Two days ago, Xiaobian went to see the premiere of "Lucky is Me", and xiaobian, who was already slightly disappointed in this year's summer movie, couldn't help but want to sigh two sentences after watching it: Hong Kong films are not dead! The Best Movie of the Summer Program has been born!
"Lucky Is Me" is directed by Luo Yaohui and starring Hui Yinghong, Chen Jiale, Liu Yaser, etc., and was officially released today. Looking at the title alone, I thought it was a youth love story, but it was actually a movie about finding and reconciling. The film tells the story of the bohemian teenager Asahi and the empty nest old man Aunt Fen, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, from strangers to relatives.
Asahi and Aunt Fen, although lonely, are lucky in the end because they meet each other. Just like at the end of the summer program full of bad movies, we are lucky to encounter the film "Lucky Is Me".
The film reflects the hearts of most Hong Kong people through the stories of small people. The story takes place in Hong Kong, a complex city that has experienced more than a hundred years of colonization and later returned to its homeland, even though the economy is developing rapidly, but because of the regime change, Hong Kong people have always been confused about their own identity: Who am I? Where are my roots? Where is my future? Therefore, "constantly searching" is a motif often expressed in Hong Kong movies.
The characters in this film are all in the mood of anxiety, uneasiness and loneliness, and they want to find the warmth of the world. And this movie presents the warmth between people.
The protagonists of the movie, Xu and Aunt Fen, they all eventually find their "relatives", although this is not a kinship that relies on blood, but the emotions and grace are real.
Asahi is a rootless man, his mother dies, his father remarries and has children with someone else, and he has no contact with him since. But he was
A man who desperately desires a family.
At first, he hoped that his father would accompany him to visit his deceased mother, and later he called to build a relationship with him further. All he did was to end his wandering state and stop living like an orphan. But in the end, he did not get the bridge in his father.
Luckily, he met the warm Aunt Fen, stitching up his loneliness.
Like Xu, Aunt Fen is also a lonely person, who is childless and unaccompanied under her knees. There used to be only one tenant in the house, but eventually the tenant also left her.
When aunt Fen is represented, it is mostly an indoor shot, using cramped space and cool colors to metaphorically describe the loneliness of the characters. The window is an important prop in the movie, when Asahi first arrived at Aunt Fen's house, the window in the house was broken, and Asahi tried to open it but did not succeed. This is a metaphor for Aunt Fen's heart is closed, and the indifference of society and the alienation of interpersonal relationships make her close the window of her heart.
Aunt Finn was always worried about her future, she said:
I don't want to die and no one knows.
However, Aunt Fen is lucky, and in the process of getting along bit by bit, Asahi successfully "opened the window" and entered her heart.
The theme of the film is searching, which is a heavy topic, but the film does not deliberately immerse itself in a sad atmosphere, but allows warmth and humor to coexist.
The director did not overly sensationalize, but on the contrary found a perfect balance between sensibility and rationality, always using natural emotional outpouring to promote the development of the story. Even if it is occasionally sensational, the director will shake a little humor and make the audience laugh.
All kinds of point-to-point warm clips, Xiaobian does not make more spoilers here, I hope that everyone can go to the theater to experience it for themselves.
"Sister Peach"
Four years ago, "Sister Peach" brought us touched and depressed, and today, "Lucky Me" brings us warmth and humor.
The most impressive thing in the film is this sentence:
Being a human being is not that you help me, I help you.
Maybe this is life, lonely people will not be lonely forever, will always find their own warmth.
