Language, as a carrier of human communication, essentially knows no boundaries. Good lines, even if translated into other languages, can still impress the audience. A line spoken by the male protagonist in the Korean movie "My Sassy Girl" is the best example of this. In the film, Cha Tae-hyun plays the male protagonist Dog Friend, who watches his sweetheart Jun Ji-hyun go on a blind date. As he walks away, he says something to Jun Ji-hyun's new boyfriend that will move audiences wherever they hear it.
"First, don't try to make her gentler;
Second, don't give her more than three drinks, she will hit someone;
Second Third, be sure to drink coffee in a cafe and never order coke, juice or the like;
Fourth, if she hits you, be sure to pretend it hurts; if it really hurts , you have to pretend that it doesn’t hurt at all;
Fifth, on the 100-day anniversary of knowing each other, be sure to go to her class and give her a rose, she will like it very much;
< p>Sixth, you must learn to fencing and play squash;Seventh, you must be mentally prepared to go to jail;
Eighth, if she says she will kill you, Don't take it seriously, it will make you feel better;
Ninth, if her shoes are uncomfortable, you should change shoes with her;
Tenth, she likes writing, so Encourage her."
What is touching about this dialogue is that it embodies the highest state of love - selfless devotion. The male protagonist in the film, knowing that there is nothing he can do to restore their relationship, still firmly accompanies his beloved on a blind date. Even when he finally walked away, he did not forget to give some advice to Jun Ji-hyun's new boyfriend based on his understanding, and do his best to ensure the happiness of the person he loved. From beginning to end, the dog friend did not consider his own interests, but tried every means to ensure the happiness of his beloved girl. The audience will be deeply moved by this kind of dedication to love, no matter where they come from. After the film was released, this line was also extremely popular in mainland China, which also proved the charm of a good line across borders.
After the success of My Sassy Girl, savagery became the norm on screen. The following year, the Hong Kong version of the Sassy Girl movie "The Roar of the East" hit the screen. Compared with "My Sassy Girl", "Hedong Lion's Roar", which is set in ancient China, is more in line with the appetite of domestic audiences. In the film, Liu Yuehong's line stating her request to her husband must also be fresh in the audience's memory.
"From now on: you can only be nice to me; you must pamper me and not lie to me; you must do everything you promise me; you must do everything you say to me. It must be sincere. Don't lie to me or scold me, but care about me; when others bully me, you must come out to help me as soon as possible; when I am happy, you must accompany me to be happy; when I am unhappy, you must make me happy. ; You must always think that I am the most beautiful; you must also see me in your dreams; there is only me in your heart..."
Compared to the true feelings of the male protagonist in my "My Sassy Girl" Note, this line from Cecilia Cheung in "The Roar of the East" is more about her rules for her husband's emotional life. This line can almost be regarded as the standard for evaluating model husbands. It almost coincides with the mentality of women in real life when facing their partners. Naturally, it is favored by female audiences. It is logical that this line has become an indispensable part of the screen. A young girl’s sexual requirements for her husband. The scene between Cecilia Cheung and Louis Koo in the film must have happened to many couples in the real world.
In movies, long passages of classic dialogue are certainly wonderful, but there are also many lines in movies. Although they are not long, sometimes just one or two sentences can have the finishing touch. The video is even more exciting. These short and precise lines can naturally be ranked among the classic lines on the screen. Just like what Tony Leung Chiu Wai said to Maggie Cheung at the end of the movie "In the Mood for Love".
"If I had one more ferry ticket, would you come with me?"
When Tony Leung asked this question, his eyes were full of love and expectation. Let the audience also worry about it. This unanswered question brings the film to a sad ending. When a person faces happiness that is within reach, he really gives up because of various plots that are difficult to let go. This feeling must be experienced by many viewers. When people in reality face their true love, how many of them can really ask this question? When everyone regards the regretful mistakes in life as their own secrets and buries them deeply in a corner of their minds, Tony Leung Chiu-wai said these words with his sincerity and expectation in the film. And the feeling it brings to the audience is just like the title of the movie "In the Mood for Love", which reveals a long-lasting memory in each audience's mind. Tony Leung's line, like many missed emotions, is engraved in the hearts of the audience.
