One is Wang Jiamei, a 16-year-old mainland girl, who followed her remarried mother to Hong Kong, speaking poor Cantonese and not fitting in.
The other is Ding Zicong, a fat boy with a miserable childhood, who barely made ends meet by driving a truck in his early twenties. The blow of a broken heart left him devastated.
Jiamei chose a beautiful way to leave, suffocating to death in joy. It was the fat boy who helped her complete it.
"It turns out that such a thin person also has so much fat. There is a form but no spirit, a spirit but no soul."
The damp and cramped public housing, the dirty and narrow streets, this is another side of Hong Kong. Excluding the shining Victoria Harbour and the towering office buildings, the people in the story are like lonely wandering souls in this city. They don't have rooms with a view, but only loneliness that is more terrible than death.
The fashionable intellectual style of Annie Hall
Maybe Woody Allen himself didn't know that Annie Hall, which he wrote, directed and acted in, was not only the only work in his film career that won him the Oscar for Best Director, but also a masterpiece in people's hearts 46 years later.
In addition to the plot and values ​​that movie fans pay attention to, the presentation of clothing has attracted everyone's attention. He put "suits" and "trousers", which were considered "exclusive to men" at the time, on the heroine, and set off a trend of "women dressed as men" on the screen.
When filming Annie Hall started, Ruth Morley directly let Diane Keaton create at will, so the costumes in the movie were either taken directly from her closet or bought from the Ralph Lauren brand and then worn on the screen.
These dressing styles that emphasize comfort, practicality, and look extremely confident have inspired many women and set off a trend of wide-leg pants for women's professional wear.
When she raised her sickle to kill, no one did not cheer for her
"The Story of Kim Bok-nam's Murder Case" is a powerful and moving movie, recommended to every woman.
The first half of the film is dark and depressing. There is endless farm work to do, endless beatings, and endless curses to hear, but Bok-nam still smiles, because Hae-won's arrival makes her imagine that she can still get warmth.
Her brother-in-law can rape her unscrupulously, her husband can bring prostitutes back, and she eats outside the door like an animal, holding a basin and listening to her aunt's curses.
Hae-won was the only person who had shown kindness to Bok-nam. Even if it was not true, it was Bok-nam's fantasy of all the beautiful things in the world. However, fantasy is fantasy after all... Many people don't understand why Bok-nam didn't kill Hae-won. In her heart, Hae-won represents the life she longs for, and this beautiful yearning is to be protected at the cost of death.
"Extreme Cold" is a brave and fierce artistic surge in the 1990s
"Frozen" was completed in 1994 and tells a dark story about death performance art. During those years, in Beijing's East Village, a group of artists who gave up their state assignments gathered together in an attempt to subvert traditional art concepts through bizarre and deviant performance art.
The performance art in the film seems to have completed a holy sacrifice and completed the artist's exploration of human nature. But the conspiracy behind this death feast is extremely strange and debauched. As for "human nature", it is more suitable to be broken down into two words: "people" and "sex". The former dies, while the latter continues to reproduce and be Carry forward.
Qi Lei is gone, Jia Hongsheng is gone, and the brave and vigorous 1990s are gone forever.
A satirical film masterpiece | A film that sees through the essence of capitalism
This is a surrealist satirical film, a masterpiece of Buñuel that has not been surpassed so far. The film uses a seamless collage of dreams within dreams to vividly portray the inner anxiety of a group of upper-middle-class bourgeois characters, and the absurd atmosphere created by the interweaving of reality and dreams in the film also ridicules the ridiculous respectability of the bourgeoisie.
The upper class, the endless dreams, the endless roads, the endless meals, the dining table is the best stage to show class identity. The recurring aimless walking of six people seems to be unable to see the depression of the future. The satire brings a layer of absurd mystery of the reality of dreams. The respectability of the class was finally shattered by the gunshots.
Chen Kaige's best film, "King of Children", is seriously underestimated.
