so she couldn't understand anything, so I dug out a few Chinese films at home, among which only "Sweet Honey" is a love literature and art I think it will be easier to suit my mother's taste~~
In this way, I first encountered this "sweet honey", from the black and white scene at the beginning of the film to the same black and white scene at the end, ten years have passed, fate is so clever and so funny. The wrong person back then was just a stranger, there is nothing to regret, and then I went around and found that it was you, the person I met was you, and after ten years, it was unbearable to pass by. It's like I rejected this film for ten years, I didn't know it back then, but now it's too late to meet...
Life is more than love, ideal is not the ultimate goal
This is not a simple love story. Chen Kexin gave this love a special era and regional cultural background. The two young people who came to Hong Kong from the mainland to seek their ideals were not each other's goals. They came together when they were working hard for their ideals, but they separated for their own ideals. Only in the end did they realize that life is all about life. Like a scam, the most important things turned out to be unimportant later.
Li Qiao's ideal is to become a Hong Konger, and Li Xiaojun's ideal is to marry Xiaoting. When two people from different worlds are pulled together, they insist on ignoring each other's feelings for the sake of their respective ideals. I don't know how many people have sighed that Li Qiao's last New Year's message "Long Live Friendship", I don't know how many people have lamented their dialogue at the crossroads, "Your purpose in coming to Hong Kong is not for me, and my purpose in coming to Hong Kong is also. not for you." Yes, there is more than love in life. They will not give up pursuing their ideals for the sudden arrival of each other, but is ideal really the ultimate goal? They didn't know that as early as they were on the way to pursue, the ideal had quietly changed.
When Li Qiao became a strong woman as she wished, when Li Xiaojun married Xiaoting as she wished, and when the two of them met again, why did everything change? but lost.
Li Qiao said, "We have all failed," with no emotion.
Love doesn't know where it came from, and it goes deeper and deeper. Many feelings often arise out of nowhere. Because they are too focused on pursuing their own world, they ignore the feeling of love, but those bits and pieces are unknowingly soaked into the body. Can't forget anymore.
Just like Li Qiao happily sitting on Li Xiaojun's bicycle and humming sweet honey, like Li Xiaojun can eat the dumplings left by Li Qiao, just like the buttons that are hard to be fastened one by one quickly. Unlock... there is love in every detail, but they didn't realize it at the time.
Then, once we separated, I realized that the feelings had been buried so deeply before I knew it, and I couldn't avoid it. Seeing Li Xiaojun going to ask for Teresa Teng's autograph, this singer who connected the two of them in the past, made Li Qiao unable to hold back any longer. Sadness, that unintentional car sound seemed to wake up the two dreamers in an instant.
Inspiration in the details
The characteristics of this film, the main line is clear, the protagonist's skills are profound, Maggie Cheung's acting skills in this film completely impressed me, worthy of being the queen, I admire it very much; and I have to mention that the auxiliary lines are also exceptionally brilliant, and the supporting roles are unprecedented. powerful. Many touching details not only appear between the male and female protagonists, but also appear between the various supporting roles.
For example, the English teacher who specializes in teaching people to scold people in English is actually Wong Kar Wai's royal photographer Du Kefeng. The role he plays looks vulgar and superficial on the surface, but he is immediately sublimated because of the last sentence that his girlfriend has AIDS. This is a love story. What a persistent and optimistic old man, no matter whether his girlfriend was a prostitute before, or she has AIDS, they are still so happy together~~
Another example is Brother Leopard, a character that I have to say. I believe he has touched many people, and he has also touched me. It's no wonder that Li Qiao chose to be with him back then. Such a triad boss with dragon and tiger tattoos all over his body would tattoo such a cute Mickey Mouse on his body for the girl he likes, which is so inconsistent with this man who licks his life on the knife edge. , but it made my eyes wet. The gang boss who once scolded Hong Kong was killed in the end by a group of gangsters on the streets of New York, which made people lament the ups and downs of fate. In the end, when Li Qiao asked people to turn him over to identify him, the Mickey Mouse on Brother Leopard's back appeared again, which moved me beyond measure.
And Li Xiaojun's aunt, for an unforgettable night, remembered the person who has never been seen for a lifetime, and with so much happiness... Fate is so impermanent, when we pursue our ideals, we miss love , When we want to find love, there are so many involuntarily in our life. After repeated misses and losses, fortunately, fate allowed us to find each other again.
Ten years later, we saw that Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun stopped and met in the same window because of Teresa Teng's death. On the streets of a foreign land, looking at each other and smiling, it's you, so it's you...
