The relationship between men and women in "Flowers" is Wong Kar-wai's comfort zone
The drama of "Flowers" can be regarded as a part of the novel, so the relationship between men and women in it is also clean, idealizing "rolling concubines". saw more than 20 episodes, just hugged with clothes, and was extremely restrained.
I was reluctant to shoot even the kiss scene that could be in the TV series, and I wanted to steal it, but I was defeated by my fear and sense of morality when I walked to the door.
But compared with the business war, the pull between men and women is Wong Kar-wai's comfort zone, and what I see most relish is his interpretation of the relationship between men and women.
The protagonist Ah Bao, when he sees him, he thinks of many men in Shanghai-style stories. For example, in "Song of Long Hatred", Ah Bao can be willing to pay, affectionate and righteous like Mr. Cheng, and has Cumminson's mud and water and does not give permission. He is also as indecisive as Shijun in "Half Life", and he is still beautiful and narcissistic like Shuhui. When dating women, he can take the initiative, but he can't take the initiative to say that he broke up, and the woman must cut it off ruthlessly, but if he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he will often hurt more.
This person is always a little separated, he is resolute when doing business, and he is vague about his feelings, but he is not as good as the female characters in the play. Of course, I'm just saying what I understand.
Baozhu Party has the most, because Tao Tao said that the night Ah Bao and Miss Wang broke off their relationship, it was comparable to his breakup with Xuezhi (first love), so he was certified by the audience as Miss Wang is his girlfriend.
But I feel that he is moved, pitiful and guilty towards Miss Wang, but there is no love between men and women, and it is more like a revolutionary friendship. In the case that Miss Wang has no face to show her bright card, he did not respond to Miss Wang's confession that she wants to sell tea eggs with him, if there is really love, at least say a partnership to do business, with his mentality of loving women so much.
He has been slapped in the mouth for Miss Wang and beaten others, but it makes sense to change to Tao Tao, Miss Wang is like his godsister, something is really up, but he can't cross the thunder pool.
Reiko, this character is not likable, but Po has the possibility of falling in love with her at first sight, at least at the beginning. When the music of Eastern Love sounded, I was also impulsive and teary-eyed, so I calmed down and thought about it. One night of meeting, Reiko just waited with him to meet the Japanese, helped him order a bowl of noodles, gave him a lucky charm, and the kindness was not big enough to set up a store for her and invite her back to China.
Reiko's place of work is Ginza, where men often buy shops for women and ask her to run them, of course the two sides are lovers, otherwise is the man sick? Reiko does not have the unrequited love that the audience thinks, and most people will think that this invitation is a confirmation of a relationship. It's just that Reiko knows that her conditions are not as good as Po, so she doesn't dare to speak, and she has to be poked by her friends to make up her mind to stop the loss.
She put herself in the position of her old wife, asked Ah Bao for private money, and went to eat breakfast (date) early in the morning.
The two of them were laughing and struggling when they grabbed the biscuit box, and it was hard to believe that they were just partners, and they were about to fall on the bed in the next second if they changed to another film. Reiko also said: He slept in my bed. A forty-year-old man, if he wants to say that he has no sex all year round, only innocent girls believe it.
So in the end, Reiko asked Po to convert three years of luck into money for her, many people think that this woman is so brazen, on the one hand, Reiko has no sense of security about money, and on the other hand, they both tacitly accept that this is a breakup fee, and they can't settle the emotional account, only the economic account. What's more, in the latest trailer, the 500,000 passbook seems to be back in Bao's hands.
Po's offering to Reiko and the foursome is an offer to the family, in the play Po is like an orphan, has no relatives, lives in a private room in the Peace Hotel, Tokyo at night is equal to his nest, go back to eat a bowl of rice, it is also very common for Chinese to raise a blood-sucking family, and when something happens, you can only trust your own family.
Reiko has never been jealous of Miss Wang, firstly, because Miss Wang knew Ah Po before her, and secondly, she was very clear about Ah Bao's attitude towards Miss Wang. She didn't get anxious until Li Li appeared, Li Li is a charming catfish, and the ambiguity between her and Po makes Reiko feel tight.
Ah Bao is a bit masochistic, he likes mysterious, calm, and arrogant women, Xuezhi kind, Li Li is most like Xuezhi, Lingzi is arrogant, Miss Wang is another, so Lingzi will feel that Li Li can replace her, Miss Wang will not.
