one, love the lonely
film its name, a thousand words inclusive of the rich content, is divided into three chapters: forget the revolutionary years, will not forget.Chapter forget the primer, amnesia about the Su Feng Li Shaodong help gradually restore the memory of the story; Chapter revolutionary years as a principal, by Shao Feng-East and the Soviet Union the memory of narrative from 1979 to 1989, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong residents and the British the struggle between the government; not forget the end of the third chapter, the first chapter of the narrative space of convergence, phoenix recovery memory about the Soviet Union after the story.
This complex story, first and foremost a social and dramatic full of love.Su Fengsheng the boat dwellers, bathed in the water growing up.Shao Dong lived on the shore estates and his mother was smuggled from the mainland over the black market doctor.Child, Su Feng Shao in the game room stole the purse of the East, the two form a quarrelsome lovers.Growing up, they are subject to Father Gan, Qiu Ming width of enthusiastic social workers, join the fishermen, poor and undocumented mothers rights movement.Shao-Feng Su Tung love, Su Feng-Ming wide obsession, resulting love triangle rugged.
Gentle cool, radical thinking is wide-Su Ming Fung idol, lighting up the girl's feelings, taking the girl's love.Because out wide, who do not understand politics, Su Fengcheng the pro-democracy activist ranks of the faithful.One day, Su Feng-Ming W told they were going to get married.Su Feng opened the door without a word to jump down.Shocked by the wide acceptance of the Su Ming Fung of love, the two hugged each other tightly, apprenticeship-like relations between the Enlightenment desire for the ambiguous disputes.Su Fenghuai abortion on the child decide.Shao Ming Dong asked the child is not wide, she said firmly: I do not regret it.
But love needs the mind fit.Underground sub-unnamed lovers tired of getting to Sue Fung, she came out wide office, the cause of the frustration encountered frustrated out wide.When she instinctively to console him, he raped a way to soothe and save themselves, the last of her heart a little love left ruins, and finally realized that the practical significance of their relationship.Su Fengcheng by all, staggered walk in the street a car accident and lost his memory.
Passionate love is different from the Su Feng Shao Feng-East of the Soviet Union silence a lot of love, always much concerned about the Soviet Phoenix's every move.Because Su Feng, Shao joined the pro ranks of the East, just want to spend more time with her for a while.After a rainstorm the day, and Su Fung sitting on the steps of docks, Shao Dong come and ask her not to buy cigarettes, she said: shops are closed.Shao Dong sit down and gently handed him a cigarette.Su Feng-lit cigarette, and smoked with free and easy.Shao Dong looked at her lips tilt between the misty wisps of smoke.Since then, never smoked Shao East always carry a pack of cigarettes.Shao Dong Feng Su asked why a pack of cigarettes, he simply said: used to it.After amnesia
Su Feng Shao East has been accompanied her.In the quiet valley, Su Shao-Dong Feng to blow a tune.Shao Dong Su activated blown a thousand words Phoenix's memory.Su Feng-hit in terms of its extensive front to pretend ignorant of the past, then fishes Shao Dong wrote: I'm afraid you know I will go after the good.Turned and left the East hear Shao, Su Feng Q: Do you still like me? Shao East just handed her a pack of cigarettes, for the love leave a silent ending.
Second, the voice passes voice
her voice has a magic of love overlook the myriad human, theme song of a thousand words penetrated the hearts of helpless and sad figure, the elegance of the bloody episode the human struggle with the outside world, the distillation of a paean to life, together to play the song tells the sad silence.
