What is so good about "Sweet Honey", which is called a classic love movie?

Today’s recommended film - "Sweet Honey"

Hong Kong in 1986 was a city of opportunity, attracting countless people to come here to work hard.

Some people say: "In Hong Kong, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, you will have a successful life."

Li Xiaojun, a simple and honest young man, has no ambition, but is still practical and capable.

Traveling a long distance from Tianjin to Hong Kong alone, just to make money, and then marry his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Xiaoting.

Li Qiao, a girl from Guangzhou with a dream, has clear goals and lofty ambitions.

I only want to become a complete Hong Konger, and then make a lot of money so that my mother in my hometown can live a good life.

Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao were originally two outsiders who couldn't get along with each other, but they met by chance in Hong Kong.

Li Xiaojun, who first arrived in Hong Kong, had a language barrier and dressed in an old-fashioned way.

Finally, with the help of my aunt, I found a job, euphemistically called "transportation worker."

When he was free, he wrote to Xiaoting about his work, life, and experiences in Hong Kong...

In Hong Kong, he was like an outsider, lonely and helpless, unable to integrate. life here.

Until one day, Li Xiaojun took a lot of change and plucked up the courage to go to the famous McDonald's restaurant.

While ordering, because he did not speak Cantonese, he stood in front of the counter, hesitating.

In desperation, the waiter Li Qiao translated Cantonese into Mandarin, which eased his embarrassment.

This made Li Xiaojun feel a touch of warmth and kindness in this cold city. He smiled and said to Li Qiao, who was meeting him for the first time: You are so kind. Li Qiao is different from Li Xiaojun. She looks like a native Hong Konger.

Speaking fluent Cantonese and a little bit of English, she does several different jobs. Her greatest happiness is watching more and more money in the cash machine.

It’s just a pity that in the city of Hong Kong, she is alone and has no friends.

So when she meets Li Xiaojun, who is as lonely as she is, she will help him learn Cantonese and introduce him to English tutoring classes.

Occasionally, I would ask Li Xiaojun to do a little favor and send flowers.

Li Xiaojun’s bicycle has carried chickens, ducks, flowers, and Li Qiao.

Li Qiao sat on the back seat of Li Xiaojun's bicycle. They walked through the bustling streets of Hong Kong and sang Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey" together.

After going back and forth, the two gradually became familiar with each other and became friends.

Later, on New Year’s Eve, two people who also liked Teresa Teng started a small business.

They set up a stall selling Teresa Teng’s records.

Li Qiao said: Mainlanders all like to listen to Teresa Teng. With so many mainlanders in Hong Kong, our business will definitely be booming.

Unfortunately, she was wrong.

Mainland people in Hong Kong desperately want to hide their identities and integrate into the city. Even if they like it no matter how much they like it, they will not risk exposing their identities by buying records.

That night, it rained heavily. They lowered the price of the records again and again, but still not a single one was sold.

The two frustrated people returned to Li Xiaojun's cabin and did something they shouldn't have done.

Spent their first New Year's Eve in Hong Kong together.

The next day, Li Qiao said to Li Xiaojun: Long live friendship...

At that time, Li Qiao looked down on Li Xiaojun and felt that he had no ambitions. He also knew that he had a daughter. friend.

The two deliberately distanced themselves for a while and stopped mentioning what happened that night.

However, the harder you suppress a feeling, the crazier it becomes.

They began to become closer and meet more frequently. Room 527 of the hotel seemed to have become their temporary home.

Li Xiaojun’s letters to Xiaoting became fewer and fewer, becoming more and more perfunctory.

In 1987, Hong Kong ushered in an economic crisis due to the turmoil in the stock market.

Li Qiao’s bank card balance was only two digits, so she had no choice but to become a masseur.

As Xiaoting’s birthday approaches, Li Xiaojun invites Li Qiao to a jewelry store to pick out gifts.

Li Xiaojun bought two identical bracelets, one for Xiaoting and one for Li Qiao.

