After a long period of sleep deprivation, I was finally able to take a long nap. After waking up and feeling sleepy, I took out the movie list from the bottom of the box, "It's Hong Kong Tomorrow", let's watch this one today, because the place where the story takes place is the mysterious and romantic Hong Kong, which is where I live now. place.
Watching this Hong Kong love encounter sketch in the due period is like tasting the cream on top of the cake, a romantic escape from the boring homework. This sentence in the hot comment is teasing me:
"Nothing happened, just like it didn't rain, but the sky was full of dark clouds and the air was humid. The hero and heroine seemed to be looking forward to a spring rain,
- but afraid of getting wet - "
American Josh, who has lived in Hong Kong for ten years, met Ruby, a Chinese-American who was lost in Hong Kong for the first time. On the way to send Ruby to meet his friends, along with humorous dialogue and charming night scenes, a tacit understanding gradually developed between the two. Ambiguous breath.
Does this plot sound like some shadows of the "Love Is" trilogy ("Love Before Dawn", "Love Before Sunset and Dusk", "Love Before Midnight")? Some people say that this is a Hong Kong city propaganda film, and the famous attractions of Hong Kong have been visited all over the place.
The male protagonist Josh said that he studied English literature in college, and finally chose reality and got an MBA. Although he now has a considerable income, he has always had a dream of becoming a novelist in his heart.
Actress Ruby dreams of opening a fashion boutique and becoming the next Vera Wang, but instead becomes a toy designer.
Passing through Central from Lan Kwai Fong, josh pointed to the HSBC building and said, my office is here, it's 11 o'clock on a Friday night, and behind the lit windows are people still working. Hong Kong is an extremely fast-paced city, and his former company boss once had a mantra that impressed him: "Come on, everyone, it's tomorrow in Hong Kong !" And that's where the title of the film comes from.
“I had a boss when I was living in New York and he said: Let's hustle people. It's already tomorrow in Hong Kong. And that phrase — that phrase like really stuck with me, because it's so fast paced here. It really is already tomorrow.”
During this journey, they walked through Lan Kwai Fong, Central Mid-levels escalator, and Gaslamp Street. Josh, who has been in Hong Kong for many years, showed Ruby the way and introduced famous places in Hong Kong. The two chatted from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. When we talk about dreams at work, the more we talk, the more speculative we become, the more we can feel the tacit understanding of each other.
However, when the audience felt "wow, enough of the ideals, it's time to move on to the next part to talk about feelings", Josh confessed that he has a girlfriend, and the party just now was his girlfriend's birthday, because his girlfriend's Slightly out of line, he smoked a suffocating cigarette outside by himself, and then met Ruby.
The twists and turns, the truth of the dog blood surprised Ruby and the audience, and the romantic encounter ended unhappy.
Of course, the story has to go on.
In this fast-paced space, the hero and heroine met for the second time, on the Star Ferry.
After a year's lapse of this encounter, talking about speculation and sightseeing in Hong Kong has escalated again. With the experience and lessons of the last time, the male and female protagonists disclosed the situation of their existing partners from the beginning. The male protagonist Josh has quit his glamorous job. He followed Ruby's advice and began to pursue his dreams and write novels. Except for Ruby, no one around him supports him.
Josh accompanied Ruby to Chungking Mansions to help Ruby's boyfriend get a suit jacket. He bargained with the boss in fluent Cantonese. Passing by Victoria Harbour, the two discussed the unaccustomed places in Hong Kong, from food to habits. Then, Josh took Ruby to the best place for seafood in Jordan. They went to the food stalls on Temple Street to eat spicy crab, walked through the night market, sat down at the fortune-telling stall, and went to the bistro that Josh is most familiar with. Watch a friend's show.
The night was dark, and the body was slightly drunk and danced happily with the gradually thickening atmosphere.
No one can turn down a night like this.
Until they met Josh's girlfriend's good friend, the two fell into an embarrassing situation again. During the short drive to send Ruby home, the hero and heroine tried to clarify the relationship between the two, the passion of romance and the original burden of life. In the responsibilities, what choice will the two make?
The most ingenious is the ending of the movie. The taxi stopped, and the driver who couldn't wait urged him to say, "Hurry up, the meter is still going, Do you want one more stop?" Or just leave it alone and stop looking for her..."

The open ending leaves us more fantasy, and the end of the movie is the beginning of the development of the real world story. Strolling on and off Hong Kong Island, the subtle and ambiguous feelings are kept secret. Regardless of the future, enjoy the heartbeat of this moment. It turns out that the best way to fall in love in Hong Kong is to chat and chat late at night .
In my opinion, stories of various flavors are happening at the intersections that I pass by every day in class. Hong Kong, a place where diverse cultures collide and integrate properly, there are more stories with the same flavor as the city. This film, It is one of them.
People always look forward to Hong Kong with its colorful neon lights. Maybe something will happen on my way to class tomorrow...
