Hong Kong moves fast, but love is slow

I like this character setting.

Hong Kong, on the border of East and West, white boys who can speak fluent Cantonese, and American girls with yellow faces but completely Western. Hong Kong's busy traffic, bustling streets and the presence of Hong Kong people in the market make this movie more immersive than "Love Is".

Love often happens in the smell of fireworks, but only these two people can understand each other in the fireworks.

Love also often happens by accident, and kindness can turn into love.

The film also talks about things other than love.

For example, whether there is love between people who cannot communicate verbally.

For example, an individual's preference for a certain race.

For example, the influence of cultural environment on future life.

For example, Chinese and Western values: the balance between individual struggle and individual value.

It also uses the image (or pursuit) of a female gold worshipper with a playful expression, the neglect of intellectual property rights in China, and the bridge (VPN) connecting the world.

Open ending. The cab table is still dancing, Hong Kong is always faster than other places. But I saw a very beautiful and slow story that happened in Hong Kong.

    Looking at a love story from a foreign perspective, it is very "love", but the dialogue is obviously not so delicate. The interpretation of Hong Kong's urban landscape and culture is not bad, and the chicken thief ends in the choice between showing love and restraint. between. I miss a section of the central flyover where ghosts hit the wall and Lan Kwai Fong, which can’t be reached, the reverberation of the moist and salty sea water by the Victoria Harbour, and the retro city spirit of the Star Ferry, and the satiety of a Yau Ma Tei Snake Soup supper all night long. After the end of the night movie, there are still crowds of people passing through the Central Transfer Road.
