"It's not great, it's just desperate." - " Rouge Buckle "
Once again, to watch Li Bihua 's movie, you must watch it in conjunction with the original book, and the same is true for "Rouge Buckle".
The overall style of this movie is strange:
Hua Deng is not seen at the beginning, and there are lonely souls in the dark depths.
No matter in the novel or the original book, "flower" is a symbol of love, but such a symbol is not lovable, at least it is quite scary for men and women in the new era -
If you love it, you will love it, if you don't love it, you will love it. If you don't love it anymore, if you like it, stay together. If you don't stay together, you will separate. Why do you want to die?
In fact, this is Li Bihua-style female story :
One day, I really met "that person", is Can live and die.
This is why I am obsessed with Li Bihua. Her words are very strange, but they are in line with common sense. It's like a human being, but these are not surprising, because what she has created is human nature, a living human nature, just put on a layer of strange power and chaos.
"Rouge Buckle" is also this form of expression.
In those days, Leslie Cheung and the self-pity Anita Mui met each other. In the video, the two looked at each other affectionately. When I thought that this was the story of Li Bihua, and it happened to be directed by Guan Jinpeng, I knew from my heart:
good.
saw it later, sure enough.

The hidden contradiction
Yuan Yongding ( Wan Ziliang ) of the newspaper office received a glamorous woman one night, the woman said that she wanted to find a man named "Twelve Young Master". After negotiating the price, the woman said she was a ghost in the chat, Yuan Yongding didn't believe it, the woman said it again, Yuan Yongding believed it, and was afraid, through the camera I felt that he was peeing. But the woman was still mourning and just begged him for help. After Yuan Yongding was emotionally stable, the woman revealed her life experience:
Ruhua was originally a miserable girl, and she was mistaken for life when she saw Hua Shao.
The movie constantly switches between two time and space, one is Hong Kong in the late 1980s, and the other is Hong Kong in the 1930s. After nearly half a century, as the top brand of brothels, such as flowers (played by Anita Mui), the beauty of the wind and the moon can always attract wild bees and butterflies. Among these well-known and unknown insects, there is a person called "Twelve Young Masters" (played by Leslie Cheung). ) is courteous to her, and this kind of benefactor is more like flowers. The dialogue between the two at the beginning is also very "in line with the flow":
flirting and flirting are indispensable, one deal, one chasing.
But women take it for real, and men...seem to look real too. Otherwise, it won't take much effort to engage in a big scene. So Ruhua fell, and even had the idea of "going ashore", the man also took her home to meet her parents. The old lady ( Tan Qianhong, ) was naturally not given for nothing. At first sight, she knew that Fengchen Girl was not a child of a good family. like flowersHe is a knowledgeable person. With a glance, he can understand the rules and taboos of the children of the aristocratic family.
因此两个人的爱情成了两种观念的博弈——
一个说“我要自由”，一个说“你也配？”

无奈的选择
饰演如花的梅艳芳在本片中演得极Well, she showed very delicately the means of a dusty woman when she didn't see love and her helplessness after she met love:
Why do you frown when you don't see a beautiful woman? Just because the lover never sent Acacia.
She has an obsession. This obsession boils down to:
Do you love me or not?
How long have you been in love?
可表面上，两个人一问一答又显得很漫不经心：
“你会为了我死吗？”
“不会，你呢？”
“我也不会。”
张国荣在这部电影里I don't like the character design very much, but it is in line with the original. He is a playboy, a wealthy family from a wealthy business, and he likes actors' operas when he is not doing his job. He is a "fancier" in terms of today's words, but he seems to take opera very seriously, and he seems to take love very seriously. So when he left the family and went to sing for a living because of his parents' objection, I always felt that he didn't do it for Ruhua, but because his parents didn't fulfill his wish.
Therefore, as the film progresses and the suspense is unraveled, the audience can see a scene at a glance -
After half a century, a woman stays in the world, waiting and asking:
"Twelve Where have we gone? Didn't we make an appointment to go together?"
In 1988, Leslie Cheung was so tender and smooth, that year he also acted in " A Chinese Ghost Story ", changing from an infatuated scholar to cynical The rich and young, the two characters look quite cowardly, but the former is soft on the outside and firm on the inside, and the latter has an empty air. He played the Twelve Young Masters very well, and he always had a bit of hesitation in his eyes, like a child who was desperate for a toy. After getting it, he was still 70 percent happy and 3 percent satisfied, but he was bitter as a woman who believed it to be the truth.

looked at each other silently
The ghostly flower in the movie kept asking "Where are the Twelve Young Masters?" This made Yuan Yongding helpless, and incidentally made his ambiguous girlfriend Chu Juan ( Zhu Baoyi ) dubious:
Is this a ghost? Or female "slave"?
When they found out that the Twelve Young Masters who had committed suicide by swallowing opium together in that year did not die, except for Ruhua, everyone was asking a question:
Since the man is not dead, where has he been all these years?
followed the trail, everyone came to a filming set, and asked people for news everywhere, but all they got was disdain:
"That old thing? There, all day long thinking of yourself as a famous character, youLet's go find him. "
As a result, when Ruhua looked at the sloppy and sloppy old man in front of her, she didn't say a word, just looked at him, then turned and left. All that was left was the "Twelve Young Master" who cried bitterly and annoyed.
The three words "not worth it" can be seen through the screen, and the audience can also find the relief spanning more than 50 years from the flower-like gaze:
In fact, "she" has the answer in her heart, she just needs to make a face-to-face conclusion and give it to herself A reason for reincarnation.
Speaking of this, everyone remembers that when I said "Green Snake" and "Farewell My Concubine" before, I once said that the characters in Li Bihua's writings always have some "grievances", such as Bai Suzhen against Xu Xian , such as Ju Xian and Duan Xiaolou , are all people who think they can be trusted, but they run away when something happens. The Twelve Young Master is already considered "not bad", at least he really swallowed it with Ruhua. Opium, just after being rescued, he was afraid, or he wanted to understand:
is alive, how good.
just lived in the world with a doomed cowardly and self-talking temperament, and was despised by his family and outsiders in his later years. , Living like this is also Li Bihua's inner expectation, right?
is that flowery? Why does she insist on seeking death? ”

The necessity of letting go When the beautiful woman returns with less hugs, her flowery eyes and behavior seem to be asking a question that also follows the movie:
How long will your love for me last?
The answer is obvious, not only hidden in Li Bihua's words, but also hidden in Guan Jinpeng
is the most direct interpretation of today's people, when getting the answer, he can only shout with flowery speechlessness:
"It's not reliable! "
This movie is of course not Anita Mui's best work, nor Leslie Cheung's best work, but it fits the state of their serious acting, such as how to interpret the love and hatred of an obsessive man and a woman, and when facing reality, the two people are different. Reaction and action. Now it can be regarded as a work of two peerless characters worth mentioning.
In addition, Li Bihua reluctantly explained something that he had to admit in words:
"Man always encounters many things in his life. A woman who wants him to be obedient, a little obedient, makes a man more masculine. In a woman's life, she always hopes that men will listen to her. "
, so "Rouge Button" is not like Li Bihua's other shocking stories, which is impressive. It is to follow the clues of "searching people" while recalling and searching. When the truth is found, everyone understands that the so-called "seeking and not getting" is for men It's not so much a kind of "bitter", it's better to say "what you can't get is the best."
after you can get it?
Hesitation is the norm, the result is inevitable.
