Some truths can only be understood too late

In the past few years, I often feel that no one can think of it, and my heart is empty. It doesn't mean that you are frustrated, or that you gambled, or that there is no one in your heart. Even if I deliberately thought about it, all that appeared were invisible shadows. Occasionally, I would dream of a few people. After waking up, I didn’t think about the sign of whether it was broken, whether the feelings were over, and I didn’t even think about contacting each other while the remnant thoughts were not gone. They still brushed their teeth and washed their faces as usual. Changing clothes for dinner, expressionless.

When I watched "The Great Master" for one to three years, I saw Gong Er, played by Zhang Ziyi, saying that he said that there is no regret in life, and that is a pity. If there are no regrets, it would be so boring. Seeing this, snickered. Sure enough, Wong Kar-wai was still Wong Kar-wai. Apart from Zhang Zhen, no one else can get out of Wong Kar Wai's movie.

Hong Kong directors, especially those who love to talk about things, are all one thing after all: they have to pay them back sooner or later. The same is true for Wang Jiawei, but he is not talking about the world, not the world, but the love, and it is not the calamity, not the life, but the heart. As the sister-in-law played by Maggie Cheung in "Evil Evil and West Poison" said, I used to think that sentence was very important because I believed that some things would last a lifetime. Thinking about it now, it makes no difference whether you say it or not, because some things will change. I always thought that I had won. I didn't know that I had lost until I saw the mirror one day. In my best time, my favorite person was not by my side-didn't I just bury my heart.

In fact, Gong Er is a bit like his sister-in-law. In fact, everyone in Wong Kar Wai's movie is very similar. Gong Er also said something similar: It was my luck to meet you at the best time. I have no time.
Someone said that Wang Jiawei had changed and his heart died. The former Wang Jiawei was He Baorong in "Happy Together", who cried with his teeth after Li Yaohui left; it was Murong Yan in "Evils of the East", who cried under a tree in the desert with lines in the corners of her eyes. Days. But Gong Er in "The Great Master" said: I choose to live in my years. Then he took a cigarette and spread it out in the silence, letting the past curl up, leaving with the wind. Quite a kind of chic energy.

In fact, people will never change, and neither will Wong Kar-wai. Gong Er took a sigh of relief and pissed himself off. Everyone was angering themselves, one by one lonely begging for defeat. It's just that Gong Er Xiang Ye Wen accepted the plant, as if he had been planted for life. As for whether she has confessed to herself, she knows it herself, Wang Jiawei knows it, and you know it too.

After the release of "The Great Master" the previous year, there were mixed reviews. When he came out of the theater, my buddy said that Ye Wen of Yen Zidan was still good-looking. I echo: Yeah, yeah. I remembered recommending Raymond Carver to this buddy and showing him my favorite "The Cathedral". After reading it, the buddies said, what is it? Hahahaha, I laughed for a long time, this is his cuteness. Yes, the first time I saw it, it felt the same as him. Watching this re-screening again, I really like it. It's not because of the 3D effect and the more transparent plot, but because of the unforgettable love of someone in the past two years.

Many years ago, there was a joke that was popular for a while. Ask, I want to ask you one last question before breaking up. Answer, loved. I have said something similar before-if you want to live a lifetime with someone, you have to make sure that you have to die at least once before you meet. In fact, these are all lies, who is willing to die. People will not impose the death penalty on their own hearts, at most they will be sentenced to life. But the world is very small, life is not long, the people are not consuming, they had to those who pressure in the heart, the weight of dying, fake
install them later.

Otherwise, what do you want to dream about at night.

Wong Kar-wai often uses Tony Leung, and his casual eyes are very suitable for his movies. But I feel that Tony Leung should never know what he is acting, as long as he is in charge of beauty and discharge. It's like a person glancing at you in a dimly lit place. You think this glimpse is an appointment in a previous life, but because the light is too strong, he stung his eyes. The same is true of Ye Wen in "The Great Master". Ye Wen is actually of little use. He is responsible for structuring the background of the times in the film, and for feelings as the object of Gong Er's love, playing a symbolic role. In this movie, Wang Jiawei is properly attached to Gong Er. That Gongji's eyes didn't change from beginning to end, but the first half was holding on, thinking that he was going to win. In the second half, the true feelings were revealed, and I thought, that's it, that's it. To smooth the arc of the characters, it is estimated that no director other than Wong Kar-wai has dared to do this.

This is the reason why I like "The Grand Master" again after two years. Although the martial arts scenes after the re-screening were beautiful to the extreme, and Zhang Ziyi was also beautiful to the extreme, this time I watched it with my heart, not as a simple kung fu movie. Just like the guy who accompanied me to the movie the year before last, you shouldn't watch Wong Kar-wai's film if you want to see Ye Wen. Movies with the Wong Kar-wai label are not commercial blockbusters even if their names are commercial. All Wong Kar-wai movies should not have names, or all movies should be called "Wang Kar-wai". He always tells the same story in the same way. But what he said will never be boring, because we are also experiencing the same thing.

It is better to wander around the world for a lifetime- fighting and killing.

This truth can only be understood too late, and the person in your heart will always understand it later than you.

    It is about a martial arts past, and the nostalgic taste of Wang Jiawei in the image fits the soul of the story. It can be seen as a dead martial arts or a legend of the Republic of China, with an old taste and a sense of distance. There are a few action scenes that are very beautiful. Ye Wenjin building's burials, funerals, and the string of cotton wool under the knives of the railway station are both vigorous and visually beautiful. The lines with strong rhyme and rhyme, the martial arts with a sharp glance, the martial arts that Xu Haofeng wanted to shoot was made by Wang Jiawei, which is very good.

    Zhang Ziyi, when will you come to sleep with me?

The Grandmaster quotes

  • Gong Er: Every great age presents a choice: to go forward, or stay back. I prefer to stay back, in the happiest times of my life.

  • [last lines]

    Ip Man: They say I spread wing chung throughout the world. I hope that's true. I didn't do it to acquire renown. The martial arts should be open to all, everyone should walk the same route. It all comes down to two words: Horizontal, Vertical.
