1. Yam Tat-wah's strict interpretation of his son's hatred. Most fathers of rural families have no education, and they don't know how to teach them. They implement their love according to their own ideas.
2. Wu Junru's movies are always very simple and touching. The story that made me cry was that the nurse in the hospital felt that the tip was small, but she asked the nurse for a lighter injection, which was innocent. After the nurse maliciously and rudely finished the injection, the son reluctantly smiled and said nothing in order not to worry his mother, while the mother burst into tears and choked when she was distressed by her son.
3. The scene where the younger brother misses his younger brother and throws the stolen beloved thing into the sea. Years have stolen the feeling of looking back.
4. It is easy to remind people of the situation when brothers and sisters were together when they were young.
Wait, although it's a nostalgic Hong Kong film, I could see similar scenes when I was a child.
Go and have a look sometime. /by/53833.html Even if you cry, it's nothing. Those who should be moved should shed tears.
[Article 2: Review]
Most warm films are brief and wordy, but this film is not bad in this respect, except for "Later Death" and "Later Seconds", which are a little too slow, and the rhythm of 90% is relatively normal.
This film is also called purely from the standpoint of children. It outlines the street view of Hong Kong at 1969 from the perspective of children wearing fish tanks, making the turbulent city look less bleak and difficult, leaving more room for imagination for the audience.
Director Alex Law used to be the assistant director of Xu Anhua, and it seems that their academic qualifications are relatively consistent. Therefore, the tone of the two films is consistent in details, nostalgic and warm, and they also like to use slightly yellow pictures to reflect the state of the whole society from a small angle. Years have stolen the feeling of looking back. 1969 Hong Kong suffered from British oppression, official corruption and occasional typhoon attacks, all of which were reflected in the film, and these events fully portrayed the strong will of a man who struggled tenaciously at the bottom.
Yam Tat-wah said that when she got a haircut in Qin Pei's shop, at first, she cared about her head and feet and thought about how to make it better. Why did she become like this? If she cares about her head, she won't care about her feet.
What I fear most is this story. A person has the ability to bear hardships, but no matter how hard he works, he can't improve his living conditions. In the final analysis, society is changing so fast that many people can't keep up with the pace of change, so they have to be left behind by the torrent of the times and struggle to survive. Who can blame this? Many things don't make sense. Having skills doesn't mean having food forever, just as my brother said to his younger brother, "Nothing in this world is always effective." People living in this era are like ants, but they must have tough nerves and elephant eyes. Sometimes they don't know whether to thank this era or lament it.
Maybe we should also believe what the strong and optimistic woman said: it is difficult to get better step by step, and it is difficult to get better step by step. "Always believe in being a man!" This is a woman's belief. It sounds like an empty and blind superstition, but who can say that this religious belief can't support you through typhoons again and again? I have always felt that such things as strength and perseverance are the most profound and can't be embodied in desperate and bottom people, because you have no way to escape, so you can only choose to be strong. This is not so much a spirit as an instinct of human survival. So many times, we don't have to choose to be strong, we just need to choose to be or not to be.
Life is not a director, the director wants to make people despair, and life will always leave you some gaps. The house scattered by the typhoon, as the death of the brother that the whole family hopes, will always be hit hard, but if you choose to live, you will live forever. When the daughter-in-law becomes a woman, her life will pass like this. People who are alive are great.
Besides, there are many beautiful shots in this film. This kind of beauty not only brings great sensory enjoyment to the audience, but also reflects the romantic feelings of the director. I heard that this film is autobiographical, so we can also get a glimpse of the director's open-minded attitude from this way of handling. From this point of view, the theme of this film can be summarized as: despair and hardship, and then it is all poetry.
[Article 3: 800 words]
"In the ever-changing life, time is the biggest thief."
After reading it for a long time, I always want to write something, but I feel sleepy every time I write. The heart seems to be penetrated by countless soft and fine silver needles, which is a kind of intensive and lasting pain. Time, or years, is a beautiful but cruel word.
In the deep but clear voice of Aarif Lee, Hong Kong under British colonial rule in 1960s slowly flowed out. Broken and crowded streets, rude British police, hospitals that ignore people's lives, and indifferent medical services ... It is true that darkness and depression are the main colors of this era, but this does not prevent a light bean from appearing in the darkness: neighbors sit around for dinner, talk about their parents' shortcomings, and children go door to door to eat other people's meals and chase and fight. This is a picture of how long they left us; The dreams and longings from the creaking tape recorder under the rain eaves are how long we have lost our poetry; That sweet first love, slightly bitter in the young years, just sang a hymn of fate lightly and slowly, even if the ending was sad, how long ago this innocence disappeared. Yes, but these sad days will never happen again.
