The more beautiful, the sadder, the more dangerous, the more heartbroken.

It's an old movie from a long time ago. I remember that I accidentally bought the "Angel of the Sunset" disc in high school. It happened that the computer couldn't play the disc. After Shu Qi's "My Wife is a Big Brother 3", I was bored, so I found "Sunset Angel" to pass the time. Unexpectedly, it evoked my infinite heartstrings and had to write a film review.

So Close...so close, so far.

Let's talk about 3 angels first.

Shu Qi - Is there really such a gentle killer in the world?

Wearing white clothes, brown sunglasses, and flowing black waist-length hair - the moment Shu Qi stepped straight into the camera with white high-heeled shoes, Sister Yu's aura easily locked me in my seat.

She was considerate. She only shot the security guard's leg. She smiled at the elevator girl and said, "After the count of 20, take the elevator to the bottom floor." I was intoxicated by that warm smile. It's not that she doesn't love "Uncle Chen next door", but she would rather not approach him for fear that her "occupation" will affect him. I am also willing to stop the rivers and lakes and wash my hands in a golden basin for the sake of "Uncle Chen".

She is quiet, with a cold and calm spirit, no matter whether she sits on a chair to settle countless opponents at the beginning, or later cleans up the trouble caused by her sister, when she gets rid of Karen Mok, or when she faces dozens of men in black with guns and sisters She still didn't panic, a pistol, a headset, even if you smashed all the computers with guns, shot through my heart, and saw my sister escaped successfully, it was enough. There was still such a warm arc in the corner of her mouth.

She has a childlike innocence. In the scene where Shu Qi and Zhao Wei were fighting in the bathroom, a pure white bath towel was wrapped around just right by the two of them, showing Shu Qi's sexy figure flickering in front of the audience. Show the unique love between sisters.

Zhao Wei - Your cuteness makes people tempted, and your birth makes people pity.

I have to say, when Zhao Wei said, I listened to them a song, and then released the song "close to you", I smiled and fell in love with this lovely girl. What do people say about you? Listen to your favorite song to the security? This girl is naive, cute, and full of personality and blood.

When you stepped on roller skates, shuttled through the record store, and saw Karen Mok, a sly light flashed in your eyes - then put on her headphones, put on the CD, and the moment the wind drifted away, right? In fact, you already fell in love with this woman who was born on the same day as your sister? At that time, can you imagine how she will look up in amazement and look for you half a minute later?

It is precisely because he likes her that he keeps provoking her, putting on headphones to listen to his favorite song, giving her a birthday cake from his favorite store, calling her to celebrate her birthday, and asking her, "What is that? Not your boyfriend?" After knowing that it wasn't her boyfriend, she asked again, "If I wasn't a bad guy, would you choose him or me?" - choose him or me to accompany you. You are a policeman, I am a bandit, you are a woman, and I am a woman. All that's left is a light kiss - at the corner of your mouth.

How I want to Close to you.

"Why do
birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just
like me, they long to be
like me, they have been looking forward to
Close to you
to be near you"

Karen Karen— -Why do you always meet like this, keep silent, and then miss it?

At the end of the film, Karen Mok said: "I remember someone said that a gun is sometimes like a bird. If you hold it too loosely, she will fly away, and if you squeeze it too tightly, she will suffocate to death. I think this sentence uses It may be more appropriate to describe the relationship between me and her soldier and thief."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the last kiss on the lips is definitely not friendship... In 2001, the topic of les was still very sensitive, right? Probably for the same reason, the film was banned in the mainland. This reminds me of a little further back, the same high-quality old film by Karen Mok - "Heartbeat". For some reason, I always feel that it is a bit similar to "Angel of the Sunset". In the heart, Karen Mok likes Gigi Leung. In the heart, she said - "The best thing is to miss him. When we can't have it, giving up may be the only way to not make ourselves miserable."

I don't understand Why does the screenwriter always ask Karen Mok to play such a tragic role. It is always like this that she encounters a beautiful woman, but she can only miss her. Does she look better to miss?

But in "Angel of the Sunset", after all, there is such a light kiss, stay on the lips, blooming beautiful plum blossoms spread, bloom in the heart, keep memories.

I still like her ability, cheerfulness, righteousness and kindness in the play.


There are many fascinating little details in the film.

1. After Karen Mok received the birthday cake from Zhao Wei, she quickly positioned the camera. When she stepped onto the table in a few steps, I thought she would smash the cake at the camera. Unexpectedly, she smeared the cake with one hand, put it in her mouth, and said "it tastes good" - this moment I was actually flashed. Alas...I thought I was very loving!

2. After seeing 7-11 on a rainy night, Song Seung-heon said to Shu Qi, wait for me, then dashed to the store, picked up a bottle of ice water, and put it in the microwave with hot water , I didn't forget to stretch my neck to see if Shu Qi was still waiting for him outside, and then put the hot water in Shu Qi's hands to warm his hands, which was also missed. T_T

3. Shu Qi died. Zhao Wei went home to see her dead sister. When she couldn't cry, she found the white towel she used to play with her, put her head on the towel, and hugged her where she cried. I also started crying.

Finally, let's end with a song sung to Zhao Wei by sister Karen Mok:
"you,
you,
a fading memory of you
has a faded memory of you.
a loneliness that calls on you
that I need you,
when twilight comes too soon
,
to mourn, to haunt, our reverie
to mourn, haunt the daydreams about us.
you,
you,
won't you tell me what to
do
what to say and how to
prove
that i long to be so close to you
proves that i long to be so close to you.
that is all i ask of you
,
i can't help it but rm so in love with
you
don't tell me that's too hard on you
cause
no one else will do cause no one else will
do "

So close to you...
