Most of the truly classic movies were shot in the 90s. Entering the 21st century, the increase in the global box office does not mean the development of the film level. Looking around, the screens are flooded with traditional hero-mode movies like Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, XX, Superman, or commercial blockbusters with gorgeous scenes and pale content, such as Night Banquet full of golden armors. What, you said Chibi? Comedy films disguised as historical films are not in the scope of our discussion... So, let us revisit the classics 15 years ago. At that time, Tony Leung was still not married. Faye Wong wrote his name as Wang Jingwen. Takeshi Kaneshiro was still a handsome but slightly young young man. Wang Jiawei may have worn that silly sunglasses and swaggered around the market, but he was not so popular in Cannes, France. Purple (when he is red and purple, he can only make movies of the level of "2046" and "Blueberry Night")... The two parts of the film are unrelated (well, although they are Drinks bought at the same convenience store). The story of Takeshi Jincheng and Lin Qingxia is not coherent. They are just men and women with their own minds, meeting because of loneliness and exhaustion. The reason and ending are not important, the most outstanding thing is the dream-like monologues of the characters in the film. Lin Qingxia: "I don't know when I became a very careful person. Every time I wear a raincoat, I wear sunglasses. You never know when it will rain or when it will be sunny." This A woman with bright and dazzling blond hair will hide drugs with a skilful and calm technique, then step on her high heels and pull out a pistol to kill the betrayer smartly and neatly. Because of my inner anxiety and confusion, I have been wearing a dark green raincoat and big sunglasses. But she can still sleep peacefully after drinking, sweetheart, text message to Takeshi Kaneshiro's call machine saying happy birthday, and then disappear into the heavy rain in the night. So you will feel like Takeshi Kaneshiro, that this woman's feet in high heels are really slender, beautiful and feminine. Takeshi Kaneshiro’s role is simpler. He always mutters some childish but meaningful long sentences: "Everyone has a time when they are broken in love, and every time I am broken in love, I will go running, because running can change your body. The water evaporates and it makes me less likely to cry. How can I cry? In May's heart, I am a cool man." I don’t know when it starts. There is a date on everything. Saury will expire, canned meat will expire, and even plastic wrap will expire. I begin to doubt that there is anything in this world that will not expire. ? "Then you watch this handsome-faced child silently eat 30 cans of expired pineapple, or sit by Brigitte Lin's bed and watch a Cantonese feature film all night, and suddenly you feel distressed. Of course, our protagonist. It is Tony Leung and Faye Wong. Faye Wong is a girl with short hair and a loose unisex shirt in the film, she is too cute and personality, and listens to the song "California Dream". Then she met Tony Leung in the convenience store, this The little policeman who comes to buy coffee every night and is depressed because of his broken love, the corner of his right mouth rises slightly when he smiles, showing infinite tenderness (from Chongqing Forest to In the Mood for Love, I will be severely electrocuted by this expression every time...). I like it. What about him? The handsome face under the uniform? The caring and considerate attitude towards his girlfriend? Or the lonely appearance of disappearing into the night with a paper cup of coffee? By coincidence, she got the key to Tony Leung's room, so she started again. This time, he sneaked into his house when there was no one. He filled his aquarium with many beautiful tropical fishes, re-purchased large floral curtains with bright colors and tropical atmosphere, and replaced old soaps and torn towels with new ones. Yes, I also hung a red and blue checkered men’s shirt in the closet. Some plots were ridiculous in the middle, such as Faye Wong turning on the water pipe in the toilet of Tony Leung’s house to make a sloshing sound and then lied to my cousin that she was cooking. The market was unable to return due to rain. For example, Tony Leung looked at the Garfield doll on the bedside of Faye Wong but thought of the big white bear in his heart, so he said to it: "I used to think you were stupid, but now you look pretty cute. Well, but don't you make yourself dirty. Wasn't it good before, why did you make it yellow? Look, there is a big scar. Did you fight with others? "Tony Leung is a dull man. When he finally understood Faye Wong's intentions and put on that plaid shirt to ask her out, the girl hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to go to California. She hoped to use the distance between time and space to make the two Personal consideration is clear. Of course, after she returned to Hong Kong a year later, they still had a happy ending. Another thing worth mentioning is the theme song of the film, "California dream". California has appeared many times in movies. For example, Faye Wong suggested that the two travel to California together (Of course, Mu-Thaowei • Tony Leung responded: Well, I will talk about it later). I became a flight attendant in California... In fact, California appears very frequently in various musical works. The most famous song of the Eagles is "The hotel of California", and there is another popular country folk song called " It never rains in southern California". I used to wonder why the world loves California so much. Later, a friend of mine said: "In a place where nature is eternal, time is like still. Watching the sun rises and does not set for a long time, California's sunshine may be able to make Time stands still..." Well, the golden color is as warm and bright as the sun, this is how I feel after watching the film.
