It took four hours and I finally finished it. It is said that this is a must-see movie for men. I didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence until the noodles and Mai Da met at the end. Including, when Mai Da took the noodles out of prison, he gave him a beautiful girl. Sometimes, I think, in fact, the friendship of men is really interesting.
"You see, I have a story too, Mr. Bailey. I had a friend once. A dear friend. I turned him in to save his life. He died. But he wanted it that way. Things went bad for my friend, and they went bad for me too." -
No Noodles movie has the loyalty and betrayal of a friendship written so much.
Nothing can be said.
Except for the two gray-haired old people, they looked at the past in silence, as if facing the ancient ocean, where the deepest human emotions are buried.
By the end, the noodles insisted on calling him Mr. Bailey because he thought his brother's name was Mai Da. But now, the only person with power and power who stole his money and women was a man named Mr. Bailey.
About love:
Throughout the film, I don't know if Deborah loves noodles. When he realized at the last moment before parting that Deborah would be gone forever, the anguish and desire that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time could only explode like a beast. Possesses Deborah's beauty and youth in a violent way. I was shocked and saddened to see him raping Deborah. But seeing the next day, after he raped her, she only half-drawn the train curtain, and slowly closed it when she saw him appear.
It was not until later that they were all old, Deborah became Mai Da's lover, and the noodles received an invitation from Mr. Bailey. When Deborah advised him not to participate, he said that he did not want to ruin their memories. It turned out to be... well, it was like fate.
About dreams:
Noodles has his dreams, Jimmy has his dreams, Deborah wants to be a big star...
But when everyone's dreams fall to pieces, we know, it's -- the loss of the American dream.
Alas, look over. Actually, a little heavy.
