Chow Yun Fat immigrant movies

When I was young, I never thought about the future, and even my fantasies were in a hurry.

Can there be such a person who runs to you through thorns and bumps, breaks all your bubble-like fantasies, stands in your life vividly, teaches you to grow and makes you better?

I envy such a fairy tale encounter.

Before I met this movie, I never thought that apart from the appearance of parting, autumn also contains the shadow of fairy tales.

Like love, fantasy never lasts.

You think you love "Yangchun Baixue", but in the end you spend your life with "Xialiba people". What you think you yearn for is vigorous, but in the end you are moved by running water.

We don't know what love really looks like until we meet it.

Fairy Tales in Autumn tells a simple story.

The bow ruler who works in Chinatown is entrusted to take care of Li Qi (thirteen sisters), a Hong Kong woman who went to study in the United States alone. Under the care of the bow ruler, Li Qi walked out of the heartbreak after lovelorn, and gradually integrated into New York's study life from the isolated state. Bowruler also fell in love with this beautiful girl hopelessly and began to quit smoking and gamble for her.

However, they are far apart in lifestyle, hobbies and thoughts. Thus, the love between "Princess" and "Rotten Ghost" germinated in autumn in New York, but ended without beginning.

Such a simple and even plain love movie has won many awards, such as the Golden Award and the Golden Horse Award, in the Hong Kong film circle where True Hero and Plan A are both popular, and it is still regarded as a classic.

Everyone said that in that year, Chow Yun Fat was not as popular as Cherie Chung.

But in the movie, they are just two lonely young people who meet in a foreign autumn.

One is "I have nothing but a little self-esteem in my life", and the other is sitting in a strange small restaurant in Chinatown and stubbornly ordering a single egg Meiji.

This is the second part of the "Immigration Trilogy" directed by Zhang Wanting, and it is a story about vagrancy.

The drift of the bow ruler is the drift under great times and difficulties.

Thirteen sisters' vagrancy was a vagrancy of a small colony, with a little petty bourgeoisie flavor, which was a portrayal of many young people in Hong Kong at that time. She worships foreign things a little and yearns for the outside world, but she really went to a foreign country and couldn't integrate into life there.

Humans are good at fantasy, and fantasy is like being veiled. You used to think that the road ahead was bright and windy, like flowers, but one day you opened a thin cloth and found that it was just a thin line away from the abyss.

Love and dreams often fall into it.

At that time, Danny Chan was really beautiful and handsome, in line with all girls' fantasies about Prince Charming.

But as soon as he appeared, he became a gentle love rat. He sat opposite his thirteen sisters and moved out the lines of Woody Allen in annie hall to excuse his betrayal. At that moment, he became a "rag man".

"Love is like a shark. You must keep swimming, or you will die. "

Graceful, like a blunt blade cutting people.

In this wandering situation, the heavy blow of love is like a gas leak. Once the original essential things become qualitative, the more they are deeply rooted in people's hearts, the more they kill people.

That year, autumn was near and fairy tales were far away.

The best part of the film is that there is a big gap in reality, like two parallel lines, two people who never meet, let nature take its course.

She is a girl who is used to growing up, romantic and elegant. She had never seen a refrigerator burning gas, and longed for a window with a view of Brooklyn Bridge, thinking that she had extra money to go to the opera.

The Chinatown at the bow is full of vulgar "rotten ghosts", who live a transparent, true and free life. While complaining that "women are really troublesome", he created a rough and simple surprise, and all his duplicity and rudeness seemed so precious.

Zhang Wanting once said that in retrospect, the night in new york was really beautiful and lasted for a long time. From five to seven in the afternoon, the clouds have been changing.

The ending of this story is modeled after O'Henry's novel The Gift of the Magi. Bow went to buy a watch chain that would make her "Guanyin head and Guanyin feet" and ran wildly in the streets of new york at dusk, sweating like rain, but failed to recover her love.

They only had time to give their most precious things to each other, but they didn't want it to be a "meaningless" gift to each other. The strap and the watch finally failed to fit together, but they are inseparable.

As she said, after all, they belong to two worlds. In the face of such love, he is humble as dust, and she flinches.

When I was young, I never thought about the future, and even my fantasies were in a hurry.

Can there be such a person who runs to you through thorns and bumps, breaks all your bubble-like fantasies, stands in your life vividly, teaches you to grow and makes you better?

I envy such a fairy tale encounter.

There is always an insurmountable gap between reality and fairy tales.

After listening to Farewell to Autumn, the first comment said that the real bow ruler was later put into a Canadian prison for walking with white powder. There was a China night in the prison, and a China film was shown. Once "Fairy Tales in Autumn" was shown, he cried badly.

But I prefer to believe that, as the movie said, he opened a restaurant called sampan by the sea, with the door facing the Atlantic Ocean. In the evening, he moved a stool and sat at the door, drinking beer and blowing the sea breeze.

If he meets the girl he loves again, he will bend down like a gentleman and ask with a big smile, "Are you two?"
