Love in the City
I have always considered myself to have good taste. Before watching a movie, I will pay attention to the movie's promotion and reputation, and rarely watch those Hong Kong commercial movies that I have the impression of being vulgar and shoddy. . I saw this movie by chance. A big cinema in my city opened, and my father’s workplace was given a lot of VIP tickets. I went with the mentality of being a freeloader. When I walked to the door of the cinema and saw the poster, my heart dropped. Dawn Wu Qianlian , I don’t like any of them, especially Lai Ming, who rarely has facial expressions in his acting. Isn’t it painful to watch him act in a romantic movie? Ng Mang-tat plays Lai Ming's father. I am used to seeing his genius comedy performances in Zhou Xingxing's films. This is the first time I saw him play a serious role. His interpretation of the cowardly but kind-hearted father was so good that I couldn't believe it. The rebellious Xiao Wu could almost be said to have grown up in a juvenile detention center. He always had a bloody head every time he came home. He never talked much with his father. The weak and incompetent father loved his son deeply but didn't understand him. On the one hand, he hated Tie. Bu Chenggang suspected his son of molesting his stepmother's daughter and fought with fists and kicks. On the one hand, he silently cared about his son and endured his son's contempt for him. Xiao Wu fell in love with Jojo, who was already someone else's girlfriend, but he was suspected of being a murderer because he showed up at the murder scene, and the police wanted him everywhere. Xiaowu regards jail as a common occurrence, but this time in order to abide by the agreement with Jojo, he escaped from the prison car and has been on the run ever since. He sent a page to jojo, but jojo misunderstood and did not reply. Until the part where all the paging ladies at the Hutchison paging station were moved, my eyes were filled with tears. Xiao Wu waited for a long time at the dock for jojo to come, but he didn’t know that jojo’s boyfriend secretly called the police. A large group of policemen came with wolf dogs to arrest him, and used electric batons to hit his hand that had been holding the pole, forcing him to let go. Xiaowu vowed not to let go, and finally the police ruthlessly deceived him that it was Jojo who betrayed him, Xiaowu Lai The source of strength that had supported him for a long time finally disappeared, and he allowed the police to take him away without any struggle. The expression on his face gradually changed from disbelief to despair to numbness, which touched the softest place in my heart and made me shed tears. Finally, the final ending is beautiful, and I, who have always loved tragedy, am extremely grateful to the screenwriter. This movie completely overturned my view of a person, allowing me to see clearly Lai Ming's potential skills and the aristocratic aura that cannot be concealed even if he plays a depraved hooligan. This movie also made me remember a person's name, Liu Zhenwei. From now on, I will continue to watch every one of his films.
I am by no means a fan of Lai Lai, but I want to say that I really love this work of his. I think it is the love movie that touches me the most so far. Although the later "Sweet Honey" is beautiful to watch, it can no longer touch my deepest feelings. If I were asked to comment on the top ten classics of Hong Kong movies, I would put them in the top three. Different people have different opinions. What do you think? Can you chat with friends who have seen it?
My girlfriend at the time cried after watching it. I also feel quite touched
