" "The furthest distance in the world" "
" Cherish the person in front of you "
" If you have something to say, "
" goodbye is also a friend. , But in real life, there are inevitably all kinds of "misunderstandings" between people, but due to communication problems, it is usually difficult for "misunderstandings" to be turned into "understandings", which causes various regrets in life .
All this helplessness is revealed in the new film "The Taste of Peppercorns" starring Sammi Cheng, and this is life.
was very happy to be the first to watch this good Hong Kong film. Seeing the "flavor of peppercorns", I immediately thought that this film would be a gourmet film, but it turned out to be an uncompromising humanity film. Emotional blockbuster. It is adapted from Zhang Xiaoxian’s novel "My Love Is So Spicy", and there will be subtitles introduced at the beginning of the film. If you see Zhang Xiaoxian and see "My Love Is So Spicy", the name of this novel, I believe everyone will basically think this It is a vigorous love story.
However, in "The Taste of Chinese Pepper", there are not many elements of love, but family affection and sisterhood are shown to their fullest. It turns out that in addition to the character setting and story background, the film has been specially adapted in all aspects. The most basic thing about
is that the names of the three sisters have changed from Xia Ruri, Xia Ruyue, Xia Ruxing to Xia Rushu, Xia Ruzhi, and Xia Ruo. Personally, I appreciate this deliberate and special optimization change, which is more Hong Kong flavor, which also makes the ending of the movie different from the novel. So do people prefer the ending of the novel or the ending of the movie? I still have to go and watch it myself, and I personally appreciate movies more. Compared with the taste of Hong Kong, it is more intimate for us Cantonese who also speak Cantonese.
However, the screenwriter has not only deliberately changed the names of the three protagonists to "tree, branch, fruit", which forms an invisible causal connection, and the rhythm of the plot is well controlled, especially the front and back echoes. People watch and talk about it. Although the first segment of the film will be a little bit dull, it is not drowsy because it is the beginning, and when the three sisters "tree, branch, and fruit" meet, the excitement of the story begins to appear vividly and vividly.
In addition, it is not only the plot, but also the unique golden line:
"I want to be with you"
"I can be with you"
"This is not important, the important thing is' "
" Two people travel together, I can drive you there, or take a train or a bus."
"If you learn to drive, you can decide where you want to go."
Obviously, these are some chicken soup-like principles, and there are a lot of them in the play, especially the two "soy sauce-style" Friendship guest actor: Andy Lau and Ren Xianqi, two well-known men, said every sentence in the play is very flavorful, and even a knowing smile. In fact,
personally prefer the "stems" in Cantonese. Each "stem" is quite meaningful and can be described as "chicken soup golden sentence". This is for everyone to appreciate in the film. But if you are not familiar with Cantonese, you may not understand the meaning of these "stalks".
However, what makes this great drama wonderful is also due to the acting skills of the actors. Everyone acted very online, especially the heroine Zheng Xiuwen. This time, she did not use "hysteria" to "twitch" the audience's emotions, she did not use "undressing and explicit" to entice the audience's visual perception, and she did not use "pretending to be foolish" to ignite the audience's laughter. point. But she just calmly interprets an ordinary Hong Kong girl, who seems very shrewd, but relatively "passive" in everything. In fact, she is a very fragile Hong Kong girl and forced by pressure, she is forced to become strong. Although it's just such an ordinary interpretation of true feelings, it makes me feel that Sammi Cheng did perform very well this time, and it is also the best of all her current movies, none of them.
In fact, what is interesting in the plot is the interaction and fetters between the three sisters. Due to the regrets left by the previous generation, the estrangement and special feelings existing in this generation of the three sisters. And the big sister Zheng Xiuwen cured the two younger sisters with true feelings, and later the two younger sisters healed Zheng Xiuwen again. Such a wonderful relationship structure has become the wonderful pen of this "Smell of Pepper".
"Tucao" at the end, the theme song of "The Flavor of Peppercorns" is "Say It", which is sung by Sammi Cheng himself, which is very nice and very topical. But there is only the Mandarin version, and if there is another Cantonese version, interspersed with the scenes in the play, I believe it will be even more perfect.
"The Flavor of Peppercorns" will be officially released on September 6. Don’t worry, it looks like a blockbuster gourmet, but it won’t make you hungry, but it’s easy to see you cry naturally. Remember to bring it Put on a paper towel to see.
