Joy and sorrow, old and sick life and death, can not be said to be legendary. In Chinese society, "death" is an extremely taboo word, no one likes to mention it, but everyone has to face it.
In 1993, Er Dongsheng directed the film "New Love", directed by My favorite Hong Kong actor Liu Qingyun and the most capable Hong Kong sister Yuan Yongyi, which tells the theme of death. As soon as the theme song of the same name "New Can't Love" sung by Wan Fang sounded, she immediately had a lot of thoughts.
Huai Cai did not meet the musician Ajie (Liu Qingyun), after the failure of his career and his girlfriend Tracy (Liu Jialing), when he was helpless, he met the cheerful Amin (Yuan Yongyi).
Although Amin's family set up stalls and singing on Temple Street, they all have special skills.
Sister Ah Ling seems to be a greedy and miserly city woman, who earns money by standing under a banyan tree and selling songs. But who knows, she is from the class and has the ability to sing the big drama.
Mother Feng Baobao, all day a cold and serious face, but the old days are also a singer, after Amin's critical illness, she appeared again, and her skills were shocked.
Uncle Qin Pei always hid in a corner to play saxophone, but in fact, he was proficient in Chinese and Western instruments and was an excellent musician.
Like her uncle, Amin is not only proficient in Chinese and Western instruments, but also knows how to sing a variety of music, Cantonese songs, pop songs, English songs and so on.
Amin and Ajay ben are upstairs and downstairs neighbors. Later, because of music, the lives of the two began to be closely intertwined, and in the process of getting along, Ajay began to know Amin's family.
Amin's mother, a singer of the old days; sister Ah Ling, the zhengdan of authentic drama; uncle is a musician; Amin suffered from bone cancer at the age of 8 but miraculously lived until the age of 20, with the strength of a popular singer.
Such a group of people who have never met with talent have been reduced to selling and singing on the street for a living, but they still have not given up their lives.
Ah Ling, she has never complained, she said that no matter how hard it is, the money earned is all her own, is it that they are rich, will they share my share? If you want to win the lottery, you have to go to the street to buy it!
Uncle Qin Pei, I have never doubted my talent. Remember, you must never doubt yourself.
At the top of the hill, Amin said to Ajay:
"You feel very bad now, God is very unfair to you, I think life is the most important, so in my life, there is nothing that cannot be solved." 」
Amin opens Ajay's perspective, and through Amin, Ajay sees this group of people who are more humble than him, but still strong.
Amin's optimism allows Ajay to regain his lost confidence, begin to improve his career, and become a lover with Amin.
The virus in Amin's body re-attacked, and when Amin and Ajie's relationship became stronger, the disease took Amin's life.
The film ends with a sentence written by Amin to Ajay: If the worst thing in life is only death, how can there be difficulties in life that cannot be faced!
After the virus in Amin's body broke out again, Ajay, who was already a boyfriend, did not abandon it and gave everything he had, and his parents and relatives were the same, accompanying Amin.
There are also neighbors listening to the song, Ajay's ex-girlfriend Tracy, and friends Ada who do their best to help Ajay and Amin.
The warm story of Ajay and Amin in the first half is the setting for the sadness of the second half. But in the tragic story, we can see the best side of human nature.
There is nothing out of the ordinary way in the whole movie, just a bland love story.
Although the plot is deliberate, it is not pretentious at all, where is the unpretentiousness? It's real.
Through the objective reality, Amin and Ajay's fate is shallow, creating people and confronting the essence of things: death.
In addition to the reality that makes people feel helpless, it also retains the last beauty for the audience.
Use life to shape love, and also use love to express death. The tragedy and comedy of life are staged here at the same time. This is the charm of Hong Kong films, using the perspective of ethical films and the techniques of literary and artistic films to naturally express a commercial genre film.
Life is the past, the unknown is the future. Whatever the moment, if you're watching at the moment, prove the good news: you're alive!
