- Hou Hsiao-hsien
, because he passed away, so pay homage and nostalgia.
The best time has passed in a flash, what can I use to untie the knot in my heart?
It is not so much that I like to watch movies about youth, but it is an attempt to retrieve some familiar memories and lost self in the images.
"Blue Door" is such a fascinating film and youth.
Regarding youth, it is natural to think of "Sunny Days" and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle". In the past, I never understood why many directors and writers always linked "youth" and "cruelty". In my memory My youth was just plain, so plain that it slipped away before I could taste it, except for an unforgettable pain.
It turns out that the real "cruel" is a battle from the heart.
Why does the story always take place at the age of seventeen? Maybe it is such a budding age, everything has disappeared before I have time to comprehend what is going on, except the laughter of the books of the same age that I have vaguely read "Flower Season. Rainy Season" and "Three Doors" are still in memory, like Chen Bolin's hearty smile filled this supposedly sentimental story with sunshine and hope.
PS: Taiwan is such a place, an island rich in youth stories, and has chosen two aesthetic interests that are diametrically opposed to Hong Kong movies. This young island is good at preserving pure memories, and it is not difficult to understand why many older people still call themselves "us boys" or "us girls".
