should have expected that Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" should be read as his own "Flowers", rather than a maximum restoration of the original work or the style of the times. Have everyone forgotten that his "Ashes of Time" is everything except the name? An alternative martial arts film that has little to do with Jin Yong’s original work?
No matter what era or what happens, as long as it is tainted with the three words "Wong Kar-wai", it must have that tone. Seeing how Director Wang changes the story to suit his own desires is one of the great pleasures of watching dramas.
Take the recently updated Love Line, for example. The more I watch it, the more I feel like these heroines who are entangled with Po look so familiar?
Miss Wang was alone in the pork ribs and rice cake shop. She waited from 8:30 to 11 o'clock in the evening, just waiting for Abao's reply - "Do you still need me? If you do, I will go wherever you go." Doesn't it look like A Fei in "Chungking Express" who waits for 663 in a fast food restaurant every day?
Reiko is used to being unreasonable and troublesome with Po, especially when she senses the arrival of an imaginary enemy. She wants to try her best to make Po understand that "no one can replace my position" and "with her, there is no me, and with me, there is no her."
Hey, isn't this the reincarnation of Liang Fengying in "Days of Being Wild"? I found that what Xu Zai’s ex-girlfriend said when she came to pick up things was not too different from Lingzi’s tone: “When I come here, everything here is mine!” Di), has high aspirations, is not fettered by petty love, can turn around decisively for her ambitions and ideals, and does not regret it even if she falls with a bruised nose and face. Even if she is as handsome as Hu Ge, she cannot change her mind. This kind of arrogance and coldness in her bones , very similar to the stewardess who dumped Tony Leung in "Chungking Express" and Gong Er, who runs for his beliefs and wants to be strong throughout his life.
Over the past thirty years, the heroines photographed by Wong Kar-wai can be roughly divided into two types:
One type is the "silly girl" who is devoted to love . She will put all her money on whoever she sees and pay in her own way to the end, even if it is Unreasonable possession, or silent stalking;
One is the "heartless woman" who is busy rushing forward . Men are all inns. When you love, you are sincere enough and it does not delay the determination when you leave. Anyway, it is impossible to look back. Yes, being stuck in the comfort zone will only trap their freedom to run into the distance.
But after a closer look, I found that, in fact, these two types of women are not much different in nature. They are both stubborn and stubborn. Once they are determined, they will go to the dark side, and they will be like eight cows. No return.
It’s just that everyone is pursuing different things. The former is love and men, while the latter is more self-centered.
It is precisely under the background of the changing times that women holding two completely opposite values can be included in the image at the same time by the keen sunglasses king.
Like Lingzi played by Ma Yili, I think she is very similar to my mother and a large number of traditional women who are about the same age as my mother. Especially that line - "You just need to say one more thing that you regret meeting me, and I will give you everything back!" It's just like what my mother-in-law often said, "Whose parents do you think are good? Go and recognize them, and I'll buy them for you by the way." "Take all these things away" is exactly the same.
It's like "owing" is a bond that maintains a relationship. For people whom I value from the bottom of my heart, I always try to find ways to make them feel that they owe them something, trying to make them feel grateful by repeatedly strengthening their sense of guilt, thereby firmly tying them down and never being able to regard myself as a "great benefactor". Hollow Man.
Isn’t that what Reiko did? Whenever Abao wanted to say something was wrong with her, she would immediately display her various medals of merit - "I was thinking about you", "I was afraid of losing your face", "I am the woman who blocked the knife for you" "... In short, thousands of words are condensed into one sentence - "You owe me so much debt, and you still have the nerve to complain?"
outputted it in a flurry, blocking the other party's mouth, and at the same time taking the opportunity to "blackmail" Get some benefits, no wonder my uncle called Reiko a "debt collector".
But in fact, of course it is not entirely because of money-loving.By packaging itself as a "pure and unreasonable market villain", seems to be looking for money, but in fact it is looking for love.
The reason why I have to use this method is because I am not confident and feel insecure! Every time Abao tried to accuse her or reason with her for another woman, it was a reminder to her that she was about to be abandoned. It seems that if she is picked on more and other women are more important than her, she will be nothing in front of Abao.