Li Li is the most floaty among the female portraits, and Lu Meilin, who is not as good as the leftovers. Looking at the current trend, Li Li is looking for Bao to take revenge, but her motives are very strange, her lover Mr. A made a mistake and liquidated the position, Ah Bao just picked up the leak, and was not directly responsible for his death.
She has the most impurities in her relationship with Po, but Po obviously admires this kind of woman. In the play, every time they eat, they are not in the workplace Zhizhenyuan, but go to eat hot pot. The hot pot is Bao's memory of Xuezhi, and the woman's face under the mist makes him trance-like and lose his vigilance. Hot pot is the closest food, to be stirred in a pot to exchange saliva, no one talks about business in the hot pot restaurant, only the two of them, is it understandable that there is still desire in this business. But it seems that every time it's just Mr. Bao in the middle, Li Li always walks around, and he doesn't eat well. She was more interested in what she was talking about than she was in Mr. Bao.
Ah Bao and Miss Wang also have exclusive food, pork ribs rice cakes, just like Ah Bao said, pork ribs are ribs, rice cakes are rice cakes, the two are ingredients that can be made into separate articles, and they do not have to be stirred together. There is a scene where Miss Wang is eating in the store, and he is eating outside the store across the street, and the two look at each other and smile, which also symbolizes that there is a boundary in between.
Personally, I think the most sticky male and female drama is Ah Bao and Xuezhi, the two of them are crowded next to each other in the bus, only when they are young, they will be so greedy for each other's bodies, and it seems to be cheating in public, and the barrage says that Ah Bao is a tram idiot, and he really laughs to death. Later, Po is very good to other women, but that kind of gentlemanly style, there is no greedy expression.
Ten years later, when I met Xuezhi, she was not doing well, and Bao's immediate reaction was that you should be my Hong Kong representative! Lingzi wanted to be his agent and was immediately rejected, Miss Wang didn't say that he had my support because he was unemployed, and he lost his reason when he came to Xuezhi, I don't know whether to love more deeply or to find self-esteem from her.
But Xuezhi wants to be the only Bai Yueguang, she doesn't think he loves her the most, and she still cares about his childhood sweetheart Betty.
I wonder if Po is imitating Duan Zhengchun's writing, every woman is unique to him, and only he knows that there are subtle differences, but no matter how affectionate he is, it is not enough for him to leave the Peace Hotel and buy a house for only two people.
Sunglasses will show a man's affection, but they will leave some gaps for you to think about the weight of this affection. Qiang Mujie, who is in the control group with A Bao, on the surface, is a pure love warrior among the executives, but he can't be more serious. In Japan, I vaguely heard that Reiko defected to others, but I didn't think about going to Shanghai to pick up Reiko, even if I lost, I don't regret it. But he quickly got married and divorced in three years, or Reiko was very sober and only gave him five minutes of earthy love words, and it would be a waste of time if it was too much. As soon as she heard him complain about Ah Bao, Reiko was impatient, and indeed compared to Mr. Qiang, Ah Bao always had the advantage of not speaking ill of others.
The concentration of singles in this drama is higher than the Shanghai average, and it should still be relatively rare for more than nine years. Whether it is Bao, Lingzi, Miss Wang, Li Li, Mr. Qiang, these successful people, or the waiters on the Yellow River Road, the whole drama can't make up a complete home. Only Tao Tao has a family in the four-person group, Mr. Ge and the lonely Fangxin Club in his jurisdiction, the elegant Peking Opera Tsing Yi, the irascible piano teacher, and the painter of Sven, all of whom they are silently waiting for but can't be. Even the seventy or eighty uncles are legally single.
Married people have no children, except for the little sister-in-law who is pregnant in order to be angry with Tao Tao in the plot. Without a home or children, there is a blank space in life. Just imagine, Lu Meilin looked at Du Honggen with tears in her eyes, the other party held the child and said that it was called a child, and her husband took a child to call it uncle.
After Linghong left, Tao Tao persuaded Teacher Ge to go out for a walk, otherwise he could only die alone. Teacher Ge said dejectedly: I can't walk, I don't have wings.
When people reach middle age, they can especially understand Mr. Ge's words, if they want to leave their comfort zone, they should leave their comfort zone as soon as possible, and their courage will disappear later, of course, they are already a group of people who are the most comfortable in China. Beijingers can't do without Beijing, and Shanghainese can't do without Shanghai, do they have the same mentality as Mr. Ge? Miss Wang and Lingzi are powerful people, and they are rare.
Bao, Mr. Ge, Tao Tao, and Mr. Ge's tenants are the majority. I'd rather be single than fall into the quagmire of a relationship between men and women, which is about the same mood.
