A Simple Life

Sister Tao's "positive energy"

Xu Anhua's films often have a special sense of emotional substitution. The short life of a parent makes people feel ordinary and great, and it touches you unconsciously. Such as the surging loneliness and family affection in "Days and Nights in Tianshuiwei"; such as the heartwarming spiritual core under the shell of a cliché story in "The Thief of the Years". Yes, Xu Anhua's films often express family affection and warmth in a melancholy tone of life with the emotion of "laughing in tears". In...

Moving

A movie I saw a few years ago, I turned it over and watched it again today, maybe because of the experience in the past few years, it has added another touch. When I watched this film back then, it was entirely because of Andy, which carried too many memories of my youth. At that time, I just felt that Andy was getting old. I read some film reviews and followed the trend and sent some emotions, but not from Inner emotion.
     I rewatched this film today, and I feel different. Sister Tao...

His body towards me is also the same - "Sister Peach"

The movie "Sister Peach" should really be seen in theaters. Not to talk about the viewing effect, but because such a good film is qualified to make me pay the ticket price to show respect.

Ye Dexian's acting skills are really consummate. Carrying a vegetable basket, taking trembling steps, accompanied by a trembling smile, he took out his presbyopic glasses, put on a coat, and carefully selected seafood one by one... There is no trace of performance, the most...

old age, sad

Hui Anhua is a loyal practitioner of the Hong Kong New Wave. The two films I have seen continue this same lineage. The English name is more appropriate, a simple life, you see, this is the life of most people.

At the beginning of the year, I watched a TV series about the life of the elderly, and it was also a silent sad reminder like the bleak autumn wind. Perhaps, the unhappiness that can be said is not a tragedy. The real tragedy is silent.

In fact, it is not just the...

Does the marriage system really guarantee women?

Sister Tao never married and worked as a maid in Roger's house for a lifetime. According to the mainstream view of Chinese society, the evening scene of a woman like Sister Tao, who has no children and no husband, must be bleak. In fact, Sister Tao's later years were not bad. In order to find a suitable nursing home for her, Roger, the adopted son, ran around, inquired carefully, and paid all the expenses; Sister Tao did not forget to greet her when she was admitted to the nursing home, and...

Warm and emotional people are full of all kinds of details of life. In fact, the film is not about conveying the relationship between master and servant or respecting the old and caring for the young. I like this tune, and in fact, the film doesn't focus on the dark side of social issues, it's still very...

Not sensational, marketized, "big handsome guy" is only "ambiguous" with "big beauty" this time. Ye Dexian and Andy Lau's performances are really superb. I was deeply impressed by several scenes, such as the discussion of marriage in the park, such as calling Sister Tao after eating beef tongue... It's really comfortable to...
