Text/Dream Poetry Book
The proposition about youth, in "Which Day We Will Fly" and the conclusion of young dreams, there is no delicate and contrived line, there is no so-called climax of dog blood, the intersection of today and the past, everything is so delicate and real, just like blooming a fresh orchid, as a Hong Kong movie, Huang Xiuping has made his own interpretation of the dream of youth based on the city of Hong Kong.
Different from the flat and straightforward opening of the door, "Which Day" is led by Yu Fengzhi and Peng Shenghua, a couple who have been married for ten years and are in a mid-life crisis, the life is as if the water is stopped, in the face of the bottleneck of the husband's extramarital affair, all this troubles Yu Fengzhi, an accidental discovery of the blog of the former classmate Su Bowen, opened the past of youth that has been sunk and passed, the two veins of middle age and the past youth go hand in hand, the obsession of youth with dreams, and the dreams that have been squeezed dry by trivial and bleak life step by step after middle age. In the film, a sharp contrast is formed, which awakens not only the remembrance of youth, but also the recovery of dreams that have sunk.
In the face of lost love, at the beginning of "Which Day" is a story of finding love, but with the reproduction of the youth scene, the film is no longer a simple "love" word, Yu Fengzhi, who wanted to travel around the world when he was young, became a travel agency clerk, Peng Shenghua, who likes to be manual, became an interior designer, at first glance, the realization of young dreams, in fact, the dream has long compromised the troubles of reality, and the love of the past has been quietly lost with time, all in this story of returning to the three people of youth, Su Bowen's obsession with the plane, The tragic ending rendering is actually to leave a dreamer who is loyal to his dream in the most beautiful era, and also to better render the inner feelings placed on the film.
As a Hong Kong film, the film's distinct regional color, the feelings of the city of Hong Kong inscribed in this dream and youth story, the film to the 90s of Hong Kong as the background of the times, the persistence of the dream, the doubts about the future, brewed in the film's excellent context control, Huang Xiuping will be a city's cultural symbols into this story, the plane released under the Lion Rock, the dream of youth in the past is not a person, but a dream about the city of Hong Kong. It is "Which Day" is a deep and sincere message to Hong Kong.
If youth, dreams, and cities are compared to musical notes, "Which Day" plays a trio of hearts, healing each other's barriers while regaining our long-lost original intentions.