Theme song a thousand words appeared in the film four times, each time with the hero's emotional entanglements are closely related.The first was Shao Feng grave when the East and the Soviet Union.Su Fung singing a thousand words to restore the memory.The second car in the QIU wide.Su Feng-Ming W told him to get married with his girlfriend when the car's voice echoed a thousand words, Su Feng hear silent, and then opened the door to jump from a speeding car.The third time was the East Shao Feng in the member's office to show love when the Soviet Union.Shao-Feng Su Tung bought to accompany her favorite red dress, sitting on the roof gently blowing harmonica.Su Feng came to follow the song a thousand words, his face slightly warm glow smile, knowing it is a sweet smile.Red dress symbol of the Soviet Union has been looking forward to Phoenix love, smile, love it when she felt Shao East reveal the truth.She soon Lianqi just smile, because her thoughts were brought to the next song, wide body.Feng fourth abortion in the Soviet Union.Sufeng Huai Ming-wide child, decided to go to Shenzhen abortion.Shao Dong care along the way made her feel warm and prepared, when she lay on the operating table, began to play outside the East Shao familiar a thousand words, then the complexity of her heart beyond words.
Do not know why, sad it is all around me, I pray every day, quick off the loneliness of love......If the width of the Ming Su Feng Yan said love is love can not be lonely , then east to the Soviet Union Shao Feng's love is to give a thousand words buried in the heart and the love of silent loneliness.So, when the Soviet Union to listen to Shao Feng Yi Men in the Office of the East sounded a silent declaration of love, her face filled with happiness first, and then slowly into Mangranruoshi look.At that moment, Sufeng Qing Chu situation they face, and she not only hard to break away and the love between the wide Touhuan Ming, Shao-East and can not readily accept the deep feelings of love.Lonely love songs, it is east of Su Shao Feng and understand the plight of the common emotions, into the life led by two affinity carrier system.
Third, Hong Kong Chronicles
movie titles at the outset to express the director's written for the Chronicle of Hong Kong's political intention:
This is a description of the eighties Hong Kong sports video, with many plots and most of the major players are real historical events and characters as the basis.Interspersed in the film's street theater is the life of political activist Wu Zhongxian portrayal of his life for radical ideals, died of cancer until 1994.
Television interviews, news stories and black and white photographs, all in all this is to tell the audience the real social events have occurred.The idea in the first years, ten thousand words in the title is a revolution, with the documentary style of the late 70s to late 80s Hong Kong's major social and political movements one by one onto the screen, including the boat dwellers, wives, mothers , LAU San-ching events.All the people in a radical revolution in the horn and shouting through a whole decade, QIU W is a witness to this era.
As a pro-democracy activists QIU wide, bearing in mind the radical thought.To help the underlying sound of civilians, he took to the streets with a crowd demonstrations, shouting, a hunger strike.However, the Government made him impregnable fortress again and again without success.So, he chose to join the government establishment, the establishment of Office of Members QIU wide, in order to get a more effective outcome.Enter the system must follow the established rules of the game, you need to talk about strategy.So he started a hunger strike offensive against the wrists, north of the frustrated radical revolution completely routed the dream.At this time, he found, whether inside or outside the establishment establishment, are the same despair.
As their dreams and QIU Ming wide street theater was also the hero of Wu Zhongxian.Street theater concise account of this social activist's revolutionary career, including determining the political fate of two things: First, bi-weekly Journal of the seventies he used to do site contact address be mistaken for Trotskyist, and second, he came back north accused of being traitors to clear out the leather UMA.This is a winner takes all, non-political norms of Friends of the enemy that lead to tragedy.Wu Zhongxian career in the excitement ahead, lost in melancholy and the civil rights struggle after another film each other, line drawing of the eighties scene of social movements in Hong Kong.
four grown up little people and Sad
thousand words in the English translation for the Ordinary Heroes, which tells of ordinary life Ordinary Heroes powerless and helpless.The beginning of the film, Feng Su amnesia in a tunnel running barefoot, alone, scattered, no one around, helpless, as if caught in a nightmare.This scene reminds me of Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood at the beginning of Chapter IX:
1969 year, I do nothing but think of the quagmire.It was as if every step forward, the shoe will be completely off the sticky mud.I like the mud is very hard to ship step.The Ins and Outs and see nothing, no matter where they go, only the endless quagmire in the continuation of the dark.......The world around me change a lot.For example, even the famous John Kurt died.Everyone called for reform, as if to see reform in the distance coming.But those changes, at best, just another meaningless without the background of the actual day.I almost did not lift the face, the only day to day living.Reflected only in front of me now never-ending quagmire.
