To watch "Break Up and Say I Love You", I have to understand a little about the "Love Trilogy" first. Ten years ago, at the most sluggish juncture of Hong Kong films, Screenwriter Ye Nianchen made a "Exclusive Test of Love", with an accurate description of the reality and psychology of young people, a small and fresh humanistic atmosphere, and Deng Lixin and Fang Lishen, a couple CP that was too suitable to be suitable, won the enthusiastic support of Hong Kong audiences, and the box office exceeded 12 million in one fell swoop, which was a small miracle measured by the popularity and status of the creators at that time.
Then there is "Very Much Love" and "My Favorite", the love trilogy once became a unique charm of Hong Kong movies, and also completed Deng Fanglian, a decade-long love run that continues to this day. Ye Nianchen later also became popular for a few years, and after filming "Absolute Double Jiao", "Dear", and "Keep Loving You", he stagnated, including urban movies such as "Trial Love Before Marriage" and "Hidden Marriage Men and Women", all of which showed that they were not in a state, and once they left the Cookies members, he would not work. Deng Lixin is also like this, leaving Ye Nianchen can not find the feeling, this trait, but also this front and backstage trio tightly tied together.
After many years, in order to regroup "Break Up and Say I Love You", Ye Dao recalled the Fang Deng couple file, the character name followed the "Exclusive Trial of Love", the Downing version of The Mosquito returned, the story was more in line with the real topic, showing the tiredness of marriage, the itch of ten years, the flowers and impermanence of the world, the plot was like documentary, and the picture was like a poem.
You can take "Break up and say I love you" as a 2.0 upgrade, when Fang Deng CP was really young, you can enjoy it, you can be unscrupulous, you can dare to try love, you can play love arbitrarily, after ten years, Kwong Meibao and Lin Jiahua have no children, although time has not left obvious traces on the face, but the state and state of mind have obvious differences. Jawa became silent and low, and Mabel was shrewd and capable but increasingly impetuous.
This is a typical urban couple, and their stories are also the kind that happen every day around us, seemingly absurd, but very common. Following the film and entering their world, you can feel an unstoppable force destroying that peaceful life. First of all, the pressure from the parents of both sides, during the holiday, sort to go to the mother's house and the in-laws' family to eat, the mother's family does not like The Jiahua has no professionalism, the in-laws do not understand the problem of no children; secondly, the conflict between the family and the work, Meibao is a strong woman, the career is important, The Jiahua wants to live freely, a good ski finally soaked in the soup; finally the emotional temptation, Jiahua encountered Kiki who had been ambiguous, and the new hot girls in the company also took the initiative to show kindness.
The three fuses have been held for too long, and finally one day they are detonated at the same time, and ten years of love have evolved into war, leading to a heartbreaking secret, and at the same time, the Asedes mosquito with brain cancer has run out of time. In the face of life and death, facing marriage, facing others, facing lovers, and facing themselves, Jiahua and Meibao must give an explanation.
From the trilogy that began with "Exclusive Love", and then to the continuation of "Break Up and Say I Love You" again, these movies have split legs and ambiguity, whether it is a newlywed couple, or a couple in love, or the ten-year itch shown in this film, it is difficult for modern people to completely refuse the temptation of splitting legs in life, this is an indistinguishable reality, Ye Nianchen does not avoid this problem, nor does he use chicken soup to whitewash their split legs, nor to grit his teeth to criticize, but to record their contradictions and penetrate the busy city. Directly attack the truth of love and marriage.
Ye Nianchen's films have never lacked drama, as a typical writer filmmaker, he can always create warm, anxious, sweet, bitter, sad, angry, suspicious, cherishing and other complex emotions through extremely realistic plots, just like the Rubik's Cube, which changes randomly and organizes countless possibilities, so the film is always full of strong suspense.
In contrast, the movie is a little more atmospheric than the trilogy of that year, the main creative skills are more refined, this is Ye Nianchen's most skilled style, this is the drama path that Deng Lixin and Fang Lishen are best at, the role is almost integrated with reality, such a movie can not be bad.
