"Sweet Honey" is a lingering and moving work. The plot is as light as the orchid and vanilla, and the layout as light as the smoke of the smoke is a model of impeccable quality. But behind the fateful life of Liming and Maggie Cheung, another hidden love deduces lovesickness and a lifetime of infatuation. According to dialectics, Liming's aunt is a very tragic character when she appears. When a man has a hundred women, he is the emperor, but when a woman has a hundred men, she can only be one prostitute. Dawn's aunt is an old prostitute. Strangely, the more people who are so good at Fengyue, the more infatuated they appear. And in her sweet past, she was talking about a relationship with Hollywood star William. Before her death, she had been nagging, wanting Li Xiaojun to go to the United States to help her find William if possible in the future.
Li Xiaojun in the play is a gentle and kind man. He always listens to everything his aunt tells him with a simple and honest smile, but most of the audience outside the play have guessed that she is just trying to gain some warm comfort from others, no matter what. Whether it's a made-up story or a long-term dream, most of these women are pathetic and pitiful. At the end of the film, when Li Xiaojun went to see his aunt again, she had already passed away. Li Xiaojun sorted out the items left by his aunt and discovered the truth of the matter. She once said how beautiful she was when she was young, but this is nowhere to be found in the present tense. She used to reminisce about the dinner with William, but these disturbing memories are more like self-pity and self-love lies . The old appearance has made it impossible to restore her attractive appearance at that time, and the strange behavior makes people feel that women are good at deceiving themselves. However, when Li Xiaojun took out the items that had accompanied her through her youth and the photos that confirmed her years from her aunt's box, the voice-over of the movie came with the last words she left to Li Xiaojun, and all the answers were revealed. , It was the yellowed objects that witnessed the clear memories she took away. It turned out that everything the old man said was true. What she said, her attractive appearance, her encounter with William, were all in the photos, as well as the tableware and tablecloth that she secretly brought out while eating at the Peninsula Hotel.
These are all amazing. This insignificant meal completely consumes a young girl from youth to old age. Her life is so romantic and tragic, poverty is legendary, how many rainy seasons will not come again. , how many romances cannot be relived, and is she happy or unfortunate?
