But the appearance of a mainland woman disrupts their otherwise peaceful lives.
This lively and beautiful woman named Dongdong (Zhou Xun), she lives behind the Zhu family, in a luxury apartment known as "Hong Kong Hollywood", she is not only a yearless friendship with the innocent young son of the Zhu family, Ah Xie, but also arouses the male lust that her father (Chen Yingming) and her brother Ah Ming (He Shiwen) have been imprisoned for a long time, and the ordinary love life of the three fathers and sons has set off a huge wave. What made the Zhu family father and son even more unexpected was that because of the turmoil brought by this woman, coupled with the reconstruction plan of the SAR government, they were helplessly forced to leave the home where they had lived for half a century, Da Hom Village... (Douban Introduction)
Chen Guo's "Hong Kong Trilogy", "Durian Fluttering", "Hong Kong Has a Hollywood", "Three Husbands".
It's about life, but it's all about politics.
The specific imagery represented by various plots and things is about Hong Kong in the turbulent times of a certain period of history.
The characters of these stories are changing, but the protagonists, in fact, are All Hong Kong, anthropomorphizing Hong Kong.
Looking at Chen Guo's Hong Kong trilogy, people who do not know Hong Kong very well, if they are only regarded as a feature film or a drama film, it is slightly boring, and they must go through the film reviews after watching the movie to understand the object to which various details point, and what the director wants to express through the movie.
Undoubtedly, this type of film is also a certain use of film as a means of expression.
The anthropomorphization of the city and politics, through the reference of the character object, from the emotions grafted on the characters, tells the changes in Hong Kong from a humane feeling and perspective, and the changes and emotions that the people living here produce because of these changes.
This type of film, some people especially like to watch, will find the hidden details and the real intention of the director to express and have a certain unique resonance, from which you can see more things behind it, from a movie to produce a lot of things, the perception and taste gained is far beyond a movie itself, allowing you to look at the problem and history from a unique but real perspective.
At the same time, some people are completely indifferent to this kind of movie, feeling that they don't know what to do, and guessing and guessing is not troublesome.
In general, Director Chen Guo's film style has a very strong personal personality color, people who like it especially like it, and they can't stop it, as if they find a confidant, what they don't like is completely indifferent, how they can't like it.
The ultimate foothold of the influence of movies is still resonance, and some movies are aimed at most people, universal emotions, which anyone can understand.
Some movies are aimed at specific groups of people.
There is no right or wrong.
