The works directed by Xu Laoguai, whether it is music, camera shots, dialogues or monologues, are just right, naturally feel happy and happy, or uncomfortable and sad. He should not be called Laoguai, but a genius.
1. Unfamiliar with life
The background of the story is Vietnam in 1974. The war is about to break out, the political situation is turbulent, and the people are panicked. Two overseas Chinese Ah Mark and his cousin Ah Ming came to Vietnam to pick up his father, Uncle Song, back to Hong Kong. After going through hardships, thanks to the help of a man named Ah Jie, her identity has always been a mystery.
2. To avoid the end, he chose to avoid the beginning of everything
In a movie of three people, there is always one person who has to quit. I admire Mark's courage, he just let go of his feelings and never dragged his feet. But his heart will also hurt, perhaps this is helpless. Brother seems to be right, Mark treats brothers better than women. But when two brothers fight for the same woman, in the end, how can they face each other?
3. Happy times are always short
The days of playing with Mark and Amin may be the happiest time of Ajie's life, but unfortunately, the "song of the sunset" is also playing, and those days will end with the sun.
4. Which troubled world did not leave
Uncle Song is going to follow Amin and the others back to their hometown, leaving the eighth day to guard the pharmacy. In this world, in addition to death, life and separation are so uncomfortable that people want to cry.
5. Everything is a matter of life
Although Amin and Mark successfully brought Abba back to Hong Kong, Uncle Song was finally killed by the flower basket sent. Then what's the point of coming back this time, which made Amin unable to figure out. Could it be that what cannot be explained can only be explained by fate?
6. "Prison" situation
Several times in a row, Amin, Amark, and the others were taken to a hut by the Vietnamese police. This atmosphere and scene reminded me of Uncle Lin's "Prison".
7. People are knives, I am fish
Perhaps the hardest thing in life is making choices, but perhaps even more chilling than it is, there is no choice. Yes, some people can rely on money, some people can rely on power... But there are many, many people who have nothing, and in that troubled time, how many Vietnamese people were used as bargaining chips on the trading table Woolen cloth? Heart photo.
8. Heroes cherish each other as enemies and friends
He Changqing can't be said to be a bad person, because of Ajie, he and Amark became rivals; because of her, they both pointed their guns at Sangbang together.
9. The sunset is infinitely good but only near dusk
Ajie finally closed his eyes and left. The sun sets, where will Mark and Amin go? How long will the song of the rivers and lakes that belong to them be sung?
