Why are the old movies so good?

It's strange that I didn't watch Carmen Mongkok until tonight. When Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung appeared, they couldn't help exclaiming with their friends, they were too young and beautiful. Maggie Cheung also brought some baby fat at that time, but it can be called a lot of style. It is obviously light makeup or even plain makeup, but it looks very sexy. I really like watching Jacky Cheung act. Movies in 1988, I haven't even been born yet.
It's Wong Kar-wai's first movie. It's not that Wong Kar-wai, but it's pretty good. Better than most of his films since. Don't play tricks, tell a simple story seriously.
At first, I couldn't figure out why Andy had to lose his life to do that useless thing. On second thought, maybe he was really unwilling to let his brother die so worthless. You all died to kill this man, and if he was still alive, you died in vain.

    1988, Director: Wong Kar Wai (Hong Kong), 30 years old. The film is Wong Kar-wai's directorial debut and was selected to be exhibited in the 1989 Cannes Film Festival Film Critics Week. With his unique style and keen tentacles, he was hailed as a cutting-edge director with extraordinary talent at that time. Although the material of the film is popular, the "anti-meaning" of the story itself makes the film not popular in the end, but has a special sense of authenticity. The director did not put people in the ordinary Jianghu film mode.

    Kowloon and Buenos Aires share a balcony at night, and bicycles rush away at the rhythm of horses. Hong Qi, who is not enlightened, is just a fly selling fish balls. Su Lizhen, who is not wearing a cheongsam, is as light as a beach. Drunken life, dreaming and death have not been summed up into a kind of wine, and time also burns itself ardently and does not pay attention to the ashes. Later, everyone was talking about "It's a pity that I can't turn my head around", who knew that Wong Kar Wai was Wong Kar Wai from the very beginning.

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: I did a lot of things for our godfather too. By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

    Fly: At least you were a hotshot for a while! But what about me? What about me? Everyone looks down on me. Does that make you happy? People think I'm nothing, like some stray dog just following you around! Did you know that? I'd rather be a hero for one day than go on being a fly all my life!

  • Wah: I just wanted to say...I found that glass.
