Some Hong Kong films that you can't miss.
If there is love in heaven,
I've been making movies for many years. Strangely, classic movies will not become boring with the passage of time, but will last forever. This is definitely the most tragic and romantic gangster movie. When Vantage rode a motorcycle with a bloody nose for revenge, JOJO () ran barefoot on the highway in a wedding dress, and the dream catcher rang, I seemed to feel Wu's huskiness, despair, helplessness, romance and beauty, so that I never saw it in Hong Kong films later. Much like the feeling of first love, maybe you will have a warmer and happier love in the future, but nothing is simpler and more memorable than first love, just because there is no love with any distractions! I will never forget it! Since then, the love of gangster theme has been brought to the extreme here! Andy Lau and Jacklyn Wu have also become the best screen lovers in the eyes of many fans. It is worth mentioning that the director of this film is Chen Musheng, one of the main directors in Mesozoic Hong Kong. Of course, the biggest reason why this film can become a classic should be attributed to the producer Du Qifeng.
The longest night
Or Du Qifeng, since John Woo went to Hollywood, Tsui Hark and Jiang Lang were exhausted, Jing Wong was vulgar, and Wong Kar-wai pretended to be profound. My favorite Hong Kong director, known as the mainstay of the Hong Kong film industry, is the anchor. This film can be regarded as a master of the works of Impression of the Galaxy. Starring Liu Qingyun and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, it is the most undisputed among the Hong Kong acting schools, and I especially appreciate Liu Qingyun. There are no good guys and bad guys in this movie, and there is no contest between good and evil. The director mainly tells the audience such a story, which is slow and cruel, and people's inner struggle and panic in various environments. The image of the Milky Way has always been cold, dark and vague, and the world is vast. Only the greatest fate has been brought to the extreme, and everyone is trying to escape from the grasp of fate. However, the final result is often that fate tore the protagonist to pieces. Liu Qingyun is almost an imperial hero of Du Qifeng. No matter how good the acting is, Tony Leung Chiu Wai only appeared in this film. In fact, in this movie, two acting superstars both showed their superhuman acting skills. Liu Qingyun's cool bald head has a dragon tattooed on it, and his indifferent eyes and gestures are full of acting charm. However, personally, I think the role played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai in this movie is the best, with a cold face and no tone.
This is the flower of darkness, a dark movie.
From East to West
Hong Kong's nonsense movies are the pinnacle. Perhaps many people will say that this film has no thoughts and depth, but what many fans don't know is that it is much more difficult to make a comedy film than a tragedy film, and it requires a wild imagination. Speaking of director Liu Zhenwei, I don't know how many people know that Zhou Xingxing's classic A Chinese Odyssey is his work, so I won't say much for the time being. Let's talk about it later. Speaking of "92 92 Legend Black Rose", few people know that it is also a sensational masterpiece. This film successfully explored Tony Leung Ka Fai's cold-faced comedian style, and won the best actor award for the second time with this film, but it was far from the point. Let's go back to "East in and West out". This film was shot on 1994. At that time, Wong Kar-wai wasted a lot of money and gathered a large number of superstars to shoot "Ashes of Time", but the shutdown was far away. Liu Zhenwei, a good friend of Wong Kar-wai, also made this film with these superstars, and made jokes everywhere. Tony Leung Ka Fai's cross-dressing to seduce Leslie Cheung in the play can definitely make people laugh. This movie has been watched countless times by a large number of fans. I think Jacky Cheung's title song Who's the Great Hero is also great. It was written by James J.S.Wong, the godfather of Hong Kong music, but it's a pity that Sri Lanka has left!
Never lose.
Actually, this is going to be discussed in series. Jackie Chan, as one of the representative figures of Hong Kong films, has definitely contributed to the promotion of Hong Kong Kung Fu films to the world film industry, although there was Bruce Lee before. Chen Jiaju's police image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, strong, fair and humorous, but it also has many shortcomings of ordinary people. The police are no longer heroes without tears, but also have the feeling and confusion of life. Jackie Chan also won the best film award that year because the film changed from a comedy star like Drunken Boxing to a symbol of modern heroes. As far as artistic achievements are concerned, the first episode of this series of films is higher. As far as the appreciation of ordinary fans is concerned, it seems that the last few films are more interesting, such as Super Police and Simple Mission. The last two films were directed by Tang Jili, and it was his tailor-made "Pink Zone" that made Jackie Chan successfully enter Hollywood.