In an instant, Li Qiao burst out and told Li Xiaojun:

We are just friends. The purpose of my coming to Hong Kong is not you, and the purpose of your coming to Hong Kong is not me.

So, after a brief intersection, the lives of the two people went to a forked road, one to the left and the other to the right.

Li Qiao met the underworld boss: Brother Bao in the bathing city.

When we met for the first time, Brother Bao asked: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Li Qiao said: "I'm not afraid of anything, only mice."

< p>When we met for the second time, Brother Bao said: "I invited a friend today, and I heard that you are very afraid of it."

So in the domineering dragon and tiger tattoo on Brother Bao's back, there are many A cute Mickey Mouse.

This strong man gave Li Qiao infinite tenderness.

And Li Xiaojun began to write letters to Xiaoting frequently, and even brought Xiaoting to Hong Kong and married her.

At the wedding, Li Xiaojun met Li Qiao again.

It’s just that he got married and she had Brother Bao.

The appearance of Li Qiao disturbed Li Xiaojun's mood.

He began to miss every bit of his experience with Li Qiao, but reason told him that he was already married to Xiaoting and could not fall into another trap.

So he lost his bicycle, avoided mentioning McDonald's, worked hard during the day, and fell asleep when he got home.

But in the end, Li Xiaojun still cheated on Xiaoting behind his back. He and Li Qiao came to the original hotel again, still the same 527.

After some struggle, they decided to be together openly.

As a result, Li Xiaojun divorced, and Li Qiao also decided to leave Brother Bao.

When Li Qiao saw Brother Bao fleeing on the boat, he could not say the words he had prepared.

She and Li Xiaojun missed it again.

Later, Li Qiao followed Brother Bao to New York. Brother Bao, who was running around in exile, gradually grew old and lost his prestige.

However, he still wanted to give Li Qiao a stable future: watering flowers, planting grass, and watching children play.

Unfortunately, Brother Bao died at the gunpoint of a street gangster before he could realize his dream.

Li Qiao, who was helpless, soon received a deportation notice from the US Immigration Service.

Going back to China seemed to be the best choice, but on the way to the airport, she escaped.

She saw a figure riding a bicycle from behind, who looked very much like Li Xiaojun. She chased him desperately, but still lost him.

The figure who looked exactly like Li Xiaojun gave Li Qiao hope that she would stay in the United States.

They live in the same city, see the same scenery, walk the same streets, listen to the same songs, but have never met each other.

Until Teresa Teng passed away, outside the record store playing Teresa Teng’s songs, in a foreign country.

With an inadvertent turn of the head, Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao quietly reunited.

Every character in the movie "Sweet Honey" values ??love and justice.

Li Xiaojun’s ideal was to marry Xiaoting, and he fulfilled his dream, even though he had fallen in love with someone else.

Li Qiao went to find Brother Bao, originally intending to show off, but seeing Brother Bao in trouble, he couldn't bear it and decided to stay with him.

Brother Bao couldn’t save his life when he was in trouble, so he told Li Qiao that when he got up tomorrow morning, all the men on the street would be better than him.

When Xiaoting learned that Li Xiaojun fell in love with someone else, her first reaction was, "Does she love you?"

She wanted to take Li Xiaojun back to Tianjin, but Li Xiaojun knew that he would never return. Xiaoting didn't bother to go. She just said when Li Xiaojun came to see her again, "You'd better not come to me anymore. Don't waste your time."

Li Xiaojun left all the property left to him by his aunt to Xiaoting, and wrote in the letter, "We have been together for so many years and have walked such a long road. Xiaoting, I am also sad."

In the movie Everyone faces their own situation, makes a choice, and bears the consequences.

Unconsciously, I thought of Hou Hsiao-hsien's interpretation of the Taiwanese movie "Love in the Wind",

"There is not so much darkness and decadence in the world. In the entire era of change, life, separation and death have become no choice. , like a trickling river."

Many people lamented that "Sweet Honey" is not just a love movie, it allows people to see the ups and downs and choices of individuals wandering in a foreign land, and in the changing times.

But even more because of this, "Sweet Honey" is an excellent love movie.
