In " Blossoms ", how much does Wong Kar-wai prefer the female characters in his drama? The director has been very careful in shaping these female characters, which is not only reflected in how beautiful these women are under the camera, but also in that he has outlined beautiful growth lines for these female characters. They have become more mature after experiencing love disasters. through.
Let’s talk about Reiko first. She helped Mr. Bao once in a foreign country. After Mr. Bao got rich, he generously gave her a plane ticket and a seat as the proprietress of Night Tokyo. Reiko fell in love with Mr. Bao and has been charming since then. She became the proprietress of Night Tokyo and Mr. Bao's confidante. Every time she held a shareholders' meeting, she and Mr. Bao lived in a two-person world. Every time, she came up with all kinds of trivial excuses to get money from Mr. Bao.
Uncle looked down upon Reiko very much and called her a debt collector. Of course Reiko loves money, but she is keen on getting money from Mr. Bao. The more important reason is that she has Mr. Bao in her heart, and Mr. Bao has no commitment to her, and there are all kinds of people around her. Yes, Reiko picking up Mr. Bao's wool is a way for her to act coquettishly towards Mr. Bao, and it is also a proof that she wants to confirm the affection between Mr. Bao and her.
Later, when the pearl earring incident happened, Reiko saw clearly her position in Mr. Bao's heart, and she completely woke up. After disappearing for a while, she came back and made a clean cut with Mr. Bao. She wanted to be her in Tokyo. Alone. If in the past, Night Tokyo was a fallback or insurance she guarded for Mr. Bao, then now, she would really start to run her own Night Tokyo.
Reiko smashed the original sign of Night Tokyo, renovated it, repositioned it, developed new recipes, and then went all out to run Night Tokyo as a business. Reiko was born to be a boss lady, and she managed Night Tokyo in a prosperous manner, and later opened a branch in Hong Kong.
Since she stopped thinking about Mr. Bao and no longer thought about relying on men, but only relying on herself, Reiko regained her own destiny, used her own wisdom, and her career has been prosperous since then.
Let’s talk about Miss Wang. She goes through a similar transformation as Reiko. It turns out that Ms. Wang on the 27th is very prosperous, her business is outstanding, and she will be promoted to section chief soon. This is largely due to Mr. Bao's promotion. But Ms. Wang didn't know it at that time.
Ms. Wang is arrogant and straightforward. She wants a clear answer from Mr. Bao, but Mr. Bao avoids it. In the adult world, avoidance is rejection. Miss Wang encountered the double Waterloo of love and career. From the Miss Wang who was sought after by everyone, she became the disgraced Hongkou Xiao Wang.
However, Hongkou Xiaowang is stubborn and ambitious. Even if she is sent to a factory to work as a coolie, she can still complete the work beautifully with pride.
After living on Huanghe Road for so many years, Ms. Wang thought that she was somewhat thin-faced, but when she left No. 27, Jin Meilin didn't even give her the honor of booking a private room. Miss Wang was awakened by the cold reality. It turned out that after leaving No. 27, without Mr. Bao's support, she was nothing in the eyes of the snobbish people on Huanghe Road.
Miss Wang gave up the opportunity to return to No. 27 and resigned, saying "I am my own dock!" This became Miss Wang's highlight moment. Ms. Wang was still prosperous and started her own business. After suffering all the hardships, she won the first foreign trade order in her life. She also made a wonderful turnaround due to the exchange rate difference and became a legend in the industry.
When Ms. Wang no longer relied on Mr. Bao’s support and relied on her own abilities and wisdom to work hard, she also gained a broader future.
There is another important female character in the play, and that is Li Li. When Li Li appeared on the stage, she was a shrewd and capable strong woman. She came to Huanghe Road alone, took possession of Zhizhenyuan, and single-handedly turned Zhizhenyuan into the most dazzling hotel on Huanghe Road.
At this time, Li Li was already a woman who had experienced disasters. She had been helped and protected by Mr. A in the past, but when Mr. A suffered a tragic failure in the stock market and passed away, Li Li could only rely on herself to make noise on the surface. In fact, he lives alone in this cold world. Li Li took the initiative to choose a difficult path. She took the Zhizhen Garden with the money left by Mr. A. She earned enough funds here to pay off Mr. A's debt.
Compared to Mr. A who apologized with death, wasn't Li Li's approach more responsible and loyal? From another perspective, Mr. A failed miserably, and Li Li witnessed his mentor and lover committing suicide. Such a tragic experience actually contributed to the biggest growth and transformation of Li Li's character.
She did not live on the money left to her by Mr. A. Using the money to change her name and live comfortably in another place was probably a very tempting choice for many people, but Li Li did not Instead of doing so, she took the money and used the methods and wisdom that Mr. A taught her. Money begets money, and she earned enough money to repay the debt owed by Mr. A. Mr. A gave it to her and she eventually paid it back.
So, Li Li has been the most refreshing, chivalrous, wise and responsible person in his life. I have paid it off, opened my eyes to it, and understood it. Finally, he gave up the mortal world and converted to Buddhism.
The female characters in "Flowers", once they get rid of their dependence on men, all of them are strong and capable women. A good daughter should aspire to be everywhere! The three main female characters in
basically adopt the same model, that is - when they experienced love disasters, woke up from the fog of love, and began to rely on themselves independently, they discovered their greatest strength. Wisdom is used exclusively in career or making money, and women live a glorious life in their own way.