Time, the thief hidden in everyone's heart, stole everything in the past. Whether it is sweet or sad, whether it is cherished or squandered. Even if Ginger is willing to throw everything she really loves and steals into the water, including the fish tank and the national flag, she can't get her younger brother's young life back in the torrent of time. Jin Yi, the eldest son of the Luo family, Jin Er's brother, an excellent student in physical education, and a girl's favorite lover are all as old as old photos. After many years, they turned into paper and disappeared. Should it be said that this is a cruel fate? The world is full of suffering, what can we say? As human beings, we are inevitably swept forward by the river of the times, and the ups and downs during the period are actually not our own. Therefore, watching the death of Jinyi and the destruction of Luoji shoe store in the typhoon, we can only give deep sympathy and simple hope.
Everyone in the film contributed wonderful acting skills and full emotional expression, but what moved me most was Wu Junru. Wash away the lead, simply forbear. Like dandelion, not gorgeous, but strong. She has two words that are the soul of this film. Although time is cruel and the world is fickle, "being a man must always believe". Life is always "one step is difficult, one step is good". There will always be wind and rain on the sunny road, but we can't give up the reason of life just because of a little death. She is a bridge to support the whole family and a beacon to unite people. As long as she is there and there is something she believes in, this family will not collapse.
We are not afraid of stolen time. Because there is the power of love, the persistence of faith, as long as there is hope.
[Article 4: The Feeling of the Thief of Time]
As a Hong Kong work, this film has really made great progress, and its artistic value deserves our appreciation. The film's description of a child's inner world is very true, showing a child's incomprehension of the unknown world and his original impulse to participate in it. These descriptions of more than one theft in the film are not expressed in a derogatory way, but in a light and humorous way, which shows that the director's intention is not to take theft as a direct expression, but to repeatedly explain the process of the director's understanding of the world. Here is a definition of human nature: people are alive and are so eager for what they think is beautiful. So the main line of the movie turned away from here.
Let's talk about Jin Yi, his efforts, and his efforts in the sports field. In fact, it is also a manifestation of the pursuit of beauty, but this pursuit of beauty is based on the needs of parents for their children in this family. In the scene of eating at the back of the film, the fire caused by "dad" when turning over his son's report card illustrates this point. In other words, Jin Yi is actually a virtual character in life, and Jin Yi is just a substitute for the realistic projection of parents' inner needs for life.
And parents' expectations for the future are pinned on this son. The description of this love process has largely adapted to the reality of boys and girls and is a success in artistic techniques. But the most important thing is that when Jin Yi went to the girl's house for the first time, because of the difference in social status between the two families, Jin Yi suffered a kind of self-injury. This actually shows that when life becomes living for others, that person will lose his own feeling of the beauty of life. Don't forget, the scene of the girl's mother playing the piano is actually telling the audience that the girl's family does not despise the boy. So you can comment on the character Jin Yi. If we care too much about what the outside world thinks of us, we will easily lose our true selves.
The "dad" in the story always emphasizes one sentence: being a man must keep the top. What does this top point to? In fact, that is to say, people should have their own fundamental support and yearn for a better future. In the spiritual world, my father has always regarded Jin Yi as the pillar of his family. In life, the father always regards himself as the head of the family. The "mother" in the story has always emphasized one sentence: always believe in being a man. This letter is actually a yearning for a better life. She firmly believes that something good will happen. Because this mother is a woman, the director pinned this passive yearning on her, which is undoubtedly the success of artistic techniques. In the story, my father's active yearning to settle in from the inside out is also the success of artistic techniques.
The ending of the story deviates from reality. Dad didn't succeed in keeping the top spot, and what mom believed didn't meet her wishes. This story seems to be a tragedy. From the perspective of pure life, this is indeed a tragic story, but from the perspective of philosophy, the story is not finished. The story must be pushed back from this ending to find the answer to the story.
Grandma in the film said: when a person throws all his beloved things into the sea of suffering and fills them up, he can see his relatives. This sea of misery is life. This beloved thing is the inner need and desire. If we retell the whole story in the meaning of this sentence, we will get the following results: Dad doesn't have to expect too much to expand his inner needs, and Mom doesn't passively expect what he needs, so they won't have such a painful spirit. The end of the film just broke their life logic, thus saving them from suffering. In this way, from the director's point of view, this is a rescue of human nature, which is also reflected in real life. So at this level, the story ends in comedy.