The film tells the story of educated youth going to the countryside. In 1966, students stopped classes to make revolution, and the Red Guard organization emerged.
The film takes us into the spiritual world of educated youth who went to the countryside with an observer's attitude, without any subjective evaluation, and shows the absurdity of education during the Cultural Revolution.
Education bound by rules and regulations has long lost the most authentic and natural learning attitude. This is what Chen Kaige wants to express through the image of Lao Ganer.
The desire to fight against the times and break through the cage was eventually extinguished bit by bit, and the fate of the individual was eventually swept away in the torrent of history.
Back to today, in some aspects, similar times and fates seem to be happening again, but even so, each individual is still a person who is looking for light in the cracks.
An experimental film starring Yu Hua, Acheng, Wang Shuo and other writers
The biggest feature of "Poetic Age" comes from its cast, which includes several important figures in the Chinese writer circle at that time: Acheng, Wang Shuo, Yu Hua, Lin Bai, Chen Cun, Xu Xing, Fang Fang, Xu Lan, Zhao Mei, Ding Tian, ​​Ma Yuan, Mian Mian
The film was shot in 1999, but due to various reasons, it failed to pass the review and was backlogged in the Film Bureau for many years. After being renamed "The Obscure" in 2006, it was released in a small range
This is a film that is more experimental than ornamental, and it is also a revolutionary move. The director removed the framework of documentary and feature film and put the two on the same topic and space for free dialogue.
Each writer in the film expressed his own views on "what is poetry", but in fact, how the writer views poetry is not important. What is important is that talking about poetry itself is a kind of sentiment, or a pursuit.
It's so sad, a group of children left to fend for themselves. "Nobody Knows"
The Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda's "Nobody Knows" is based on a real social news. Single mother Keiko gave birth to four children, 12-year-old eldest son Ming, 11-year-old daughter Kyoko, 5-year-old son Shigeru, and 3-year-old daughter Xiaoxue. They come from four unidentified fathers.
Keiko is the kind of person who is beautiful only when she is seen under the lights. She has huge bags under her eyes.
The camera stays in this narrow room, recording the lives of these four children and their fate.
However, no one knows all this.
This is a tragedy, but there is no resentment or hatred in the movie, nor is there crying or shouting. The temperament is calm and calm, the light is bright, and the music is brisk. It is calm, but not indifferent. Only in a long gaze can you feel the deep despair, fear and unwillingness.
The movie also reveals an extremely powerful force: that is the energy of life trying to survive.
"Detachment" is not recommended for you to watch a second time. It is a depressing movie.
There are two kinds of good works. One is to discover the extreme beauty of the world, and the other is to explore the extreme suffering of the world. This is the latter.
The male protagonist Henry has melancholy eyes and a cold temperament. He knew in his childhood that he was the product of his mother and grandfather. The painful experience made him not want to have too much emotional connection with anyone. He believed that he was just a passer-by, so he only worked as a substitute teacher and never taught for a long time.
"Life is a difficult redemption. What we need to learn throughout our lives is to embrace each other."
Hong Kong movies are not dead, the craziest Hong Kong movie of the year is here
Cheang Pou-soi's new crime movie "Murder"
In the series of works that fully demonstrate Cheang Pou-soi's personal style, the animal impulses aroused by the little people at the bottom of society in dark and extreme situations, and the series of mental disorders and abnormalities derived from them, are the themes he has always been concerned about.
The very attractive part of this film is that it has been shown at the beginning that fate cannot be changed, and heaven cannot be defeated. There will be disasters, there will be difficulties, and nothing can be avoided.
But the whole process of the film is about how the master and the young master change their fate, which is very interesting. Although the background is desperate, it always gives you a little hope.
My film history | "The Assassin" One person, no one like him
Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Assassin" is adapted from Tang Pei Xing's legend "Nie Yinniang", and won the Best Director Award in the competition unit of the 68th Cannes Film Festival for this film.
