Maggie Cheung, you are so beautiful

Later, I decided to watch a less literary and less boring film, and I chose "China Box" among the piles of plates. The heroine is Aunt Gong Li, and the hero is the hero of "Lolita". The stepfather, Maggie Cheung, also plays a characterful young woman in the movie.

The director is the director of "The Joy Luck Club": Wang Ying. "The Joy Luck Club" is very famous. I haven't seen it, but I remember that there is a bar called The Joy Luck Club in Jinli.

Gong Li is still too earthy. Although Maggie Cheung has half of her face disfigured, her eyes are still very, very beautiful in the DV.

The plot is the love that those few people worked hard to wait for, either shattered or disappeared, in the context of 97 Hong Kong.

My personal favorite is:

1. The male protagonist's studio and home, although the paint on the walls has peeled off and is very old, it is still a very comfortable place, with Chinese-style red cloth, green wooden windows, Small bed, whole wall of DV book collection. Some people like to look at clothing, my hobby is watching interior design in movies and TV. Personally, I think the design in the Korean movie "Beauty" is good.

2. The DV filmed by the male protagonist and his friends in the homes of ordinary citizens, vegetable markets, dog pens and other places in Hong Kong. Those shaking and blurry images, even Aunt's smile gave people a sense of despair.

I don't believe in love anymore, so the plot in it can't move me, only the details of life attract my attention.

By the way, the young man who committed suicide in the opening film surprised me a little.

    The director and screenwriter profoundly demonstrated the inferiority complex of that generation of Chinese men

    It seems that many people say this film is bad, but I like it, but I can't say why.

Chinese Box quotes

  • Party Guest: You were talking about democracy. Don't forget that Hong Kong never had democracy, and Hong Kong never asked for democracy, and didn't get it until 1984. But having been given it as a present, it might miss it if it's taken away again.

  • John: You must get a piece of jade, and keep it close. Then your blood will go into the stone, and the stone will get into your blood. The blood will then become stone, and you will stop bleeding.