What the whole story tells people is, don't be too utilitarian and don't let desire devour your spirit. Only in this way can life be sunny forever.
Finally, Ginger accompanied her mother and worshipped her brother with a cheerful rhythm. The trees are full of flowers, and Ginger has entered that better high school. He doesn't get good grades and runs as fast as his brother. But life goes on, but this kind of life lacks the previous pressure.
[Article 5: Feelings]
Those honors and honors are too far away, and we always do our best and strongest. Have you ever thought about it? Too many things are unexpected. Like death. Our love, friendship and affection. My heart was broken because we left, and I finally understood why death was so frightening. ...
How many dead people are in extreme pain and sorrow? When death is inevitable, they open their hearts to it. It is often the people who love us, but also the most sad and painful people. To cover it up, they pretended nothing happened in front of you and smiled at you. They will find all kinds of reasons to drag you to the hospital. They cry behind your back and make money when they are extremely nervous, because they want you to stay in this world for a few more days. They don't want to believe that a person who used to be so strong will die and leave ... but business is getting worse and worse, and your illness is getting worse and worse. What can I do to save you? How can I bear to watch you die in pain, my child? ...
So, my mother and I sold my precious token together. I brought you fresh blood. When there are many white hairs and dark circles, I have no time to pay attention. Mom walks a long mountain road every day to give you something, so I made her a pair of comfortable red leather shoes. I know she will love you more than I do. She loves to join in the fun, haggle over every ounce and talk nonsense, and she can no longer spare time and energy to pay attention to trivial matters. When the house price went up, she didn't bid with the chief. He paid the rent with money that should have saved your life, but it didn't work. She painted our signboard red with safflower paint. It's hard on the left, but good on the right.
She always said, "People always believe that my father loves you. Although he always scolds you and always yells at you, he walked so far behind your back the day you arrived. He is over forty years old and should be tired, but I know that it is love that keeps him going, because I am a mother and love you as much as he does. Since you were taken to the hospital, those nurses have always tried to ask me for money. As long as I give less, they will give you a punch without mercy. I dare not tell him. At that time, he stayed at home alone and tried to make shoes. Those workshops monopolized our business. In order to make leather shoes, my father couldn't do business for seven or eight days. However, people don't want to wait. No matter how hard my father tries and how exquisite he is, no one cares. Fortunately, he has always given me the hope of wireless.
I give you the stolen flag, but you don't want it. I'll give you the star images I collected, but you don't want them. I'm willing to give it to you, but you don't need it. My brother, he can win many firsts. I watched you give me the gold medal, watch you talk to her on the phone, and watch you get weaker. I don't know what happened to you. I just found out that my parents were particularly sad when you were away. At that time, my mother sent us to Beijing, and we witnessed a person's death. From then on, I vaguely felt that my brother was no longer so powerful. You have been admitted to a big hospital. If you don't go home, mom will send you something every day. Father's temper is getting worse and worse. I come to the hospital to see you every day and learn from you. I began to study hard, hoping to be like you. ...
Dear, I began to like you from the day you won the championship. You told me about fish, two rainbows and many things. Gave me your gold medal. But when I ran back to China like crazy to see you, you were admitted to the hospital. That day, you kissed me for the first and last time. I sold the goldfish for you. Unexpectedly, you left me forever. Forever. You left forever, leaving us with eternal memories. Did you hear that? Many people are singing. The only song you left for everyone ...
[Article 6: Feelings of Thieves in Years]
The film is adapted from director Alex Law's own anthology and his family story. It is said that 90% of the films are the director's personal experiences, such as falling in love with a rich girl and losing his brother, and also commemorating relatives in the form of movies.
As an ordinary movie fan, I can't verify whether Alex Law's background is really as bad as Luo Jinji in the film, but what is certain is that he graduated from HKU in the 1970s, studied in the United States in the 1980s, and studied at new york University, one of the three best film academies. This experience made him synonymous with Hong Kong's elite culture. He, Wang and others have the same life track, so their films have the same characteristics, that is, they always have to be romantic while not forgetting to reflect the cruelty of reality. They will never see a severe criticism of reality, but highlight the unique romantic feelings of the middle class.
The same is true of< The Time Thief, which cleverly chooses a child's perspective to look at the ups and downs experienced by this deep-water ordinary family in Hong Kong society in the late 1960s.
