The group mentioned that it will soon be the 20th anniversary of the release of "City of Sadness", so they decided to watch the film in a quiet night. Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies, I have watched a few of them, but I haven't finished them yet. Often when I have nothing to do by myself, I feel in the...

The first time I watched "City of Sadness", it was about 8 or 9 years ago. I only heard about the stories in it, but didn't know the details. Later, with the passage of time, the remaining impressions are the ever-changing language, Tony Leung's ineffable speech, and the shaky picture. Looking at...

When I watched it for the first time, a few simple sets of shots actually made me foggy. In fact, spoilers are not a bad thing. People who know the direction of the story can also pay attention to the whole movie, how to narrate, how to arrange characters and paragraphs. Because I watched Hou...

Although the cherry blossoms of the same luck are flying, I will come later. Everyone is the same. This bland and poignant little poem is written by a Taiwanese Japanese expatriate who is about to return to China in "Sad City". Kuanrong Kuanmei brothers and sisters. Poeticized from the suicide note...

After coming back from Taiwan, I didn't set about making travel notes, but watched two Taiwanese movies, one is Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness", and the other is Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet". I found that it happened to be a "sad" and a "happy", then, just a few words between sorrow and joy....

Once a person is born, many things are doomed and cannot be changed. Escaping the barriers of fate is not something that everyone can do. Don't take the minority as the bible. After all, they are the minority, and the majority have no chance of fighting. Once in the world. Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City...

Bypass the bustling old streets, after going up the mountain and down to the sea, calm down and turn to the Shengping Theater in the alley to watch "Sad City". As Zhu Tianwen said in the movie, I didn't ask them when I signed the Shimonoseki Treaty, I didn't ask them when the Japanese colonized,...

How many kinds of world images can a film contain and how many kinds of emotions it can display and reconcile. "City of Sadness" seems to be testing the audience's unbearable burden. This may be biased. Hou Hsiao-hsien returns to that era in a visual way. Jianghu flavor, market flavor, gunpowder...

In Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness", all the characters are ordinary little people. In a period of major historical change, no one can be spared, even if you are a deaf-mute who is indifferent to the world, honest and kind. You don't care about politics, but politics will definitely care about...

Hou Hsiao-hsien's film has a very high value in terms of history and film. It is a classic work in Taiwan's film history.   The first shot of the film shows the Japanese emperor's surrender edict on the radio, while a middle-aged man burns incense because his wife is about to give birth. What made...
