I only have feelings for certain people, like those tall people

I watched this movie relatively late. Just before watching it, I watched "The King's Speech" right next to it. It stands to reason that watching these two movies in tandem is not good for them. It's too unkind to watch the film later, after all, "The King's Speech" is a true masterpiece. But after I gave "Full Moon" 4 stars, I hesitated for half a minute and decisively changed it to 5 stars.

The change to 5 stars is not only because of the soft Cantonese spoken by the beautiful Tang Wei, nor is it only because of the wonderful and restrained performances of the veteran actors. The change to 5 stars reflects my feelings towards the movie. Many insights are mixed with an ordinary person's respect for movies and life in the face of this impetuous world.

Many times, people will find themselves in a world that is completely different from their own, or re-establish some of their own values, thinking that through this kind of perspective, they can truly recast themselves psychologically, and The movie just fits this collective unconsciousness, a bizarre experience, the ups and downs of a big man, a wonderful dream trip, and a thrilling struggle of a small person. Almost all blockbusters have gone through these routines. Why, because they There is a market, and goals that are almost impossible for people to achieve in the real world, and feelings that they will never experience until death, can be satisfied in just one and a half hours. But if the film masters change their perspective and start taking special pictures of your ordinary life, taking pictures of your smelly socks and the fleas on your body, inserting the camera into your cowardly and perverted heart, and portraying you as accomplishing nothing, Being submissive, life is a mess, and the ending will not give you the powerful little dragon in "How to Train Your Dragon" who loves you with all his heart. The movie starts with a decision to live faithfully and no longer be higher than life. Do you still think this is art? , many people will sneer at it, and many people will say, then why should I go to the movies? I go to the cinema to pay money to sleep, and the sound of the movie makes me half dead, so why did I go there? !

Yes, but isn’t that what life is like? You have to be woken up by the alarm clock in the morning to go to work and school, or you have to be like Alai played by Jacky Cheung without being woken up, or you have to sleep in and be useless. My mother scolded me to death, my aunt waited on me for dinner, I had no emotions, and I had no looks. Fortunately, I was a rich second generation working in an electrical appliance store, but the funny thing is that I lived in a muddle until the age of 41 and still had nothing. I don’t know, but the plots of these movies make people feel sad and exciting. Failed little people will definitely fill the world in large numbers. When the experiences of little people are condensed into one and a half hours, it makes people think more about how to live. The power of trivial and vulgar things has more profound penetrating power.

Watching this movie carefully, there are so many things that I find wonderful. The main thing that attracts me is the real lifestyle of the little people, which can be observed from the characters created by Jacky Cheung.

Jacky Cheung's characterization

We can no longer test the discrepancy between the character's original plan and the one created by Jacky Cheung. But Alai's kindness and mischief, confusion and delicacy, cowardice and bravery, happiness and melancholy, insignificance and indifference are all handled well by Jacky Cheung. There are so many specific scenes that if written out, it could be as long as a monk's thesis. I recommend that you go to the cinema or in front of the computer and watch it slowly. Below I have selected a few places that interest me.

The relationship between Alai and his father is mainly expressed through Alai’s dreams. Everything in the dream looks like swaying waves like sea water. I think this is wonderful. Alai's dream reflects Alai's heart. He was originally a small person who drifted with the crowd. He had no big pursuits and his life was already a foregone conclusion before it even started. In real life, someone takes care of his daily life and he doesn't have to worry about his future. His only interest is watching. Reading detective books, wherever the sea of ??life rises and falls, his life will swim without any effort. Alai must be very much like his father who died young. His father was his confidant and the person to whom he confided his soul.

Alai and his mother, this setting is in line with the family situation of most people, that is, there is a "strong mother" in the family. Alai's mother is shrewd, calculating in everything, strong and irritable, and she is also a little woman who longs for love in her heart. This character is played vividly by Bao Qijing. Who doesn’t have a mother like this in their family?

Alai’s mother suddenly suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. When Jacky Cheung was in the hospital, the doctor told him that the shrewd and powerful proprietress of an electrical appliance store, her mother was already in her sixties, of course she would. When he suffered from heart disease and high blood pressure, Alai was shocked. Note that Alai's shock was just a question and a look of surprise. Little people are little people, and even when they express themselves, they are not crazy or exposed.

But what struck us as moviegoers was an even bigger shock. That man, who was very smart and capable, wore chiffon every day with a swaying skirt and gave orders in the electronics store. He often went to the beauty salon for manicures and hairdressing, and wore heavy makeup and electrical appliances. The proprietress who the shop assistant was flirting with turned out to be an old man in her sixties!