Huang Feihong series
Tsui Hark can always put new wine in old bottles, but he can always pretend to be new. I have to admire him. The image that has been put on the screen the most in the history of Hong Kong was put on the screen again by him, and he succeeded. Always sharp editing pictures and magnificent music (I want to praise James J.S.Wong once again, and "Men Be Self-reliant" is adapted by James J.S.Wong from the ancient song "Your Legend", which is really wonderful). Tsui Hark told us about the incompetence of the late Qing Dynasty. The people of China were ashamed of the national disaster, resisted powerful foreign enemies and refused internal riots, which shaped the greatness of Huang Feihong as a country for the people. The martial arts of Huang Feihong and Yan Zhendong in the first episode and Huang Feihong and Nalan Yuanshu in the second episode are all classics in action scenes. Of course, this is Yuan Heping's credit. But a classic movie is always organized by many wonderful details. A movie with only action but no plot is undoubtedly pale and can't stand the test of time. Huang Feihong did it! It's just that Huang Feihong was shot late, and the Hong Kong film environment at that time, many films followed suit and were shoddy. By the time the last film "The Lion of the Western Regions" was filmed, it was already sunset. Alas!
Later, Tsui Hark used Huang Feihong, which was almost a TV series made by the original crew, but the biggest regret was that the 13th Aunt was played by Shao Meiqi. When I look at it, I always compare her with Rosamund Kwan. What a tragic word this is. Interested friends may wish to have a look, which can be divided into Headless General, Eight Heavenly Kings and Ideal Times. The level is still much better than those TV dramas now.
all about ah long
Du Qifeng is always good at movies with various themes, such as action movies, comedies, gangster movies, gangster movies, romantic movies and so on. I don't know how many fans who really watched this movie with their heart shed tears. When A Lang crossed the finish line on his motorcycle and stumbled down, his face was covered with blood, and Tayu Lo's hoarse and hoarse "You Appeared" sounded, and I burst into tears. At that moment, almost all the fans were praying that this was not true, just a joke played by Du Qifeng. Unfortunately, the joke is too big. A Lang created by Fage is definitely one of the most classic figures in the 1990s. He kept the memory of a father's love for his son and his lost love in the past so naturally, without trace, and deeply hidden in his heart. Brother Fage was no longer handsome, but he laughed miserably. Time flies!
God of Gamblers
I can't help it Brother Fage is NB. No one can stop the charm, there is still behind, hehe! I think many friends have questions about putting this film here. Please finish reading it. This film was produced at the peak of Wang Pangzi, which created an important genre of Hong Kong films-gambling films. Later films about gambling movies, such as Gambling Saint and Gambling Man, followed suit one after another, and none of them could surpass this film. The gambling god AG played by Brother Fa is graceful and luxurious, and the king is domineering in laughter. It can be said that there is no other actor in Hong Kong who is more suitable to play AG. Today's Wang Pangzi has been exhausted by Jiang Lang, but it has achieved nothing. But we should not deny his great commercial contribution to Hong Kong films in the 1990s! In the film, Andy Lau and Fage's acting skills are super vases. Of course, I must forgive him. He is still young. It is worth mentioning that dragon five is played by Xiang Huaqiang, the boss of China Star Film Company, the boss of Hong Kong underworld force Xinyi 'an, and his father, Major General of the Kuomintang army.
Forty women.
I'm glad that I accidentally read on the Internet yesterday that Xiao Fangfang will win the lifetime achievement award of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. I think she deserves it. Now because she is deaf, I concentrate on charity and bless her. Perhaps for many fans, Xiao Fangfang may be more familiar with her role as Miao Cuihua in Fang Shiyu in Jet Li. The image of a free and easy, kind, cheerful and slightly neurotic mother is really classic, which is the charm of acting. 1996, released by Xu Anhua, director of Hong Kong New Wave, received rave reviews and won numerous awards. Xiao Fangfang showed the image of a middle-aged woman. She was in crisis in her family and career, but she never stopped trying to improve herself. In the film, she takes care of people around her, coping with various crises, and gradually understands the meaning of life. Similarly, after watching this movie, we will be moved and inspired by it! By the way, Xu Anhua directed Rhapsody in July in 2002, starring Jacky Cheung and Lin Jiaxin. It's a pity that my idol schoolmate didn't win the best actor, and his performance in the film was remarkable, restrained and unobtrusive.
