Disillusionment and Ghosts

In fact, I have wanted to say something about the Hong Kong movies I have seen for a long time, but I didn't say anything about it later. By saying a few words, it can be regarded as an explanation to myself. Most of the Hong Kong movies always make me feel that there are shadows wandering behind, ghostly lingering in the movie for a long time and refuse to go away, reminding me that this is a group of people with real ideals who obviously know that their pursuit is hopeless. Inverted to express the feeling of sadness and sorrow in my heart and chatted to amuse myself.

Often they hide their helplessness about life among the various laughing and scolding people in the movie, and a seemingly weak and powerless protagonist runs through the panorama. The road of life, fortunately, covers all the hardships we encounter in life in a clever way, ignoring the harm and temptation they bring to us. For the secular world, you want to get out of the transcendent life to determine the judgment and seek a way to get rid of it once and for all. However, the reason why life lives is that it is entangled around you all the time, and the slight invasion on you makes you never want to get rid of it. . He always wanted to say something to comfort or relieve himself, but in the end he just kept the words in his mouth and couldn't spit it out. Can be dazed and overwhelmed.

All kinds of love, hatred and entanglements in the movie have been transformed into a strong expression of their inner self. What they really want to explain is not the conspiracy and conspiracy of vendetta, nor the infatuation of love, hatred and hatred, but here All kinds of complicated life and the world are interpreted in various ways to comfort oneself, or it can be said that one can seek sympathy for the weak and arouse a kind of compassion in their hearts, proving that they are still living in Among them, can experience the so-called joy of life and death. The real thing lies in their indifference to the various forms of life in the world in their hearts, it can even be said to be very indifferent, and it is precisely because of this that they appear to be so reckless and unrestrained in their works. So they don't care at all about what they show in their movies, what is it that they are really looking for?

In my opinion, this is just a kind of accusation. It’s really not about a specific person or group of characteristics in the movie. The object of the accusation can only be no object. When there is no object of the accusation, it is also accusing itself. The subject, accusing a solution of the end of eternity to dredge, in turn arises on the basis of fantasy and seeks "outside" to obtain the so-called liberation from the current fact. Of course, this "outside" must be truly magnificent. Square things.

In order to seek a foothold in life, I do not want to live lightly in the footsteps of vigorous life and let myself lose the weight of life, but can only take a step back and stand behind others and retain pure innocence and kindness as my own. The axis of behavior participates in the torrent of life, let it be fierce and turbid, so that it can safely retain this only center of gravity. Fortunately, with this point, the movie will not appear light or too loud.

"The road of life is like a long road with beautiful dreams. The road is windy and frosty, and the wind and frost are dry. In the red dust, there are many directions of beautiful dreams. The wind seems to sigh in a dream, and the road follows people." "The world is, beautiful dreams and aspirations. In dreams Vaguely, there are faint tears. Where to go, to find the direction in my heart, the wind seems to sigh in a dream, the road is boundless."

This is more or less part of the portrayal of their generation of filmmakers, I don't know if Feelings are revealed in their films, and they are naked in front of the audience. It is precisely because many Hong Kong films have their unique status in the hearts of fans. Their films incorporate their experiences and insights in their lives. It seems that they guide the audience with the protagonist's vision in the film, and present them without adding too much to his evaluation, allowing the audience to judge what is shown by themselves. But accidentally left traces.

    I bought the tickets three months in advance. On the screen of the Yau Ma Tei Cinema, when Xiao Qian pushed open the wooden door, I felt like my brain was boiling. In the dark, I heard the men, women and children around me cry together. Collect all the imperfections into one perfect one, Wu Ma said it well, "If a person is born out of time, he might as well be a ghost."

    Even if there are countless Nie Xiaoqian, they will not be able to surpass Wang Zuxian. Fresh and elegant, with charm and style but no romance, whether it is seduction in the early stage or pity in the later stage, I really feel pity.
