One is Wang Jiamei, a 16-year-old mainland girl, who followed her remarried mother to Hong Kong, speaking poor Cantonese and not fitting in.
The other is Ding Zicong, a fat boy with a miserable childhood, who barely made ends meet by driving a truck in his early twenties. The blow of a broken heart left him devastated.
Jiamei chose a beautiful way to leave, suffocating to death in joy. It was the fat boy who helped her complete it.
"It turns out that such a thin person also has so much fat. There is a form but no spirit, a spirit but no soul."
The damp and cramped public housing, the dirty and narrow streets, this is another side of Hong Kong. Excluding the shining Victoria Harbour and the towering office buildings, the people in the story are like lonely wandering souls in this city. They don't have rooms with a view, but only loneliness that is more terrible than death. 0 reply

The fashionable intellectual style of Annie Hall
Maybe Woody Allen himself didn't know that Annie Hall, which he wrote, directed and acted in, was not only the only work in his film career that won him the Oscar for Best Director, but also a masterpiece in people's hearts 46 years later.
In addition to the plot and values that movie fans pay attention to, the presentation of clothing has attracted everyone's attention. He put "suits" and "trousers", which were considered "exclusive to men" at the time, on the heroine, and set off a trend of "women dressed as men" on the screen.
When filming Annie Hall started, Ruth Morley directly let Diane Keaton create at will, so the costumes in the movie were either taken directly from her closet or bought from the Ralph Lauren brand and then worn on the screen.
These dressing styles that emphasize comfort, practicality, and look extremely confident have inspired many women and set off a trend of wide-leg pants for women's professional wear. 0 reply

When she raised her sickle to kill, no one did not cheer for her
"The Story of Kim Bok-nam's Murder Case" is a powerful and moving movie, recommended to every woman.
The first half of the film is dark and depressing. There is endless farm work to do, endless beatings, and endless curses to hear, but Bok-nam still smiles, because Hae-won's arrival makes her imagine that she can still get warmth.
Her brother-in-law can rape her unscrupulously, her husband can bring prostitutes back, and she eats outside the door like an animal, holding a basin and listening to her aunt's curses.
Hae-won was the only person who had shown kindness to Bok-nam. Even if it was not true, it was Bok-nam's fantasy of all the beautiful things in the world. However, fantasy is fantasy after all... Many people don't understand why Bok-nam didn't kill Hae-won. In her heart, Hae-won represents the life she longs for, and this beautiful yearning is to be protected at the cost of death. 0 reply

Chen Kaige's best film, "King of Children", is seriously underestimated.
The film tells the story of educated youth going to the countryside. In 1966, students stopped classes to make revolution, and the Red Guard organization emerged.
The film takes us into the spiritual world of educated youth who went to the countryside with an observer's attitude, without any subjective evaluation, and shows the absurdity of education during the Cultural Revolution.
Education bound by rules and regulations has long lost the most authentic and natural learning attitude. This is what Chen Kaige wants to express through the image of Lao Ganer.
The desire to fight against the times and break through the cage was eventually extinguished bit by bit, and the fate of the individual was eventually swept away in the torrent of history.
Back to today, in some aspects, similar times and fates seem to be happening again, but even so, each individual is still a person who is looking for light in the cracks. 0 reply

An experimental film starring Yu Hua, Acheng, Wang Shuo and other writers
The biggest feature of "Poetic Age" comes from its cast, which includes several important figures in the Chinese writer circle at that time: Acheng, Wang Shuo, Yu Hua, Lin Bai, Chen Cun, Xu Xing, Fang Fang, Xu Lan, Zhao Mei, Ding Tian, Ma Yuan, Mian Mian
The film was shot in 1999, but due to various reasons, it failed to pass the review and was backlogged in the Film Bureau for many years. After being renamed "The Obscure" in 2006, it was released in a small range
This is a film that is more experimental than ornamental, and it is also a revolutionary move. The director removed the framework of documentary and feature film and put the two on the same topic and space for free dialogue.
Each writer in the film expressed his own views on "what is poetry", but in fact, how the writer views poetry is not important. What is important is that talking about poetry itself is a kind of sentiment, or a pursuit. 0 reply

It's so sad, a group of children left to fend for themselves. "Nobody Knows"
The Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda's "Nobody Knows" is based on a real social news. Single mother Keiko gave birth to four children, 12-year-old eldest son Ming, 11-year-old daughter Kyoko, 5-year-old son Shigeru, and 3-year-old daughter Xiaoxue. They come from four unidentified fathers.
Keiko is the kind of person who is beautiful only when she is seen under the lights. She has huge bags under her eyes.
The camera stays in this narrow room, recording the lives of these four children and their fate.
However, no one knows all this.
This is a tragedy, but there is no resentment or hatred in the movie, nor is there crying or shouting. The temperament is calm and calm, the light is bright, and the music is brisk. It is calm, but not indifferent. Only in a long gaze can you feel the deep despair, fear and unwillingness.
The movie also reveals an extremely powerful force: that is the energy of life trying to survive. 0 reply

My film history | "The Assassin" One person, no one like him
Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Assassin" is adapted from Tang Pei Xing's legend "Nie Yinniang", and won the Best Director Award in the competition unit of the 68th Cannes Film Festival for this film.
A friend of mine told me that he fell asleep in the cinema. It is not shameful to fall asleep while watching Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies. He also shared with me the reason why he fell asleep. There are many natural sound effects in the movie. I burst into tears after watching such a boring movie. The crying point is the Qingluan dancing in the mirror. "Nie Yinniang" is ultimately a story of loneliness. The queen talks about the lonely phoenix seeing its own image in the mirror, crying, dancing all night, and dying. A person is in a beautiful building, no one knows, no one understands, and can only go one way to the end, alone, no one like him. Loneliness is not only Yinniang, but also Tian Ji'an, and myself. 0 reply

The ghost story of the bed sheet spirit, a stream-of-consciousness movie about death and reincarnation
When we watch movies in the past, if we lose our loved ones, we always pay more attention to the surviving one of the couple, to see how he lets go and moves forward, but this "Ghosts" is very different, it focuses on the dead person.
It uses the "perspective of the dead soul" to shoot a very different mourning film. And the object of mourning is not the dead person, but the "lost love".
The ghost covered with bed sheets can be everyone in the world, who desperately grasps the sand in his hand in the hourglass of time. If the body is rotten, there is still a soul, and the obsession with the world cannot be eliminated, and can only wander for a long time waiting for someone, how desperate it will be. I hope that the blade of time can heal the sadness in a long and painful way with the ebb and flow of the sea. 0 reply

If there is a movie that represents summer, I would choose "Call Me by Your Name". The story is not complicated, it is just a brief encounter and love between two teenagers in a quiet Italian town in the summer of 1983.
The boy with a good figure lies lazily on a folding chair, under the scorching sun, with bare shoulders and back, shorts, long legs, strong hormones, lust... The water in the swimming pool is sparkling. The chirping of insects rises and falls with the sound of the wind, continuous, as if the summer afternoon time is endless.
I think in love, when one person calls another person by his own name, it means completely giving himself up.
This may be the best annotation of love. 1 reply
