What did you understand in "Happy Face"?

Many people think that the biggest highlight of the movie is not the plot but the music. There is no doubt about this. At this point, the same Taiwanese movie "The Wrong Ride" from the 1983s has a similar approach. It was Qi Yu who achieved success in "Happy Face", and Su Rui who achieved success in "The Wrong Ride". Music in a movie often becomes the best factor for foil and embellishment, but when the music exceeds the storyline of the movie itself, it will put the cart before the horse. Fortunately, "Happy Face" handled this point very cleverly and did not fall into such a situation. Qi Yu's classic songs "Olive Tree", "Happy Face" and "Walking in the Rain" were presented at different stages of the story, which just played a role in fueling the flames. This kind of music design reminds me of many movies, including those of mainland film director Jia Zhangke. The hometown trilogy "Xiao Wu", "Platform", and "Ren Xiaoyao" are the best examples, especially the latter two directly use the names of popular songs as movie titles, and their movies are always full of profound times. Imprint, the manifestation of this imprint is music. This is the same as movies, and they are all part of Mandarin movies. At the end of the film, the audience was left with a suspense: when Qi Ying appeared again where she was singing, Zhang Zhizhong appeared in the corner seat again. No one knows whether they will continue or something else. This kind of ending does not design more directness but sets up more imaginative space for the audience to imagine freely, why not.
