Mortal raving - 22.7.17 - Movie viewing and etiquette

Holy matters:

It's been a long time since I went to the cinema to watch Hong Kong films. Of course, most of the current Hong Kong films are co-produced with the mainland. Some people say that the golden age of Hong Kong films is over, and Hong Kong films are on the decline. It is indeed a pity that the Hong Kong film industry, which once flourished with hundreds of flowers, has gradually become more and more "mainstream" and the main theme.

Now, as long as there is a standard Hong Kong film to watch, almost the only way is to download it from the Internet. Because the subject matter shown in the mainland is either not so taboo, or it is a castrated version, or it is simply a shoddy thing that is used to cheat money. A friend joked that the real fans now are not in the cinema, but in front of the computer desk.

Yesterday, I went to see "The Detective War" directed by Wei Jiahui. The quality is considered to be the middle-to-upper-level passing line in the recent Hong Kong film genre. Wei Jiahui has to mention a little more. This is a pivotal figure in the Hong Kong film and television industry, a witness and participant in the golden age of Hong Kong film and television, and a screenwriter. Many popular film and television works in those years have Wei Jiahui behind the scenes, such as the TV series "Oath". Don't Bend Your Head", "The Great Era", 83 editions of "The Condor Heroes", 84 editions of "The Lu Ding Ji", "Unmerciful", as well as the movies "Peace Hotel", "The Birth of a Word", "Ghost Horse Rhapsody", "Lonely" "Man and Widow", "Slimming Men and Women", "Big Man Has Great Wisdom", "Full Time Killer", etc., can list a long list of films, which can be described as excellent works.

Throughout the whole film of "Detective War", the plot is relatively compact, the rhythm is relatively fast, and the specific details are not spoiled. The whole film has the shell of a suspense film. In fact, the reasoning process does not know whether it is intentionally or unintentionally weakened. Instead, it fills the audience's thinking space with a fast-paced plot trend. In itself, it is a typical police officer with some suspenseful elements. Bandit shootout movies, if you like to watch reasoning and psychological suspense movies, you may be a little disappointed. One of the most impressive scenes inside is that Liu Qingyun sleeps under the overpass and uses waste cardboard to build a suggested living space. In this scene, I suddenly thought of another classic "Big Times" starring him, which also has a similar bridge - the down-and-out Fang Zhanbo and the home appliance repair master sleep under the overpass, and they are also made of waste cardboard. The two film and television works are both from the hands of Wei Jiahui. The use of scenes can be said to complement each other. I don't know if this is a tribute.

The actors of the golden generation of Hong Kong movies are still working hard to shine. Two days ago, I saw the news that the 55-year-old Hong Kong actor Lin Jiadong was seriously injured in the film and was treated in the hospital. Not forgiving. The actors of the older generation are still working hard, and it is not known whether it is lucky or unfortunate for the fans, because at present, there are not many actors of the younger generation who can lead the way. When they don't move, who can take the baton in their hands?

Yesterday, there was a young couple sitting next to me watching the movie. The girl kept mumbling from before the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie. She was either discussing the plot with her boyfriend or talking to herself. At first, the boy echoed with interest. It seems that in the second half of the movie, his voice gradually disappeared, and only the girl was left chatting in a low voice. Although I know that these movie-watching habits and etiquette are basic qualities, not everyone has the quality. Although I am a little unhappy, I still look at this phenomenon with the principle of tolerance. .

I hope that the young lovers can go on forever. At the same time, if they can improve their literacy a little under the constant edification and learning of life, they should be very lucky.

Matt City lives forever!