A friend of mine told me that he fell asleep in the cinema. It is not shameful to fall asleep while watching Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies. He also shared with me the reason why he fell asleep. There are many natural sound effects in the movie. I burst into tears after watching such a boring movie. The crying point is the Qingluan dancing in the mirror. "Nie Yinniang" is ultimately a story of loneliness. The queen talks about the lonely phoenix seeing its own image in the mirror, crying, dancing all night, and dying. A person is in a beautiful building, no one knows, no one understands, and can only go one way to the end, alone, no one like him. Loneliness is not only Yinniang, but also Tian Ji'an, and myself.
This is the masterpiece of the Polish genius Zulawski. The goddess Adjani won the Cannes and César double actress with this film "Possessed" and "Quartet" in the same year.
Adjani played two roles in the film, one is a pure and kind female teacher with green eyes and golden ponytails, and the other is a black-haired, blue-eyed, paranoid and neurotic heroine. It is worth mentioning that even the heroine has a self-split mentality.
The plot is that the housewife played by Adjani wants to divorce her husband who is an agent. The husband can only send a detective to investigate, but he finds that his wife's affair is actually a Cthulhu demon with tentacles and mucus all over his body.
The ghost story of the bed sheet spirit, a stream-of-consciousness movie about death and reincarnation
When we watch movies in the past, if we lose our loved ones, we always pay more attention to the surviving one of the couple, to see how he lets go and moves forward, but this "Ghosts" is very different, it focuses on the dead person.
It uses the "perspective of the dead soul" to shoot a very different mourning film. And the object of mourning is not the dead person, but the "lost love".
The ghost covered with bed sheets can be everyone in the world, who desperately grasps the sand in his hand in the hourglass of time. If the body is rotten, there is still a soul, and the obsession with the world cannot be eliminated, and can only wander for a long time waiting for someone, how desperate it will be. I hope that the blade of time can heal the sadness in a long and painful way with the ebb and flow of the sea.
Paris in the turbulent years, a beautiful and psychedelic youth epic
Compared to eroticism, I would like to call "The Dreamers" a youth epic about movies, which reproduces 1968 so realistically and cruelly. The most important year in the history of French film, not only did a group of young people make a big event that year, but more importantly, this big event was caused by movies. The big demonstrations led and launched by a group of film directors are always something to be proud of in the film industry, because here movies are no longer just a tool for entertainment and leisure, they have a deeper meaning.
Youth is not only about unbridled behavior and rampant sexual desire, but also about hopeless faith and unswerving anger.
A gorgeous dark fairy tale, Anne Hathaway turns into a witch to bully children
"The Witches" is a fairy tale movie with gorgeous style, a little dark and a little cult. Adults and children may have completely different interpretations after watching it.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but no one is sad. When the grandmother asked: Are you ready to execute the plan? "Old man."
Our old boy answered with full of energy and laughter: Grandma, I am always ready.
No matter how unfair fate is, no matter how much suffering he has experienced, the crying little boy has learned from the wisdom of his grandmother to embrace every day of his remaining life with all his strength.
As a fantasy film for children, it hides the suffering under the kindness and innocence of children, focuses on the depiction of the magic world of the evil witch, and ends the big plot with the victory over the witch.
"Perfume"|Using dirt to depict purity, using horror to narrate romance
This is a controversial movie since its release. A crazy and pious genius jokes about heaven in hell, using dirt to depict purity, and using horror to narrate romance. It seems that there is a trace of hatred for the killer during the movie, and you are worldly and impure.
Grenouille was born in the dirtiest fish market in Paris and was sent to an orphanage when he was a baby. He has a talent for smell that ordinary people cannot match. He can distinguish and remember all kinds of smells, whether they are smelly or fragrant. Smell has become his special way of learning language.
Someone once told me that what he was desperately looking for was actually the smell of love. Does love also have fragrance? When people were reveling in the square to reach the peak of love and desire, he found that he had never been able to love. The fragrance disappeared. It was as if he had never existed.
