"Man Forty"

For the film "Man Forty", my original intention is to talk about Lin Jiaxin's performance, this girl with a somewhat bumpy background, from her debut was signed by Zhang Hongliang to be hidden by Zhang Hongliang for personal feelings a year later, until she was brought back to Xiangjiang by Er Dongsheng, and director Xu Anhua has been cooperating in this play, and the 15-year-old girl who wanted to become famous finally officially entered the entertainment circle after 5 years. I think she should be a natural actor, with this play she won the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer, Lin Jiaxin began to become a hit. In addition, the addition of Jacky Cheung and Mei Yanfang I think this play must be worth watching.

The plot seems old-fashioned

The high school boy is the proud protégé of the Chinese teacher and has a crush on the girl in the front row

The high school girl fell in love with her language teacher and accidentally became pregnant

The girl told the teacher about this, but the teacher told him that he had resigned and wanted to return to Taiwan, and his wife was waiting for him in Taiwan...

The girl called the boy, and the boy resolutely accompanied the girl to Shenzhen to give birth to the child and got married

20 years have passed

Boys have also become Chinese teachers, and in the face of their former classmates who have become rich, he is still an obscure middle school teacher

The girl became a housewife and took care of her two sons

The days seem to be very plain, but there is a hidden crisis

The Chinese teacher returned, but he was a dying man, and the girl decided to take care of him and give him the last ride

Boys are very uneven, and it is difficult to vent the psychological pressure for many years

One of his schoolgirls fell in love with him and seemed to be about to repeat the story of the past...

The film has a strong literary atmosphere, after all, director Xu Anhua, as a master of arts, will be able to grasp these details better than others, appearing more temperamental and more sensational. And for the first time, I felt that reading ancient poems in Cantonese had a different rhyme, and I heard that Cantonese was spoken in the previous Tang and Song dynasties, and after watching the movie, it seemed to be more able to confirm this idea.

What attracted me more in the film was some small details, Kishini ms is a very good screenwriter, the whole story takes place very smoothly and naturally without any extra shots.

Scene 1: The father-son dialogue on the beach, the son suddenly said a sentence "Dad, you and mom quarreled?" "Explaining some things in the past and existence, it's just that the son and Jacky Cheung never fit well, which makes me feel more like a brother." Jacky Cheung still looked very young at that time (in fact, in 2001), and it may be better to play today.

Scene two: Mei Yanfang and Jacky Cheung are shopping in the supermarket, and suddenly a sentence of "Teacher Sheng is back..." Jacky Cheung's momentary silence and the two bags of rice at Mei Yanfang's feet are naturally saying that Teacher Sheng's heart knot is a main line of the story.

Scene three: One of the details that impressed me the most was that in order to teach Qian Chibi this article, Jacky Cheung rummaged through the original Yangtze River water DVD at home, and also let them recall the bits and pieces of the past, you sentence by sentence and I and "drive a leaf flat boat, lift a bottle to belong to each other; send ephemera and heaven and earth, a millet in the sea", I am a rough person who knows nothing about poetry, but I can deeply feel that no other words can replace the emotions between them here, just like the days when I went to Xi'an. I also only like to express my emotions with songs. Just as I was reveling in reading this poem in Cantonese, their youngest son came out and shouted to his mother, "The water is all boiled dry, and it is still talking there..." Just like the beautiful music lingering in the ear, suddenly interrupted, and it is very ruthless but helpless to be interrupted, life is so ruthless, can not tolerate your half of the opportunity to reminisce...

For the performance of the actor, Lin Jiaxin became popular with this film, interpreting the youth, precocious and sexy of a seventeen-year-old girl amazingly, and the sound of her line to Jacky Cheung I think should be crisp to the bone, but not stained with the feeling of wind and dust. In the end, she calmly left Jacky Cheung, leaving the book full of portraits as a nostalgia, which is also a memorial to this teacher-student relationship, indeed she is entitled to play, and I personally like her later sixth floor backseat, heterogeneous space, life-saving, sister-in-law legend, monster and a series of strong characters, I think it is more suitable for her play. At this year's Academy Awards, she was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and I want to recognize her as not just me. For Lin Jiaxin, this is her first film, and for Mei Yanfang, it is her last work, when I watch the movie, I have been lamenting such a legendary woman, and in this movie, she portrays a woman with a sense of guilt and puts all the pain in her heart very deeply, perhaps more of her own profound experience over the years.

Zi Yue: Thirty and standing, forty not confused. What kind of mental state it is to be forty years old, I can't understand, I can only try to figure it out.

After each other have experienced ups and downs, the two troubled couples finally hugged together, I can't see what the ending is, maybe the director doesn't want to tell me what the ending is, Jacky Cheung hugged Mei Yanfang, who was crying bitterly, whispered in her ear, let's go to the Yangtze River together, we all read so much Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Dongpo, it's time to go and see, after a year and a half everything was flooded...