Film takes us back over the past years, in addition to those who remain in the hearts of major events, there is a girl's love life of poverty and low-level people, more a group of fresh Ordinary Heroes: people, petitions, campaigned for QIU Ming wide, the pursuit of freedom, mind and loving Father Gan, generosity tragic, Gongbaichuicheng the Wu Zhongxian.However, the Soviet Union and the Shao-Feng Tung, these is no great history of nothing but the background of practical and meaningful day.Where they concentrate in the chaotic noise, do not care whether the improvement of living situation, just wanted to stay with your lover.
Love, always deeply moving force, Su Fengcheng to the Li-Chen Lee.The famous porn stars in three films depict such a brilliant image, get the 36th Taiwan Golden Horse best actress, Shu Qi by the good times with the coronation of Golden Horse Similarly, there is a tempered into a steel, phoenix flavor.Intelligent and kind, stubborn pull off, Jieao countryside atmosphere, the vitality of grass-like, weak body gave Sufeng coated flashing Seiki.
Ann Hui on the edge of poor people were put into a lasting look, the first and third chapters should appear before the call after the mentally challenged children, cast a layer of deep metaphor.Mentally disabled children is the underlying ignorance when people in the image of being trampled upon reflection, such as QIU W said: Ignorance is guilty, that does not say is that the more serious crime.Today, the awakening of the underlying non-old people have been fooling, for their own voice and social protest.This struggle in the end do? Shao-East with a sad monologue gives the answer:
Father Gan no results of their actions, the old saying someone else, even themselves Gubuguolai this world is difficult to do good.
five, beyond politics and life of faith
a touch of sadness and depression in the atmosphere, Father Gan life I felt peace and warmth.In a radical revolution and political movements of society, Father Gan brought beyond the life of love and faith.Father Gan is a leftist ideology
admirer of a feeling of longing for the revolution, from Italy to the strange oriental country, had just wanted to mainland China via Hong Kong.But when he saw the embarrassment of living lower in Hong Kong, they actively participate in the QIU wide social movement organizations, the other is two years.Father is willing to Shao East
spiritual mentor, pursuing pure heart with action.He played the guitar, singing the Internationale and hymns, half-baked to teach children English estate, Italy, to poor children to eat chocolate, the wife is not around to help poor kids, do not ask the reasons for emergency money to those drug addicts, as the life of Jesus belong.One day, Shao Dong missed appointments did not entrust the care of children, willing to Shao priest angrily reprimanded the East.Night, in his diary note of this on this matter:
June 16, 2088, sunny.Are still a toothache, I made a mistake and I felt very guilty.I should not blame Shao East, hurt his pride.Although he missed appointments, did not go according to Gu Xiaoming, but everyone has their own difficulties.I called him, thought he was better than him, than he knows how to care for others.In fact, this is a vanity.Hopefully, I can regain humility and service for the masses, ask for forgiveness!
This confession diary, is a portrayal of a noble soul.For mothers with their families, Gan priest decided to hunger strike against the government.Silent night, the empty building, he positions the faith alone, remember that to be known as the father of India's Mahatma Gandhi.
Three days later, the priest can not normally stand Gan, Shao-East asked him: you do useful? He said: There is no use not tomorrow you can see, some things I thought of the day I die do not see.Faith is the result not ask to pay, and only beyond this world people will see that tomorrow, and to die one day will see the invisible.Father Gan to the mainland when he helped the people who have been off with his wife and children.Simple gifts simple blessing, represents the sincere thanks, also touched the screen outside the heart.