Beautiful and explosive abuse, the end of love is loss
Depending on the theme of women's growth, the art film "Tokyo Fall" is very depressing.
It may not be accurate to define the theme of this movie simply as women's growth, but perhaps the theme is included in this line of dialogue in the movie.
"Are you rich?"
"It's not me who is rich, it's Japan that is rich, but there is no proud wealth. She creates anxiety and turns people into masochists"
《A visit from the dead to the livin》
A magical pioneer movie from the 1980s, still very fashionable
This is director Huang Jianzhong's favorite work. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, spirits are not allowed to be created. Most of the "ghosts" in mainland movies have become fantasies or nightmares in the minds of mentally ill patients. However, in the wild 1980s, this movie tells the story of "ghosts visiting the living five times".
Once upon a time there was a country called Yugoslavia
The strange imaginations in director Kusturica's mind are so fascinating. I watched "Underground" in the 320-minute director's cut. There were four or five times during the film that I thought the movie would end perfectly here, but he could actually keep going.
When revolution is a carnival and history is a scam, poetry rises in the absurdity. The paradise is broken apart, carrying everyone away. The film ends with the noisy jazz brass music that runs through the whole film. Someone outside the screen said, "Once upon a time, there was a country called Yugoslavia."
If there is a movie that represents summer, I would choose "Call Me by Your Name". The story is not complicated, it is just a brief encounter and love between two teenagers in a quiet Italian town in the summer of 1983.
The boy with a good figure lies lazily on a folding chair, under the scorching sun, with bare shoulders and back, shorts, long legs, strong hormones, lust... The water in the swimming pool is sparkling. The chirping of insects rises and falls with the sound of the wind, continuous, as if the summer afternoon time is endless.
I think in love, when one person calls another person by his own name, it means completely giving himself up.
This may be the best annotation of love.
"Silver Planet" is a utopian fantasy about religion and nothingness
Is this a postmodernist science fiction epic or a carefully arranged mythological fable?
Is the psychedelic and depressing images and obscure lines the director's poetic inspiration or a casual doodle?
There is no doubt that "Silver Planet" is a refresh of the film view and a subversion of people's existing viewing habits.
Irregular shaking handheld photography, weird and exaggerated shooting angles, the use of a large number of wide-angle lenses, the camera's rhythmic tracking and movement, each character tries his best to present a hysterical state of madness...
The whole movie is more like an aria of the end of the world, a confrontation between utopia and dystopia, and a fight between faith and philosophy! From people's desire for servility to religious beliefs, a hysterical delusion is derived. Nothing is more ironic than destroying the gods they created.
"A Sun"|Life is a life with shadows and darkness
This is a work that hits the heart directly without pretense. It uses the warmest name to shoot the coldest life, but the ultimate purpose is healing. If there are friends who want to watch a healing movie, you can recommend this movie to him.
Everyone and animal can find a corner with shadows, but Ah Hao doesn't. He has no water tank, no dark place, he only has "sunlight", which must be 24 hours without interruption, bright and warm, and the sun shines on everyone.
The English name of the movie is "A Sun", which is the same as A Son. Father Ah Wen only admits that he has one son, and his words come true.
In the education we receive, darkness is not allowed to exist. Perhaps this movie is to remind us that everyone who is dazzled by the sun needs to hide in the shadows. A person who can only bathe in the sun has no way to put away the darkness that is born with being human.
花 | A love that started with rape can be so passionate
Lou Ye is probably the best director in China at photographing women's emotions and body texture. He does not have the narcissistic aesthetics of the petty bourgeoisie and literary youth in the usual sense, and confuses people with a sense of form and atmosphere. Instead, he uses a female perspective to delicately explore the love and pain of contemporary Chinese people in chaos. "Flowers" did not disappoint, with beautiful handheld photography and charming trance tones. This movie may not be seen by many people like his theatrical films, but it is an important mark in his works that is difficult to erase.
