"Thieves of Time" is undoubtedly a very typical Hong Kong film. In the past, many people who have never been to Hong Kong Island learned about Hong Kong Island through film and television works.
But because many film and television works either tell the story of Hong Kong Island police and bandits, tell the story of Hong Kong Island societies, Hong Kong police, Hong Kong Island wealthy families from the 1970s and 1980s to the 1990s, the grievances of Hong Kong Island's wealthy families, the history of the struggles of tycoons, etc., etc.
But there are very few like "Thieves of Time".
Probably only the love scenes in "Thieves of Time" are somewhat similar to the love scenes in many early Hong Kong movies.
For example, the story of a poor boy falling in love with a rich man's daughter is a very silly plot in the eyes of many people of this era.
In fact, the love in "Thieves of Time" is indeed the most criticized point after "Thieves of Time" was released at the Venice Film Festival.
"The movie is very good and touching, but is the love story in it too long? Although the pictures are very beautiful and smell like postcards, the frog falls in love with the princess, the poor boy falls in love with the wealthy daughter, this kind of The scenes are as old as those in "Thieves of Time", which is really embarrassing to watch."
"The Luo family's family affection, brotherhood, and the spirit of always believing that it is difficult to get better every step of the way, really makes people unable to help but shed tears. After all, time is the same to everyone, and it is the biggest thief. But "Years" The love in "The Thief" seems to be a failure, but the whole movie takes up a lot of scenes. I don't understand why Director Gou wants to film it like this? Is it because he is married?"
"What really touched me in the film was family love. My father's hard work, my mother's care, the harmony between brothers, the support between husband and wife, and the deep love between father, son, mother and son. When the director created a full and full sense of love in these relationships, Sometimes, the cruel realities of life impact or even crush it. It makes us feel the helplessness and vulnerability of people in the face of life.
In contrast, the love in the film. Very simple and very pure. Although there is some romanticism and middle-class atmosphere, especially when photographing the huge contrast between families, it is too aesthetic. But if the director focuses on the impact of this contrast on the family and two people, there is a complete lack of beauty, even if that is reality. "
"Honestly, my review of "Thieves of Time" is: Although it is full of gore, it still made me cry!
Why do I say he's a bitch? This is the love between a rich girl and a poor boy. Although the poor boy is poor, he has great ambitions. He has good grades, plays guitar, runs and plays, and sings well. He is tenacious and progressive. The poor boy has some problems because of his poor family background. I retreated, and then I got a terminal illness or something. It felt very classic, and very familiar, but the gender was reversed.
It's really bloody, but I have to say that the pictures are very beautiful!
But the dog director is indeed a dog director, and he always makes people cry. He always understands how to resonate with us in different contexts.
Even though I'm not from Hong Kong, I still feel very immersed in it. This is a Hong Kong film. It presents the original appearance of Hong Kong in the 1960s. It took place in a concession area in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong Island, between three ordinary people from 10 years to 1977. In the story of my family, every character was vividly acted, as if I was immersed in the scene. Everything in front of it was warm and humane.
But when I saw the embarrassing scene where the male protagonist went to the female protagonist’s home, and the female protagonist refused to let the male protagonist put the fish he brought into their big fish tank, I felt so distressed when I saw the embarrassed expression on the male protagonist’s face. Later, my brother fell while running. I missed the championship, the family house was blown away by typhoons several times, my brother got a terminal illness, the hospital nurses were greedy for money, my parents sold their rings to buy blood, and my brother threw the things he stole into the sea for his brother, because grandma said If you are willing to give up all your most beloved things, throw them all into the sea of suffering, and fill the sea of suffering, you can reunite with your loved ones.
But no matter how he fills it out, the younger brother will never see his older brother again. I heard his howling and crying, and the more I watched, the sadder I became. I always thought that the protagonist wearing a halo would not die, but in the end, my brother faced the blackboard and counted 5.4.3.2.1 second by second. His life disappeared forever in this second. I couldn't help but burst into tears. Moreover, this drama also likes to echo back and forth in its filming techniques. The rainbow at the beginning and end, the cemetery from the past to the present, and the younger brother looking at the wall and thinking about his mistakes; the ending is hinted at from the beginning. My brother was buried in the cemetery mentioned at the beginning, and mentioned that he didn’t know what would be written on his tombstone in the future! "
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
"The movie is very good. The plain narration at the beginning of the movie and the slow flow of music make people calm down. I don't know if it's my own impetuosity, but I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw my brother at Fang Fei's house being at a loss and surprised. In short, it was a bit Embarrassing, you can’t get the so-called beauty of pure love at all. Some of the feelings are just bloody, bloody, bloody!
Fang Fei is pretty and has a sweet voice, but I still think it's ridiculous. I always feel that a movie like this shouldn't spend so much time describing such a clichéd love. "
Of course, although there are some such complaints, the ratings of "Thieves of Time" after the ban was lifted on the popular film review website are still quite high, and many people have given it high praise.
However, there are still many people who believe that the flaw of this movie lies in its "bloody love"!
Of course, there are those who complain, and there are definitely those who particularly like it.
"I like the love in "Thieves of Time". One of my views has always been: reality is cruel and difficult enough. When we appreciate works of art, why don't we look for something relatively gentle, beautiful and happy to appreciate?!
Maybe it’s because I have never experienced sweetness, so when I see sweet scenes, I don’t feel how fake or vulgar they are. That's fine, always have a sweet and romantic fantasy about love. "
"I really like the character Fang Fei. In such a film about ordinary life, the love story between the princess and the frog seems a bit bloody, but the director still managed to make people believe in its authenticity. Hong Kong Island and Hollywood Likewise, it is a place where miracles are often born. Although a girl pretends to be ignorant, it is a kind of deception, but isn't it also due to the love for the boy in her heart? "
"I don't know why there are so many people complaining about love, but isn't love always like this? To put it bluntly, Fang Fei is definitely the girl who ranks among the many romance movies I have watched. She Although she comes from a wealthy family, her love for Shinichi is extremely pure. She has a big fish tank at home, but she still pretends not to understand and asks Shinichi to accompany her to see the fish. Although it is a kind of deception, I believe it. That must be a good intention.
She didn't dislike the poor and loved the rich. What she liked was people like Jinyi. Even after knowing his family situation, she was only uneasy and apologetic. In the end, she came back, with that green kiss, and with Na Ti. The red bird in our hands makes us imagine that if Jinyi had not died, there might be another romantic and beautiful love story. "
