This year, one movie that I can repeatedly go into the theater to see is "Mei Yanfang", which was released in mid-November. Counting the movie that was on demand, I have seen it four times before and after, and I am basically familiar with the plot inside, but I still don't feel bored.
I haven't tried to be so obsessed with a film for a long time, whether I was moved by the plot of the movie, or whether I was making a ripple in my heart because of the characters in the film, or I was intoxicated with the interlude in the film, I can't say clearly, it's a bit. But I'm sure I found the joy and meaning of watching the movie, and in the rush, I sought a little time to make an emotional catharsis for those 137 minutes, and I enjoyed it.
"Mei Yanfang" is a biographical film, so the characters are not acted like, and the storyline is complete, etc., are often mentioned as a major criterion for judging the success of this film.
It is an established fact that the Slovaks are dead. To find a person who looks like him to play, it is simply a fantasy.
Instead of dwelling on this, it is better to enjoy the performance of the new talent on the screen. Wang Dani, who is from a model, has a remarkable point, a good temperament, and her appearance is also a bit similar, coupled with the modification of the makeup team, the positioning of the character is still standing.
In addition, it must also be admitted that the set of the film is very careful, as if it can really make people feel in the 1980s and 1990s, which was the glory days of the Hong Kong music scene, whether it is the design of the street, or details such as Lai Garden, Lee Stage, food stalls, etc., there are shadows of that era, which can make us open the floodgates of nostalgia and immerse ourselves in it.
In my opinion, this is still a film that can make me emotional, often watched and renewed, and it is a success in this regard. A work is not easy and does not need to cater to all audiences. Because everyone's emotions are different, but as long as someone can find the touch point, it is enough.
Movies have a very strong educational significance, and are a strange flower in literature and art. You should be thankful to learn the truth of being a human being from light and shadow, or to understand some inspiration.
There is a clip in the movie that brings me a deep feeling. Mei Jie finally returned to Japan to meet her "ex-boyfriend" Goto Yuki. In the hotel, she walked slowly to the window and watched the stream outside, without stopping.
This scene gave me a lot of feelings, the flowing water is like this world, will not stop because of the departure of anyone, just like a philosophical saying, "The world is less than anyone, tomorrow the sun will still rise."
In the beginning, I was lonely. Later, I became open-minded again. The creek that has identified the direction, even if it encounters many obstacles on the way, will still move forward without hesitation until the last moment of life.
At that time, Mei Yanfang was already terminally ill. The pain she endured could only be felt by herself. In the end, she still showed off in a white wedding dress, appeared on the stage, like the stream, and bravely completed her unfinished dreams.
Mei Yanfang's sister Mei Aifang died in 2000, and this special moment is also explained in the film, which is enough to make people cry. What impressed me the most was Mei Aifang's heartfelt words, she said, "To be a person, you must have a beginning and an end."
Since you have lived a life, you must also have a beginning and an end, and live a wonderful life.
We all know that Sister Mei, she really did it.
In the film, "Zhang Guorong" told "Mei Yanfang" that he revisited "The True Biography of Ah Fei", which is the film of Zhan Shidian. He said, some people, you don't want to watch him grow old, leaving at the most beautiful time, maybe the best result.
The "Biography of Ah Fei" said by my brother is not the Hong Kong film starring Zhang Guorong, but the American film of the fifties of the last century, starring Zhan Shidian, but unfortunately, the protagonist died in a car accident before the movie was broadcast, at the age of 24.
What makes people sigh is that Zhang Guorong also died early, and that leap down ended his short and brilliant 47 years, leaving endless thoughts.
Shortly after the "brother" left, on December 30 of the same year, Mei Yanfang also passed away, and finally died of cervical cancer, at the age of 40. If Zhang Guorong and Sister Mei are still alive, it is also the year of Hua Jia.
I really can't imagine what they look like when they are old, when the years leave marks on their faces and bodies, the "brother" who was once warm and personable, and the Sister Mei who is strong and strong and has a flamboyant personality, will you feel a little reluctant in your twilight years?
Or when they are the brightest and brightest, they will make people worry about it all the time. Their lives are very short, like the sunset has passed in the blink of an eye, but it is beautiful, it will be amazing, it will make people cry, and it will make people remember it forever.
And some people are very long-lived, like Sister Mei's mother Qin Meijin, and her brother Mei Qiming, but they are spurned and white-eyed by people, and what is the meaning of the empty years, it is just an unbearable emptiness, and the two are known to be lighter than heavy.
The death of Mui Yanfang represents the end of an era in Hong Kong. Fortunately, there are light and shadow vocal music left, and the changing images on the stage soothe us.
In 2003, SARS raged, and everyone panicked.
Now, we once again feel the feeling of powerlessness that we did not experience as a child. Wearing a mask to watch a movie, about that period of time, people in the film also wear masks, this conflict between reality and the past, at this moment there is a sense of ridicule.
But I also like to see the dawn, the SARS of that year has passed, then the current epidemic will also have a past day, I really long, the day to really take off the mask will come soon.
This year, in addition to SARS, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang passed away one after another, which aggravated the dark clouds hanging over many people's heads. Many people are reluctant and crying, and it is most uncomfortable when emotions cannot be vented, and there are many people who transition by listening to their songs and watching their pictures over and over again.
18 years later, a biographical film about Mei Jie appeared in front of the public, and some people may say that this is consuming Mei Jie, taking the deceased people for their own seats.
In fact, I prefer to see it as a collective remembrance, when the familiar melody of the song sounds, when the real image unfolds, the eyes open the valve of memory, the tide of thoughts continues to pour in, I understand, but the deep love has not been spoken.
The box office broke through 100 million, which is enough to see the influence of Mei Jie. Biographical films are not presented like documentaries, but rather dramatize certain plots.
Although incomplete, but affectionate enough, whether it is Anita's loyal fans and fans, or pure passers-by, they should find a point that moves them.
When the movie is available on the video site in the future, I think I will revisit it a fifth time. At least, at this point, my heart is still boiling.
