After the reopening of cinemas, the prosperity of the past is difficult to appear, there are only a few phenomenal rescue works, and Hong Kong movies have almost disappeared.
At this time, a movie with the theme of watching out for each other was released, which should have been a suitable work, and after the box office went all the way down, the reputation of the film was also mixed.
In order to meet the role of the tramp in the movie, Aaron Kwok has always insisted on being hungry when shooting the movie, and the live broadcast sometimes receives a grunt in his stomach, and the torn clothes on his body also appear loose and fat, as a male number one who points to sell tickets, he deserves to be dedicated.
When promoting the movie, when the reporter asked Aaron Kwok whether he believed in the love at first sight of "Ah Zhen" played by Yang Qianwei in the movie "Mai Luren"?
He said: "As long as you believe it, there will be." ”
After watching the movie, some people suspected the character of the male protagonist "Bo Ge" played by Aaron Kwok, and questioned him about a former social elite, even if he was imprisoned, why could he not start over with his previous professional skills, but he was willing to live at the bottom?
I think this may be a reflection given to the fans by director Huang Qingxun: You are obvious, why not?
Wong Kar-wai's movie "East Evil and West Poison" has a "blind swordsman" played by Liang Chaowei, he left his hometown, and after many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, he did not even save the entanglement of returning home, he practiced swords when he was young and Waswolf Huang Yaoshi, he obviously has talent, why is he nameless in the jianghu?
There are too many people in life who can obviously but can't, just like a blind swordsman who dies on the way home.
Such a setting applies to most of the sentient beings in the world, and we ask ourselves, how many people are qualified to laugh at them?
It is Aaron Kwok's "Bo Ge" and Liang Chaowei's "blind swordsman", whose tragedy inspires my generation of people who can clearly do it, but still can't live this life well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > it's a waiting story</h1>
In the movie, we follow Bo Ge's perspective, through the homeless McLu people, that is, people who live in McDonald's after nightfall, they meet each other strangely, they are warm to each other, not family but better than family.
Wan Ziliang, an old filmmaker who washed away the lead, played a retired firefighter, and strangers who did not know his name called him "Wait for Bo", and his wife and children were deceived into running out of all their savings in their later years, and jumped off the building in despair.
He came home from work that day, witnessed it with his own eyes and couldn't do anything about it.
He had saved countless people in his life, and he couldn't figure out why Heaven had punished him like this.
He made his home at McDonald's, waited for his wife who would never come home with him again, and for the rest of his life he sat down and poured two glasses of water and ordered two meals.
We always exhort people to go out of the past, but what if the limits of a person's psychological endurance are destroyed?
The meaning of painting the ground as a prison is that it is difficult to go out, and the Mai Lu people around him choose to respect the choice of Wait bo and not to expose his scars.
Bo Ge's family also has a mother and sister, the mother is senile dementia, the most tenacious vitality comes from the fact that she still wants to see her son, she has to wait; the sister helps her brother pay off her debts, while taking care of her mother, she is alone, she is also waiting for her brother to come home.
After graduation, shen zai, who was idle and idle, stayed at home all day to play games and do waste youth, and after running away from home, he was taken in by Bo Ge, who really regarded him as an apprentice and took him to do three things.
Do odd jobs to pick up garbage, eat enough to eat first; learn a skill, go to a barbershop as an apprentice, and really master the means to make a living; reconcile with his family, first help Shen Zai deliver medicine to his mother, and finally return to the family.
Bo Ge seemed to find comfort in Shen Zai and completed what he had always wanted to do.
Once a person chooses to escape, he will fall deeper and deeper, so that he cannot extricate himself, and Bo Ge sneaks a peek at his mother several times, but he cannot summon up the courage to take another step forward.
The proud son of heaven who was once the proud son of heaven is now wandering the streets, and this heaviness has crushed him, and he is afraid that his mother will be disappointed.
