However, the film lacks originality in structure and packaging techniques. From time to time, it reveals the shadow of the Western film "The Lost Dreams" and the Hong Kong film "Sweetie". It teaches People feel sorry. Lai Lai and Shu Qi play Hong Kong college students in the 1970s. They were originally the golden girls that everyone admired. Later, Lai Lai was imprisoned for participating in a political protest movement, which led to their breakup. Unexpectedly, after many years, the two reunited unexpectedly after getting married. With the past and old love lingering, they reunited for a secret tryst, and finally died on the streets of England in 1997. The director tells the story in stages through the process of the two children dealing with the funeral and auctioning off their former residence. He also takes the opportunity to compare the sacrifices of elite students in the past for their ideals with the frivolity and casualness of today's college students. The feeling of nostalgia is very strong, but, " "Try to Remember", a golden song in Western movies, is undoubtedly too monotonous and repetitive, and is far from the dramatic effect of Teresa Teng's song interspersed in "Sweet Honey". Version 2: On New Year's Eve in 1997, tourists gathered beside London Bridge to count down to the New Year in the snow. A car crashed. A pair of middle-aged men and women in the car, Guang Sheng (played by Lai Lai) and Yun Wen (played by Shu Qi), were killed. Pass away. The headlines in the newspapers the next day revealed that they were actually a pair of lovers who had an affair and each had a family. After the two families learned about this, they were very angry and refused to go to London to identify the bodies. They each sent a son (played by Daniel Wu) and a daughter (played by Zhang Shenyue) to handle the funeral arrangements. Young people were born in Hong Kong and first came into contact with parents who resented each other for causing their own deaths. They looked through the photos, letters and diaries found in their parents' luggage, slowly restoring the last journey of their parents' lives and touching on the distant past of their parents' deaths. Back in Hong Kong, the two young people understood each other and continued their parents' unfinished love story. Film Appreciation: The film reflects people's understanding and expression of love in the 1970s, and also affects the love values ??of the new generation of young people. There is laughter when we get together, pain when parting, and even sadness when we meet again after several separations. Classic clips: 1. After Xu Gangsheng went to study in France, the two could only communicate by phone. When the two of them talked for the last time, Yunwen said: I will do it next time. . . . I'll call you next time I save enough money. The girl's fairy-tale longing and persistence for love are vividly expressed here. 2. Xu Kangqiao expresses his love for Hong Kangqiao as "the one by the pond".

3. After Xu Gangsheng saw rhymes in the rearview mirror while driving in the UK, he got out of the car and looked for rhymes through binoculars on the roadside. Here, the past time of the two is cleverly interspersed with the blurred real world, making people wonder: Is the past more important than the present? And this was the last time the two of them met again. When they saw each other, they smiled with relief at first, and finally their expressions were frozen in silence and confusion. After all, they had experienced too much. What should they cherish? Real life or the indelible memory in your heart? They don't want to think about it anymore and just let nature take its course. 4. Of course, I have to mention the ending. The brilliant fireworks and the sweet and beautiful moments in the past are seamlessly combined, making people feel that love is so warm that even death is worth it. Behind the Scenes Production This film traces back to the Diaoyu Islands in the early 1970s and the return to Hong Kong in 1997. On the surface, it is about twenty years of life-and-death love, joys and sorrows, and the grievances and hatreds of two men and women. In fact, it is connected with the historical changes of Hong Kong. The "Ho Tung Building", a girls' dormitory in the school when lovers Lai Lai and Shu Qi were students, is a testimony. Decades later, this building had to be demolished and rebuilt because it was old. The building bears witness to the changes and vicissitudes of the world over the decades. The entire film has both a historical perspective and personal sentiments. Through the depiction of the campus life of the University of Hong Kong in the past, it reveals the colonial elite’s infinite nostalgia for the past and their self-imposed complex. The dreamlike elegance and sweetness, and the changes in the scene bring together the past feelings and parting emotions of Hong Kong people, especially the song "TRY TO REMEMBER". Aristocratic school education firmly expresses the self-awareness of Hong Kong people. The film was nominated for eleven Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. [Edit this paragraph] Basic information about the song album Album: "City of Glass" Singer: Lai Lai Release: Sony (HK) Time: 1998-09-30 Language: Chinese Genre: POP Region: Hong Kong and Taiwan Album introduction Lai Lai is the one who knows how to express himself best He is a person who uses and continues the advantages and momentum of his career. In terms of movies, he used "City of Glass" to continue the fame and fortune he gained in "Sweet Honey". In terms of music, he used "City of Glass" in the soundtrack of the movie. On the disc, "Not Again" is a sequel to the hit commercial song "I Love You Like This" a few months ago, which continues his momentum since switching to a new record company. The similarity between the two songs is almost 70%. Of course, the composer Dick Lee did not deliberately copy it, but he also understood that Lai Lai’s most personal singing style and the song form that the market needs most are like this. But it is rare that two songs can achieve unique and charming effects even though they are close. In addition to the surprises of "Never Again", the disc also performs well in Li Ming's cover of Brothers Four's famous song "Try To Remember". The most surprising thing is that Lu Qiaoyin's trip-hop-heavy song "Try To Remember" is included on the disc. "Cinema of Your Choice" seems to be incompatible with the theme of the entire album, which relies heavily on strings. Fortunately, the focus of the whole disc is only on Lai Ming and the extremely well-shot VCD that comes with the disc. With them nearby, it makes sense to focus on the guests.