This film, also known as He 1969, is the darkest and most turbulent period in Hong Kong society. Officials are corrupt, the police overcharge protection fees, hospital nurses charge money for injections and water delivery, and the Chinese mainland Cultural Revolution turmoil has made life very difficult for Hong Kong people. These are clearly seen in the movie. However, the deformed society seen through the sight of children wearing fish tanks has greatly alleviated the pain of facing a bleak life. It seems that collecting protection money can be regarded as a game in which ghosts send people to tease children to recite 26 English letters backwards, and the terrible loss of relatives has also been the most romantic solution for children to fill the "sea of misery" with stolen luminous cups, rice flags and the Monkey King. After my brother died, he was buried in a beautiful and quiet western-style cemetery. Of course, it was not the same grassroots feelings, but the warmth of that style. Perhaps pure kindness can't solve the indifference and pain in reality at all, but just as Lu Xun thinks that the wild flowers inserted at the end of the film also need such a bright tail to add a touch of romantic feelings to our lives.
Long-lost love
< Time Thief; Love as pure as a blank sheet of paper is something that Hong Kong movies have not had for many years. Look at Hong Kong movies in recent years. Represented by Ye Nianchen's "Love Trilogy", Hong Kong women are usually boring. In Lin Yihua's words: "The appearance can only be described by the doctrine of the mean, but when dealing with suitors, they all put on the faces and figures of princesses and queens." The hero does not fall in the wind. Sammi and Wong Cho Lam often appear on the screen, pretending to be a rich boy with few playboys.
On the other hand, even though there is an insurmountable class gap between grassroots boys and rich girls, movies still leave enough space for boys and girls to express themselves. There are not only "Double Rainbow" and "Memories of Tropical Fish", but also the sensational bridge of the princess leaving, the prince falling and the white rose dripping with blood, which makes people feel like watching Korean dramas. At this point, Alex Law's middle-class elite consciousness is once again highlighted, which makes love throw away the shackles of reality and leave only the best side for the audience to see. Such pure love can be said to be unattainable in today's society. Not to mention Hong Kong, even the mainland has long been eroded by a wave of unsettled commercial tides. There are too many, such as Jiangsu Satellite TV's program "Woman in the Back of BMW who wants to cry", which proves the degeneration of current social values. Because there is no, it is precious, which makes the love in the park so touching.
The warmth of mutual concern
But after all, it is not a romantic love story. What is more touching about this film is the mutual help and love between the family and neighbors.
Although Gu Dezhao's Shanghai dialect is not standard, it has invisibly revealed a message: they are Shanghai immigrants. From the mid-1940s to the early 1950s, a large number of skilled Shanghai tailors and hairdressers moved to Hong Kong. The dress names they left behind have been popular in Hong Kong for 50 years, such as the famous Peromont, and Shanghai hair salons used to be all over the streets of Hong Kong. These new immigrants get along well with their local neighbors. At night, they sit under one roof and eat in the open air, and watch movies with the "five big and seven small", which reminds me of Tony Leung Ka Fai and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. They are also a group of neighbors who shout the slogan "All for one, one for all" all day. & lt thief of time > Although we didn't shout the slogan loudly, sharing the details of food with * * * just reappeared the human touch of the neighborhood that gradually disappeared in the indifference of the iron gate in Urban Forest.
Feelings are tear gas. The mother took her son with hematologic cancer to seek medical treatment everywhere, and the father pawned his wedding ring for many years in order to make his brother lose fresh blood. When Wu Junru gently touched the deep ring mark on Yam Tat-wah's finger, the scene also made the family deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience like a knife.
The spirit of Hong Kong's return
No technology, no magic, it only tells a story of a grassroots family in Hong Kong. However, in the face of a hard life, the Hong Kong spirit of striving for self-improvement has been fully reflected in those little people.
Alex Law said that in recent years, Hong Kong society has been full of negative energy. The post-80s generation was confused when faced with difficulties, or just complained, which reminded him of the 1960s, when he faced more difficulties. He didn't just rely on his own beliefs to find a way to tide over the difficulties. The signboard of "Luoji Shoe Store" in the film is his obvious hint to these young people-the word "shoe" is half "difficult" and half "good". As Wu Junru's mother often said, "One step is difficult, one step is good; It is in this optimistic spirit that Hong Kong people have gone through decades and experienced economic take-off, financial crisis and SARS. " Always believe in being a man. "Alex Law is to borrow the mother's mouth to tell people this truth.
The old songs of the pop rock band monkees in the 1960s sounded many times in the film, "I want to be free, just like a bluebird flying in the sky ..." At the end of the film, "double rainbows" appeared in the sky to mourn an era that has disappeared. Then, in the impetuous air, we once again breathed a long-lost sense of belonging to Hong Kong. At this point, a city finally found the smell of being stolen by years.