She doesn’t want to be ranked second, third or fourth, she wants to be unique, even though she knows that objectively, this point has never been established at all, but she still wants to deceive herself and others to the end, trying to use the "everything she owes, she pays back" The bond tightens the intimacy between himself and Abao, while weakening his fear of being abandoned.
Behind the "unreasonableness" lies a weak heart. The desperate effort on men and love stems from the lack of one's own sense of existence and value. Looking at the changes of the times, the further we go forward, the less love women feel in their families.
A small detail: Reiko was making a long-distance call in Japan. The person on the other end asked to buy a refrigerator. She sounded like her father and accused her of not paying for it. Reiko asked, "You are buying it for your wife, not for my mother."
It was obvious that she was in a family that was on par with Fan Shengmei's. Not only did she not have the strength to provide shelter and support, but she also demanded and exploited her, and was unable to give much care and warmth.
This is the epitome of millions of daughters at that time - eating grass and getting milk. The love energy they accumulated in childhood is not enough to withstand the wind, frost, snow and rain in the future, so even when they reach middle age, they can't help but compensate for themselves and prove that they are worthy of love through humble or destructive means.
In fact, isn’t the attention you want from your lover the value that your parents have never given you?
But facing a mere mortal body, it is always impossible to afford it. Just like Po, he will eventually turn around and leave because he disdains the entanglement. Reiko, who has no stairs, cannot stay where she is. She will feel: "Everyone is... If you don’t feel like you owe me anything, what else can I ask for?”
The story about the ups and downs of love is beautiful, but love always has to be passed, and it’s better to do it sooner. disenchants love, but it also disenchants men. I wish I could take hold of the steering wheel of life earlier and set sail.
is like Xuezhi, who left her hometown in her early twenties and went to Hong Kong alone to pursue a dream of wealth. All she brought with her was herself and her dream, refreshing and neat.
is not discouraged even if he fails, and does not regret even if he is defeated. Even if his ex-boyfriend finds out that he has been away for many years, the hotel waiter is only embarrassed for a moment, and then quickly adjusts his mood and calmly talks about old times with him, his morale is not diminished in his words. On the other hand, Abao, who was still nostalgic for the past, felt a little embarrassed.
said "I have someone", as if he was trying to win back a victory on the battlefield outside his career, and it also seemed to be persuading Abao to give up completely, so that his path to advancement would be smoother.
Look, when you don’t have so many unrealistic expectations for him, whether you meet him or say goodbye, you can be very relaxed.
The direction of the ribs is different, but they are still different after all.
If you rush into love alone, you will most likely be disappointed, because two different life trajectories cannot be bound by wishful thinking, just like what A Bao said to Miss Wang: "Why should I sell tea eggs with you?"
But once It’s not easy to chase your ideal, because your ideal is at least your own, and it’s easier to reach it if you don’t force others to accompany you on the journey. Just like Gong Er, it would be a lie to say that he has no regrets, but in the end, he still seeks kindness and is patient.
As for love, it comes as it comes and goes as it goes. Framing beautiful pictures in your memory can serve as a barrier to resist loneliness.
recommends everyone to watch the 146th episode of "Flowers". The young love between Po and Xuezhi was captured so beautifully by Wong Kar-Wai: sitting around a large hot pot round table, the rising water vapor filled the eyes and outlined the hazy image. The vague ambiguity; the crowding and looking at each other when the bus shuttles through the city, the crowds and the companionship and chatting during off-peak hours are the small and long romance in ordinary life.
"When Xuezhi was selling tickets at the front door, because it was close to the driver, it was inconvenient to talk, so we could only look at each other occasionally.
In the middle of the night, we were selling tickets at the back door. The two of us could talk all the way.
I didn't count how many we passed. At the head of the site,
I also forgot how many changes in scenery there were outside,
but I remembered the stamps I hadn’t seen together, every word she wrote, the wintersweet she liked, and the smell of her hair."
is worthy of it. You are the king of sunglasses, you really don’t want to be too delicate! Even though he is older, he still has the ability to photograph boys and girls, and he is able to bring out the simple tenderness and unobtrusive sweetness from the rough time.
These fleeting tenderness and sweetness must be the reason why many people are willing to sink and swim in the "Sea of Love", and also the reason why many people come ashore in a hurry and only fixate their memories on the most beautiful moments.
Which one do you belong to?
