Chatting while walking and eating Jordan seafood on the Star Ferry

I love a walk-and-talk movie. I also love Hong Kong. So the combination of these two elements caught my eye. The overall story is pretty good, it's more realistic like what happens in your life and mine. From the perspective of Westerners, the localization part is just right and convincing. This is a foreigner's Hong Kong.

Josh and Ruby are obviously very playful, but the final open ending did not give an answer. The role of such a movie ultimately makes the audience think, if such a thing happened to him, what would he do?

If there is a boy who can talk to you, he and you are walking in Hong Kong in the middle of the night to see the only four kerosene lamps left in Hong Kong. He will take you to the mid-level elevator and go to the small bar next to Lan Kwai Fong. In fact, whether it's the first half, the glamorous he shows you his office downstairs in the Hang Seng headquarters, or the second half, wearing a checkered shirt to take you to eat crabs for supper, I can't resist such charm, I'm sorry. Hahahahahaha, all this is too much to poke my point, just based on this, it seems to be a bit distorted.

In fact, there are also very cliche parts of the story. For example, two people have their own objects, but they meet each other again. But one point I like very much is that the hero and heroine did not fall in love with each other inexplicably, but struggled with themselves, confused, and questioned. These parts make this story not fall into the cliché. In the second half, I always felt that Ruby wanted to prove that Sam and Josh were not suitable, but Josh himself said it, and Sam actually supported him. That's probably because love will also expire, and the good feelings that have been there can only be established in a certain period of time and space. "If this happened to me", this kind of assumption really can't be established, because their stories in the movie are so different from my own life experience, and now I really don't know how to choose.

However, the movie also has a very good role, which is to weave a beautiful dream for you, which may be a sweet and astringent memory of the past, or a longing for the future. So obsessed with that feeling: when you go to Mong Kok, someone tells you that the weather is bad and tells you to go home early, and then tells you which convenience store has the ice cream you want to eat, and tells you not to eat the unsanitary Mala Tang on the street . (Sorry, the past is meaningless!) In the future, if you can walk with someone in the city late at night, chat about things, and go into a restaurant to have a late-night snack and drink iced drinks when you are tired, I think it should be Good memory.

This movie made me spend an hour happily in my dull life, a Tuesday when there are a lot of things to do but don't want to do, it's worth it, recommend! !

Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong quotes

  • Ruby: I've always been intrigued with expats.

    Josh: Yeah?

    Ruby: Yeah. I mean, they always gave the impression that living abroad is so glamorous. But when my grandparents immigrated to the States from Hong Kong, their journey is anything but glamorous.

    Josh: You see that?

    Ruby: Yeah?

    Josh: That's my office right there.

    Ruby: It almost makes it worth being a banker.

    Josh: All those lights on in the offices. It's 11:00 in a Friday night. Those are all people working. It isn't as glamorous as it looks.

    Ruby: Guess not.

  • Josh: There's something very wrong with your city when the only good thing you have going for it is the weather.