The rage of imperial stormtroopers in the street.
Chen Musheng's iconic works, the whole film in one go, absolutely no ice. Chen Musheng, as one of the main directors of the new generation in Hong Kong, has always been good at shooting action gun battles, such as Two Heroes, True Men, Who am I, gen-x cops and so on, but when it comes to character performance, plot mastery and plot tension, I think this one is the best. Although many years have passed, it is still an excellent standard, not worse than similar Hong Kong films now. Much to the admiration of many movie fans, this film brings together Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun and Huang Qiusheng for the first time, which is really full of sparks. Although it appeared in Jing Wong's Black and White Forest, it was much worse. It's a little ineffective In the film, Liu Qingyun plays the stormtrooper. Unfortunately, the nominated cinematographer narrowly beat three injured policemen in Zheng Zeshi, making him the uncrowned king again. Although Liu Qingyun got the best actor in the later "I Want to Be Famous", his level is still far behind.
A Chinese Odyssey
Finally, speaking of this, 1995' s big talk to the west has come to nothing. Unfortunately, the market reaction of this film, which cost Liu Zhenwei a lot of effort, was not satisfactory. At that time, it was even criticized as vulgar nonsense, and the box office was even destroyed. The investment is 6000W, but the box office is only 4500 W. Fortunately, gold always shines and time is limited. Liu Zhenwei is always good at adding thoughts about human nature, feelings and society to ridiculous dialogues, so that you can chew slowly and cry slowly after laughing. As Liu Zhenwei himself said: When he made this film, he never thought of making it a classic, but he just wanted to deconstruct a story that everyone was familiar with in a different way. It can be said that the article is naturally wonderful! No one has anything to regret in his life, and no one wants to go back to the past to save the people and things that once made him regret.
There was once true love. ......
Dong Fangbubai.
When it comes to Hong Kong movies, how can we not talk about martial arts movies? Speaking of martial arts movies, how can we not mention Dong Fangbubai? This film was born in the prime time of Hong Kong films, which opened the curtain of the new martial arts film. Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong, the best creative partners, have completely deviated from Jin Yong's novels, but their understanding of Jianghu coincides with mine. They shed their blood, walk the line, the legendary swordsman, there are joys and sorrows, some people have grievances, and there are rivers and lakes. Tsui Hark's unconstrained style and Cheng Xiaodong's aestheticism and romance finally left a deep impression in the history of Hong Kong movies. The theme song "Laughter from the Sea" is unprecedented. It is said that it took David Henry Hwang a week to finish it, and it took six and a half days. Tsui Hark was not satisfied with this, forcing James ·J·s· Wang to worry. He thought it would be fun. He directly used the emblem and feathers of the simplest court merchant in China, and finally made this movie music in one go. Later, there were countless movies and TV series about the legendary swordsman, but when it comes to the theme song, it is second to none. This song is generous and heroic, with far-reaching artistic conception and the legacy of Su Shi's Song Ci.
For reference, I personally think that Dong Fangbubai and Xinlongmen Inn are the most popular new martial arts movies!
Ghost story
How can a Hong Kong film be without Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong? The film was a hit at that time. The storyline, photography, music and character modeling are all brand-new and eye-catching, creating a high-tech special effects ghost film, which has a far-reaching impact on the special effects production of later martial arts films and ghost films. Leslie Cheung's performance in this film is also perfect. There is a touching love tragedy with Nie, and the tragedy is often the most touching and easy to remember. Unfortunately, Leslie Cheung has already left, so I can't help sighing! "Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, and inch by inch moss worries about the New Year. I send a single picture of the moon, only jealous of the mandarin duck and not the fairy! " Xu Laoguai is in decline now, and he is no longer handsome. However, after Ghost Story, another film Infernal Affairs and Knife and Knife Road was made, which went further in terms of special effects, but the storyline was far from so fascinating and amazing!
gunfire
I have always stubbornly believed that this is the best gangster film after The True Color of Heroes, and of course, personally, it is also the pinnacle of Du Qifeng's works. Gunfire is the masterpiece of Du Qifeng's complete self-style, which interprets the friendship between men from a unique perspective. This movie lets us see a gun battle movie that is completely different from the previous type, which makes people shine, and five different men get together for a purpose. The whole movie didn't use a shot to express the lofty sentiments of hot-blooded men, and there was no thrilling bullets. Du Qifeng relies on the rapid change of the lens to deal with the static picture, and uses the atmosphere to set off the story, so that the audience can fully feel the inner tension of the characters, and the five protagonists are intimate. In the end, this movie won Wu Zhenyu the title of Golden Horse Award winner and became the biggest dark horse this year. Du Qifeng has made great contributions, and is an absolute master work, which shows his profound directing skills.
