Ah Fei Zhengchuan, Wong Kar Wai, Liang Chaowei and others

I have always subjectively believed that Wong Kar-wai's films are really obscure, and for me, a layman who is very concerned about logical self-consistency and is not too interested in pretending to be X, I am afraid that I will not appreciate it. So for those classics and masterpieces, I deliberately missed them. Once, probably under the influence of Brother Ren, I watched "The True Biography of Ah Fei". After watching for a while, a man came out, a policeman, took off his hat, I looked, so handsome! Look again, I'm not, this is not Andy Lau...

In the movie, Ah Fei said to Hua Tsai, "One day I will fly, and then you don't have to be inferior." Wong Kar-wai's lines are not playful, and each sentence is rich in meaning, at least to make people feel rich in meaning. This, I personally feel most deeply is "A Generation of Grandmasters", this movie, is simply a collection of famous aphorisms. What thoughts will have an echo, looking at people is angry and funny, if anyone in life talks like this, it has to be beaten up and life can not take care of themselves. In any case, this line still makes me think that my brother's suicide "flew" from the roof. I can't imagine that a movie dialogue from many years ago turned into a slur and became a prophecy of my own destiny. "I guessed the front, but I couldn't guess the ending." When Hua Tsai learned that his brother "flew down" from the upper floor, could he still remember the line of that year?

Seeing the end, I think the plot of Ah Fei's death is a bit far-fetched, just like the undercover plot in "The King of Comedy" (I can't understand the undercover plot, I personally think it is completely a snake to add feet). Of course, for this movie, Ah Fei's death is not optional, of course, Ah Fei has to die, but he always feels that the front paving is not enough, at least not enough to let him die, or die with such an abrupt feeling. But maybe I'm looking at the so-called castrated version. Wong Kar-wai's wild thinking that day, who can catch that.

-- "There is a bird in this world that has no feet, it can only fly and fly all the time, and when it is tired of flying, it sleeps in the wind, and this bird can only go to the ground once in a lifetime, and that time is when it dies." ”

So Ah Fei died in the train... Can everyone deserve their own death? Caesar of the age-old level can not die well; and Caesar, Napoleon is trapped on the island of St. Helena, trapped in the beast, still dying of disease (of course, some people say that he was poisoned by arsenic), for a hero, such a death is not as good as being stabbed to death; General Patton once hoped to be killed by the last bullet in the last battle on the battlefield, but died in a hospital bed because of a car accident...

This movie has achieved many classic bridges, including the later "Journey to the West" in which the supreme treasure beat Bodhi Lao zu imitated Ah Fei hitting the man with a hammer; the part in "Domestic LingLing Paint" in which Zhou Xingchi combed his hair upstairs was a personal show imitating Wei Zai at the last minute. I don't know whether Zhou Xingchi's "references" are paying tribute to Wong Kar-wai or to "The True Biography of Ah Fei", but they are all the same. Watching too many movies can also become an occupational disease, as the article satirizes the sports commentators said, seeing a goal, immediately saying that it is thought of a famous player in a certain game in so-and-so in such a certain year and place also scored in this way. I also remembered watching "Spring Light Leak" when I just watched it for about a few minutes, and then I bumped into Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei getting together. It is estimated that at that time, the age was small, which can stand this, ah, immediately withdraw the disc and do not look at it. This is not to count, since then it has left a shadow in the heart, I heard that "Brokeback Mountain" is playing a male gay, and immediately there is no interest. There is also "Lan Yu", which is said to be a good movie, but I really can't enjoy the painting style of Hu Jun and Liu Ye, two super macho men. Later, I inadvertently came into contact with some movies with lesbian plots, including "American Sweetheart" (it seems to be such a name, I can't remember clearly) and some shots from the American drama "Cashmere Mafia" (Woman Gang), and I not only did not feel awkward, but also felt very cool, especially in the case of two beautiful women. No wonder one of my female friends said after watching "Lan Yu" that it was not bad, so it can be seen that the law of "same-sex attraction and alien repulsion" is also applicable in this scene.

In the past, Wong Kar-wai gave me the impression that I couldn't understand it at all, but "The True Biography of Ah Fei" was OK, at least I felt that I understood it. Then I immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, watched "Fancy Years", and then watched "2046", "Chongqing Forest", "East Evil and West Poison", "Mong Kok Carmen" I should have watched, until "A Generation of Grandmasters". Also, can't remember. Although "Fancy Years" has a continuing relationship with "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" in terms of time and characters, the plot and feeling are completely different. Including the picture and background are very different from "Ah Fei". I was impressed that because there was only one heroine in "Flower", Maggie Cheung, in order to emphasize and highlight her and her feminine beauty, she was given enough care in light and shadow and lens. Even in order not to distract the audience, Maggie Cheung's husband and Liang Chaowei's wife have never had a frontal shot, his wife only has a back, and her husband is even more miserable - only sound. However, the effect is really good, Wei Zai's hair is always meticulous, Maggie Cheung changed ten sets of cheongsam in more than 20 minutes, worn on her, really beautiful! However, I personally think that this film may be extremely boring for unmarried people, and for married people, it may seem to have "something else in mind".

Wong Kar-wai's films, all dark style, just like Wong Kar-wai dressed himself, he also put on a pair of sunglasses for his films. In addition to "East Evil west poison", the character itself has a clear origin, "Generation Grandmaster" belongs to the base on true story, the protagonists of other modern films, to me, most of them are the kind of people who have no name, no surname, no father, no mother, no friends, no decent work in the corners of the metropolis to earn a meal and eat a meal. Dismantling all identities and bonds and focusing only on the inner world and emotional entanglements of the characters feels a bit "empty" and "spiritual", but it is also very wonderful. When the night is deep, the phantom of the night envelops everything, you sit alone in front of the screen, you can make some junk food "holding in the palm of your hand", looking at the characters inside a "smoke and rain for a lifetime" posture, sometimes they may knock on your loneliness, sometimes they may tap your loneliness, sometimes they may tap the yearning, well, it is like this.

Just like Feng Xiaogang's iron-beaten Ge You, Wong Kar-wai also has his own royal male protagonist, Wei Zai. Everyone says that Liang Chaowei's acting skills are good, "Chongqing Forest", "Spring Break", "Fancy Years", "2046", nothing else, just these four, just four Academy Awards Film Emperor! The business response may be average, but the academic school really eats this set. But in the context of Hong Kong directors' films, especially in Wong Kar-wai's system, I feel that Leung Chao-wai's acting skills are only one kind - playing himself! When he didn't speak, it was a cool electric-eyed little student/uncle; when he opened his mouth, he was cynical and mischievous--"Third sister, it's just a trick, there is no need to demolish the ancestral hall." ”
