Touching a young woman's hand and a young man's abs

Although this movie is called a classic, it took only three days to finish watching it. If you want to say classic, I am afraid it is Hou Hsiao-hsien's long shot, right? In addition, if you consider the background of the era in 1989, it should be relatively rare for movies to reflect the changes of the times with personal lives. "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" that appeared later should also be somewhat influenced by this movie. However, I still prefer Anzhe's feeling. Maybe Taiwan is too hot, maybe the Taiwanese language is too soft, maybe it doesn't resonate with Taiwan's small society.

However, the scene in the movie looking for the lady to accompany the wine. I suddenly thought of men. I don't understand why middle-aged and elderly men are particularly interested in women at the wine table, including women who accompany wine. Touching her little hand, she was full of affection, and said a few smug jokes in her righteousness to win the lady's cheap laugh or something. But think about it if you change your position, if during dinner, a few young and beautiful young men come in and sit next to you and let you put your hand under the clothes and touch his abs or something, I should be very excited too! Of course, embarrassing things are another matter. So, I was relieved. That's what happened. A straight man with a lady's touch is indeed a hundred times happier than a gay without abs~

    4.5. Hou Hsiao-hsien's narrative material and textual meaning are organized the best. But it is still inseparable from the emotional pain of Taiwanese living in the shadow of 228. Xin Shufen's image is the finishing touch (fortunately, Yi Nengjing resigned from this role), and it is only because of her appearance that the gloomy and dark atmosphere is brought to an idealistic side. Without her, the vibe of the film would have collapsed in half.

    The pinnacle of Taiwan's new film, the psychological rhythm of oriental connotation, the poetic style of prose structure, simplifying and weakening the dramatic conflict; 222 shots, long mirror and low light, subtitle narrative written by dumb people, diary narration female voice main line; ordinary people under the February 28 incident, People on the political fringes, the changing banner of the city head, the epic across the ages, the resonance of family misfortune. Tony Leung, who can't speak Mandarin, and Xin Shufen, who is the last of Xiying, have endless tastes in the soundtrack. 89 Golden Lion