Blood in the street
This may be John Woo's most easily overlooked work, and it may also be the most underestimated one. After the great success of "The True Color of Heroes", John Woo was in full swing, his ambition expanded, and he played the role of a nobody in the great era. The background is Vietnam during the war, starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Jacky Cheung, Yam Tat-wah and Li Zixiong, who were not very popular at that time. However, Tony Leung Chiu Wai's performance skills at that time can already be found, but what impressed me most. Hui, played by Jacky Cheung, suffered from amnesia and eventually died under the gun of his good brother A B (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), which brought great shock to all the moviegoers. John Woo himself has said many times that his most satisfying work is Bleeding in the Street, not Hero. Unfortunately, this ambitious work was launched at that time, and the response was dull, which naturally disappointed Wu Avenue. I have to admire John Woo's ability to master this story. He is full of tension and can't stop. His brotherhood is vividly portrayed!
The ashes of time.
I can't understand most of Wong Kar-wai's films, but this is an exception. It's really touching. /kloc-I almost fell asleep when I watched this movie in the cinema 0/4 years ago because I couldn't understand it. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand the love-hate entanglements expressed in movies. 14 years later, I watched this movie again after vicissitudes. For an instant, I was expressionless, and a person said to himself, "I always thought I won." I didn't know I lost until I looked in the mirror one day. At my best, the person I love most is not with me. If only I could start over. " Endless loneliness and endless sadness, at that moment, I burst into tears! Yes, I am weak. I don't want to comment on the acting skills of big stars here, but I have to say that Maggie Cheung's performance is first-class. Now the final version is released again, but I stubbornly don't watch it. Maybe I think it is the best I have ever seen!
Someone once said that when you can no longer have what you have, the only thing you can do is not to forget yourself.
Infernal Affairs
Presumably, most fans are familiar with this film. The story of undercover and anti-undercover between police and bandits, at this time, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Andy Lau are fully mature, and their acting skills have been vividly displayed. Play two twisted souls who yearn for a normal life but live in extremely suspicious environments. At this time, Hong Kong films no longer rely on action and eroticism to attract audiences, but really rely on plot and acting to enrich the films. I have no intention to comment on which is better, Liang or Liu. As far as the film itself is concerned, it is really a masterpiece. Don't miss it!
Sweet honey
As a classic film of Hong Kong love, it is absolutely necessary to mention that this film directed by Chen Kexin still holds the record of winning the most Golden Awards. It is hard to imagine that in Hong Kong, a society with such a rich material and such a busy pace, such a meaningful love movie was made, so real and touching, but love was deconstructed so clearly with a very simple love story. After watching this movie, you will believe that love really depends on fate. It may happen to everyone around you, or it may happen to yourself! When the hero is carrying the heroine on the back seat of a bicycle, humming honey and shaking his feet, love is as simple as that ~!
true colour of a hero
Don't tell me that you haven't seen the film, let alone that you haven't heard of it. I don't think I need to comment too much on this film.
. No matter what you say about Hong Kong movies, you can't avoid this one. 1987, John Woo and Chow Yun Fat's masterpiece The True Color of Heroes was born, which shook Xiangjiang. For a time, Mark was popular in Southeast Asia, and John Woo finally held his head high with this film, which created the later violent aesthetics.
Three years, I waited for three years. I don't want to prove how great I am. I want people to know that I must find what I lost! '
I swear I won't let anyone put a gun to my head again! '
God is the one who can control his own destiny, and I am God! '
Don't call me Jay, call me officer! Officer, I've been a big brother for a long time!
"Pony, you didn't say in your letter ..."
Look, this is your own brother. Even if he made any mistakes, he has returned them to you now. '
"Brothers ..." A gunshot, blood spattered Ajie's face.
