Throughout the film, the symbol of the hand is everywhere. First of all, it is the first intimate contact between the two protagonists in the film. Miss Hua uses her own hands to give each other the first lesson about sex between men and women. The class was quite lively and lively. "Will I treat you like this? Remember how you feel today. You will make me clothes look good in the future." Miss Hua was stroking the little tailor's naked body with her hands, half a threat, half a temptation . For her, the little tailor is like a plaything, and she can easily play with her between her palms. This sexual encounter is just a pastime when she is bored after dinner; and for the little tailor, this unique beginning. What the experience brought him was shame, excitement, and even a touch of pleasure.
And so the little tailor fell in love with the woman who had transformed him from a boy into a man with one hand. However, because of the disparity in status, he can only bury this affection in his heart, and the only thing he can do is to make one piece of cheongsam after another for his sweetheart. It's just that Miss Hua's attitude towards this relationship is constantly changing with the ups and downs of her destiny: she was disdainful when she became popular; she was afraid when she fell out of favor; when she was finally reduced to soliciting customers on the street and was dying of illness, she was Knowing it doesn't fit.
Secondly, the actors are very good, especially the part where Gong Li is putting on makeup in the mirror, which perfectly portrays the inner arrogance of a down-to-earth woman. Gong Li has completely overturned the bitter and cheating in "Judou" that has been branded in my heart for more than ten years. A sad and deep image of a woman in the old society who hates to marry and is weak.
There are many scenes of Miss Hua making phone calls in the film, and every call is also interspersed, which can better show the gap between Miss Hua and the little tailor, the arrogance at the beginning, the tailor's incomprehension and low attitude. There is a strong contrast between Miss Hua's attitude on the phone and the tailor's practice making perfect. The actors will change with time, and the polishing of the years is well portrayed.
In terms of music, in fact, there was something wrong with the headphones when I first watched it, and I could only hear bgm and lines that were not too high, but music can push my emotions to a peak, and even made me ignore the existence of lines, watching the subtitles in my heart Dubbing yourself. In Wong Kar-wai's lens, even the dim and dilapidated alleys and streets pouring rain seem to have stories. The same is true of music, whether it is Brazilian, American, popular, jazz, elegant or vulgar, in his films, he can only feel a nostalgic taste, a taste of Shanghai.
Sex is the most beautiful and obscure thing. Among them, hands are more direct and lingering than words, and more ambiguous and hazy than sexual organs. It also continued the usual ambiguity of Wong Kar-wai. Hands are the pride of Miss Hua and the tools for the little tailor to make a living. It is also an entry point for expressing about "contact". When this film was filmed, it happened to be during the SARS period. Everyone had to wash their hands frequently, wear masks, and not touch too much. This situation also brought inspiration to the film. Especially when Miss Hua finally thanked the tailor with her hand, the tailor wanted to kiss her, but the bitter repression that she had been rejecting all the time was vividly displayed.
In intimate relationships, the whole body is full of sexual organs.