In this issue of Light and Film Vision, we introduce you to many classic lines in the film. Of course, there are countless impressive lines on the screen. In the next issue of The World of Light and Shadow, we will continue to introduce you to the wonderful lines that have appeared in other films. You are welcome to tune in then.
Wong Kar-wai can be said to be a master of screen dialogue design.
Just "Chungking Express" and "In the Mood for Love" introduced in the program since the last issue are not enough to cover the classic language in Wong Kar-wai's films. As one of the few costume films produced by Wong Kar-Wai, "Ashes of Time" also has many memorable lines.
Accompanied by a fierce fight, the film begins with a philosophical monologue by Ouyang Feng.
"Many years later, I have a nickname called Xidu. Anyone can become vicious, as long as you try what jealousy is. I don't mind what other people think of me, I just don't want others to compare. I was happier. I thought some people would never be jealous because he was too proud. When I debuted, I met a person because he liked to hang out in the east, so many years later, he had a nickname called Dong. Evil."
In this monologue of Xidu, time has lost its absolute meaning. There are only relative coordinates of past, future, etc. Ouyang Feng is wearing clothes that do not belong to any dynasty. Speak modern language. Through this opening, the audience has already understood that although it is a martial arts movie, Wong Kar-wai's movie tells the emotions, confusion and alienation of modern people.
"She said that the biggest trouble for people is that they have too good a memory. If you can forget everything, every day will be a new beginning. How happy would you be?"
Just like the English title of the film "Ashes of Time", when people's emotional entanglements become entangled in time and space, everyone will choose to forget. However, even if you choose to forget, those memories left in time cannot be completely erased from your mind even if they are turned into ashes.
" Hong Qi: What is behind this desert?
Ouyang Feng: It is another desert. Everyone will go through this stage. When they see a mountain, they want to know what is behind the mountain. What is it? I really want to tell him that maybe if you go to the back of the mountain, you will find that there is nothing special. Looking back, you will feel that this side is better. But he will not believe it. With his character, he will not be willing to give it a try. ."
Ouyang Feng's words are enough to represent the inner world of all the characters in the film. No one in the film knows what will happen after they achieve their goals. This conversation between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi is actually a discussion of the life goals and pursuits of everyone in the world. When you achieve your goals, you may feel disappointed. Life is just one hill after another, attracting you to move forward. In fact, you may get nothing in the end. Through the words of the ancients, it explains the philosophy of life of modern people. Wong Kar-wai's unique film language is most fully demonstrated in this film.
Wong Kar-wai's discussion of the philosophy of life is also reflected in "Fallen Angels", another electric chair movie he directed. In this film with few dialogues and many characters' inner monologues, Wong Kar-wai uses the characters' mouths to explain his other thoughts on life.
“When you are young, you think there is an answer to everything, but when you get old, you may feel that there is no so-called answer in life.”
When everyone is young Sometimes, we will think about the meaning of life. But whether such thinking can achieve the desired goal, Wong Kar-wai gave us the answer. Perhaps the question you were puzzled about when you were young was not because of how profound it was, but because the question itself had no answer.
"Every day you have the opportunity to pass by many people, and some people may become your friends or confidants, so I never give up any opportunity to rub against others. Sometimes I make myself No matter if your head is broken or bleeding! Just be happy."
This monologue by Takeshi Kaneshiro can be said to be a testament to this film. Under the night sky of the city, fallen angels wander around like ghosts. The intertwined behaviors of the two groups of characters in the story are interspersed throughout the film, forming the framework of the entire film. As Takeshi Kaneshiro said in his monologue, the people you pass by may become your confidants, or they may never meet again. A small mistake, and there will be another ending waiting for the characters in the film. Wong Kar-Wai used his film shooting techniques similar to those of literary writing to create the same classic movie monologue in "Fallen Angel" as in his previous films.
