Compared with the superficial swords and swords, the emotions and desires of the human heart are the rivers and lakes that Ang Lee wants to express! In fact, the lines are very modern, or literary, but they fit the aura of the camera and the characters, which is so suitable.
The rivers and lakes are really not clear in one sentence, not only kung fu, not only in that era, because the human heart is the rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes everywhere.

Genre: Drama / Action / Crime
Release Date: 2017-11-17 (Chinese mainland) / 1986-08-02 (Hong Kong, China)
A masterpiece of Hong Kong gangster movies! The pace is extremely fast, there is not a word of water, and it is a real 95 minutes, a dramatic but very beautiful gunfight movie.
Triangle heroes, whether they are officials or bandits, have a hard bone of principle, and they all have a vein of bloody tenderness, and the close-up of each actor can see the soul of the hero.
NO.6 "Thief of Time"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Director: Lo Kai Rui
Starring: Wu Junru / Ren Dahua / Zhong Shaotu / Li Zhiting / Choi Wing-yan
Douban score 8.7 (580671 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Family
Release date: 2010-04-16 (Chinese mainland)
In the changing life, the years are the biggest thief! There are so many tears, but I don't feel the slightest emotion.
The pace is slow, but not trivial. Touching with emotion, not pretentious at all, not deliberate, naturally revealed, family affection and love slowly drift away in the film.
Time is a thief, stealing everything we have, but leaving behind the most precious memories.
NO.5 "In the Mood for Love"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Director: Wong Kar-wai
Starring: Tony Leung / Maggie Cheung / Poon Dihua / Siu Binglin / Cheung Yiuyang
Douban score 8.8 (622877 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Romance
Release date: 2000-09-29 (Hong Kong, China)
The best story is not the 7749 rounds of the battle, but the desire to talk and stop.
The script is very interesting, setting up a pair of cheating men and women who don't have any shots in the movie, but they remind Zhou Muyun and Su Lizhen all the time not to be AI.
Therefore, the dull men and women in Wong Kar-wai's shot, the empty room is full of an unobtainable lust, the extremely omitted narrative, and the soothing and elegant cello music score are really in place.
NO.4 "Chongqing Forest"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Director: Wong Kar-wai
Starring: Brigitte Lin / Takeshi Kaneshiro / Tony Leung / Faye Wong / Carina Chow
Douban score 8.8 (827806 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Romance
Release date: 1994-07-14 (Hong Kong, China)
Is there anything else in this world that will not expire?! Wong Kar-wai is truly the soul catcher of the city.
His colors, images, cuts, and storylines all have a languid, decadent aesthetic.
In the forests of Chongqing, each story expresses simple and sincere love with the confusion and decadence of urban emotions.
Takeshi Kaneshiro's expired love, Lin Qingxia's domineering drug dealer, Faye Wong's stupidity is extremely cute, Tony Leung's emotions are introverted, and Carina Chow's sexiness are all very Wong Kar-wai.
NO.3 "Sweet Honey"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Director: Chen Kexin
Starring: Li Ming / Maggie Cheung / Yang Gongru / Zeng Zhiwei / Christopher Doyle
Douban score 8.9 (571229 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Romance
Release Date: 2015-02-13 (Chinese mainland) / 1996-11-02 (Hong Kong, China)
Love does not distinguish between right and wrong, only in order, and the rest is a choice! Life is only a once-in-a-lifetime reunion, and fate is already doomed on the train from the mainland to Hong Kong.
A little person who crosses the background of the times clutches the joys and sorrows, turning back and forth, accompanied by Teresa Teng's sweet songs to compose the love songs of the times.
Li Xiaojun's gaze in the crowd of thousands of people, Li Qiao's running on the streets of a foreign country, his aunt's lifelong waiting, Brother Leopard's inexhaustible love, and Zhai Luwei's unhesitating companionship are all inexhaustible in "Sweet Honey".
NO.2 "Infernal Affairs"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★

Starring: Andy Lau / Tony Leung / Huang Qiusheng / Zeng Zhiwei / Chen Huilin
Douban score 9.3 (1394532 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Thriller / Crime
Release Date: 2003-09-05 (Chinese mainland) / 2002-12-12 (Hong Kong, China)
One of the classic films of the undercover theme! The brilliance of "Infernal Affairs" lies in the twin of darkness and light, one has never sunk but has no identity, and the other has stepped in the darkness even if he yearns for the sun, even if he wants to pull out his feet, he will eventually bring out the mud.
There are three actors squeezed in an elevator, and this elevator can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.
NO.1 "Farewell My Concubine"
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
Director: Chen Kaige

Douban score 9.6 (2183286 reviews)
Genre: Drama / Romance / Same-sexual
Release Date: 1993-07-26 (Chinese mainland) / 1993-01-01 (Hong Kong, China)
The best Chinese films, the joys and sorrows of the collision of the times, so truly and profoundly reflect the miserable fate of the people in the historical period from the eve of the Anti-Japanese War to the Cultural Revolution, permeating every detail.
Including the child who couldn't stand the abuse of the troupe, and the six relatives did not recognize him during the Cultural Revolution, and the personality distortion was shown to the extreme.
Of course, the most amazing thing is my brother's performance, such a sad and pitiful Dieyi is heart-wrenching, if you don't go crazy, you can't live, and there is no distinction between people and plays.