Liu Yaser plays a young mother from the mainland whose Husband died in a car accident, after which she and her daughter were driven out of the house by their mother-in-law and have been living on the streets ever since, with the mother-daughter duo taking McDonald's as their home.
After the mother-in-law lost her son in her old age, she borrowed poison all day to pour sorrow and owe a ass debt, and she was a weak woman who did not hesitate to work three or four jobs, just to pay off the emotional debt, because her husband was very good to her before she died, so she did not hesitate to pay for not acknowledging her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law can't let go of the pain of losing her son, she can't let go of the pain of bereavement, she is waiting for her mother-in-law's approval until her death.
All sentient beings are suffering, suffering is obsessive, and the feeling of waiting is particularly strong.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fireworks in the world</h1>
The singer "Ah Zhen", played by Yang Qianwei, met the financial elite Bo Ge at the best time, and she reported her real name to the man she admired at first sight: "My name is Qiu Hong." ”
The man politely handed over the business card, and she was afraid that she would keep it until the end of her life, a thought of the good old days.
Later, after Bogo was released from prison, the two met again, and the man "deliberately" forgot that they had seen each other before, and he only called the woman "Azhen".
Ah Zhen's economic conditions are average, but she rents a room alone, filled with her past performance clothes, she is nostalgic, and she is the same as people.
After Bo Ge suffered from cancer, he was away from the crowd and waited silently for death, it was Ah Zhen who found him, knowing that there was not much time, he said the truth, even if the woman only said it once, he still remembered: her name was Qiu Hong.
To a certain extent, Ah Zhen is happier than the heroine in "Strange Woman Letter", at least the people she loves have never forgotten it.
It is said that emotional investment is less investment and higher returns, and most people who recognize this sentence are liars.
Ah Zhen sold all her costumes, and she took out her savings to save Bo Ge's life.
Mai Lu's friends also donated generously, and some of the money was not measured much in the worldly ruler, but measured by their pockets, it was almost half of these people's worth.
However, Bo Ge gave the money to the single mother, he must know that this money can not save his own life, perhaps can help this woman who is suffering for a time.
In the movie, Bogo and his sister have not seen each other for many years, reunited near a minibus station, and the two people obsessively look at the amount of the jackpot in the lottery station, like when we don't want to struggle.
His sister asked him, "Where are you staying tonight?" ”
A very ordinary sentence is worth a thousand words, even if you haven't seen it for many years, all your loved ones are worried about is whether you have a tile to cover yourself, and whether you are living well now.
And, when do you get home?
When I was young, I wanted to break into the world, A little older, and when I was older, I knew that the background of life was nothing more than: family peace and joy.
Without this, everything else would be bleak.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the interpretation of Bogo's design</h1>
Many film critics believe that one of the biggest "bugs" in the film is why Bo Ge lived in prison for a few years, why is he like a waster who has lost all his martial arts?
In my opinion, this is precisely one of the highlights of the film.
Bogo was once a financial leader who was jailed for embezzling public funds, but their group bears unshirkable responsibility for some of the darker side of society.
For example, people in the financial circle mislead the working class into the high-risk investment market, and they spare no effort to publicize the speculation, so can we understand that the prosperity of Hong Kong's financial circle has also caused a group of homeless People to some extent?
Bogo confesses his past more than once in the movie, saying: Let people put all their money on me.
The money invested will be lost, and the customer will lose everything.
Therefore, Bo Ge's good deeds to the underclass are not only their own salvation, but also a reflection on Hong Kong's financial industry.
postscript
Watching a movie, but asking for more, is nothing more than watching it and leaving a sigh, wiping away a few tears, and then thinking about a question: If we still have a chance in life, do we want to try again.
A movie can't be all-encompassing, and "Mai Lu Ren" may have some script and director problems, but I think it is flawed, and it is still a warm movie worth watching in autumn.
If I had to doubt so much, I would have to quote a line from Bogo in the movie: Do I have to tell you that I used to have a yacht?
THE END!