And Alai is forty-one years old this year!

The Alai who stayed in bed every morning and was forced to go on a blind date by his mother, wearing a cotton plaid shirt and jeans, squatting in the corner of the electrical appliance store chatting and eating with the guys, was already in his thirties! The pathos of the little person is heightened by this plot to a very high level. It may be funny, and it may make people feel incredible. But then, if you look at it, the life of the little person is very calm even like this. There is no sudden awakening. People who are really alive are not. I know that the so-called sudden awakening is not the norm on the stage of life. That is art, not life! What should have been the most earth-shattering moment in our protagonist's muddled life was that he just lowered his head and was teased as a "good boy" by the doctors in the hospital. Then he stayed with his mother blankly and took a nap outside the door. He was suffering in his heart. We Everyone can understand that there is no twist and turn in the movie at this moment that makes the protagonist burst into tears and make a vow to become Li Ka-shing. Such calm handling reveals the true meaning of life. Living a plain life like this without being forced or pretentious is the strength of this movie. There is no roaring or escaping. Alai's life is like the yellow plum season in Hong Kong, moist and quiet.

Alai and EX. Alai and EX can be said to be the biggest contrast in this film. To paraphrase a sentence from "Selling Kidnappings", how come there is such a big gap between two former lovers? A combination of a wealthy second generation from an electronics store and an avant-garde photographer. Alai, who has never been married, EX, who has already been divorced, Alai, who is struggling to get out of bed every day, EX, who is vigorous and resolute in receiving guests in the middle of the night, Alai, who is confused and dependent, and Alai, who keeps pace with the times and is independent. EX, the pairing of these two people is not suitable in any way. Alai originally had longing for him and wanted to rebuild the old relationship with EX. EX has long been tired of hypocrisy and wants to return to the arms of this little person and find someone to talk to. After contact and testing, In the process, the two people got closer to each other but became more distant. A successful woman always wants to go back and find a simple love, but her simple first love boyfriend is no longer worthy of a successful woman. If we follow the routine of big shot movies in the past, it will definitely be the man desperately trying to catch up with the woman, and The woman sheds tears and says: "We can't go back." Or two people have a passionate night, and the family is torn apart. However, this film once again left us with a big lackluster feeling. The two people interacted with each other neither salty nor cold, and they were both calm and sincere to each other. It is really feasible to be a buddies occasionally. In the end, Ah Lai calmly said to his EX like he said to his buddies, I fell in love with someone. EX, who was about to confess his love to Alai, also accepted the ending calmly. Everything is so real and reliable, I think this is what life is really like, otherwise the earth would no longer be an ellipsoid by now.

Alai and Ailian. The name Ai Lian was really well chosen, and the character created by Tang Wei fits this name. Pure, elegant, reserved, perseverant and principled, the love between these two little people makes people unable to find anything particularly exciting and moving. What is left to us is the beauty of details. Both of them love to read detective stories. Alai, who was originally plain and ordinary, turned into a wise, humorous, handsome and cute boy in front of Ai Lian. Regarding the appearance of Indians, you can go to the movie to savor it. Alai fell in love with Ailian, but did not reveal anything because he knew that Ailian had a boyfriend, A Xu. When I originally thought that Ailian was in love with her son, I unexpectedly saw Ailian hugging another man on the street. When she returned to the electrical appliance store, the proprietress pointed at Alai's nose and yelled, "You are still not a man" and what happened to Axu later. He found Alai and gave him a severe beating. Seeing that Alai was helpless, he was beaten pitifully. Even when he looked cowardly, he also yelled, "Are you a man?" These two scenes are unforgettable. The first time Alai said nervously but firmly, "She has a boyfriend, don't force her." The second time Alai was beaten to pieces and still said loudly, "I know how to make her laugh." "This is the view of love of little people. They don't have to publicize their love philosophy all the time, but they truly practice the most unpretentious and noble concept of love silently. To love someone is to make her (or him) happy! The love of the little people is very touching, and it ends perfectly with Ailian innocently revealing her decayed tooth that has been repaired.

Don’t read my film review and think that this is a "Country Love Story". This is a mediocre but true story about a small person in the bustling city of Hong Kong. It is said to be real because it is so real that it does not give us any possibility of fantasizing about how big people deal with problems. It condenses the stories that happen around us every day. A movie about a small character makes me respect movies. Isn’t a movie that is true to life the highest realm of movies? I am willing to be a little person, with true silence, tranquility and joy in my soul.