The chance encounters and mistakes in life are full of confusion and poetry under Wong Kar-wai's lens. The shots of Johnnie To, another well-known Hong Kong director, reflect a completely different kind of beauty and warmth.
Two lonely urban men and women, although they are in a very real environment, still adhere to their ideals and are full of hope for love. Although they keep passing each other and never know each other, their ultimate fate is They arranged a day to meet. As said in the film:
"Life is full of coincidences, and one day two parallel lines will intersect."
Just one sentence, but it can be said that " The most appropriate interpretation of the word "fate". The two of them live in the same apartment building, so they are close to each other in space, but they firmly believe that they have nothing to do with each other, just like parallel lines in geometry, no matter how they extend, there is no point of intersection.
But the role of fate is to make the impossible possible. The meeting of the hero and heroine at the end of the film is just as expressed in this line. Two parallel lines will intersect due to coincidence, and the life trajectories of two people will What a big difference, but as long as there is fate, they will eventually come together one day.
Just like "Go Left, Go Right", meeting the right person at the right time will naturally compose a wonderful love story. But if you meet two different women at the same time, it will inevitably create a tangled emotional entanglement. Just like the emotional story experienced by the male protagonist Zhenbao in the movie "Red Roses and White Roses".
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by female writer Zhang Ailing. However, on the basis of restoring the original work, director Guan Jinpeng mastered the narrative skills of the film and cleverly told the emotional relationship between a man and two women. The male protagonist Zhenbao's dilemma between Meng Yanli and Jiaorui is appropriately expressed through a line in the film.
"Perhaps every man has had two women like this, at least two. Married to a red rose, over time, the red one turned into a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one was still "the bright one in front of the bed" "Moonlight"; Married to a white rose, the white one is like a rice stick on the clothes, but the red one is a cinnabar mole on the heart."
In fact, it is not just the male protagonist in the film , almost everyone in real life will encounter such a dilemma when it comes to emotional issues. But no matter who you choose in the end, the beautiful image of the other person left in your heart will be unforgettable.
The feelings for the person who is by your side will eventually fade away as time goes by, but the charm of the other person will become more charming as time goes by. At this time, In everyone's heart, there will naturally be memories of the one who was abandoned in the past. This is just like the image metaphor of red roses and white roses in the film. This line has also become a popular saying because of "Red Roses and White Roses".
Of course, no matter which lover you are facing in your life, you will not just love her purely. More often, you will also have to face the loss caused by love. , sentimentality and other mixed emotions of love and hate. Just like Tony Leung Chiu Wai's heartfelt inner monologue after facing the army escorting the princess alone in "The Unparalleled".
"Many times, if you love someone too deeply, you will get drunk, and if you hate someone for too long, your heart will be easily broken. The most painful thing in the world is waiting. I didn’t know she was waiting for me. For how long, I thought that I would never have the chance to see her again. Suddenly, I didn’t know how to speak, I didn’t know how to say the first sentence, telling her that I was really happy.”
Tony Leung's words can be said to be the best confession a man can make to his lover whom he deeply loves and has deeply hurt. However, when the two finally meet again, the power of love is enough to make all the hurt of the past disappear. His emotion after the relationship between the two went through twists and turns and finally had a perfect ending showed the audience that the highest state of love is that the audience loves each other regardless of each other.
"It turns out that many troubles in the world can be easily solved. As long as you are willing to look at some things from the other side, you will have a different situation. I finally understand what the meaning of "Through the Mirror, the Moon in the Water" is, in fact, it is the result of love , I should be in you, and you should be in me. What does it matter who is a boy and who is a girl? Just be happy together. Today, she is the little bully, and maybe it will be my turn tomorrow." /p>
These memorable classic lines in the film can be said to be an important channel for us to understand and remember a film. It is precisely because of these wonderful lines that we have these classic movies that we talk about. I believe that in the future, there will be more classic lines like the ones we introduced in movies, waiting for us to reminisce.
