It is customary to go to Douban to see the score before watching a movie. This "Twelve Nights", Douban shows that I have seen it the year before, and the brief comment at the time was: "I watched it three times and fell asleep three times." ”
And I'm completely unimpressed. I don't understand why I insist on reading it. Since you feel so dull, how can you watch it for three consecutive nights?
Is it because of that sentence: literary and artistic women love Eason Chan? I forgot where I saw the title, and I can't remember the content. But this sentence has never been forgotten.
I've only seen two movies he starred in. Twelve Nights is a 2000 film, and he is still young. It may be that more than 20 years have passed, and it is already known where Eason Chan and Cecilia Cheung went their separate ways later. One is happily married, and the other is a mother who loves her children. Look at them in the movie in a serious way, there are always some dramas.
Remembering the teacher who trained the lyrics, a word of warning to us. Be sure not to write lyrics about love, because at this age, you are conservative and can't write about young people. Even if you insist on writing, it will not be new and interesting, not special enough.
So while I was thinking about Eason Chan's Xu Haohao, I watched him play with Cecilia Cheung in the movie. Born in 1974, he was 26 years old, not very smiling, often with a contemplative look. Sure enough, under the sun, there was nothing new. The cycle of those "love" stories also ranges from the enthusiasm of the initial love, to the later boredom and quarrels, crying and breaking up, compounding and numbness... It's all those repetitions.
Generation after generation, experiencing similar things. It's just that when we're middle-aged, the next generation is about to reach the age of experiencing emotions. Nowadays, people live well and generally appear young. There are also people around who are still tossing and turning, and have not yet withdrawn from the love sea. The children have gone to high school or college and are beginning to fall in love for the first time.
Sometimes it seems that it may have something to do with the age of the filming, but "Twelve Nights" is obviously familiar, what happens at that age. In the eyes of later generations, some of the content has become obsolete. Like Cecilia Cheung's clothing in it, there are distinct characteristics of the times.
But some plots are common and universal. Today's men and women will still face similar stories. "Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year." But every boy or girl, when they go through their own lives, still feel fresh and exciting. That's one of the charms of coming into this world.
Even if you have seen more movies and read more novels, it is not as unique as your experience. Otherwise, you will only watch Jeannie in the movie, crying on the street again and again after losing love, and do not understand why she is so out of shape. Just like at the end, Alan has already invested in it, willing to sacrifice his most important cause for her, and personally admits to loving her. However, when she learned that her ex-boyfriend had not split his legs, she realized that her fate with Alan was actually just an ordinary mistake. She suddenly became rational, sober, and even avoided this seemingly happy fate.
A lot of things are like this, yin and yang. And life is often more tortuous and magical than the plot arranged by those screenwriters, and human nature is more unpredictable than the movie.
However, I still like to watch Alan, played by Eason Chan, when he just fell in love with Jeannie, watching little Pikachu smile and whisper to Jeannie on the phone. The two didn't sleep all night, they were still talking on the phone in the early hours of the morning, it was light, and they would look at each other like crazy people.
Whether the ending is regrettable or not, it is a beautiful picture.
