Chen Jingning thought about it for a long time and read many comments from netizens before starting to write this film review.
Although she told Liu Fei that she wanted to write about love, she didn't just write about love.
""The Thief of Time" - the deepest love is hidden in the details!"
This is the title she gave to this review.
"The rich "Hong Kong flavor" that is ubiquitous in "Thieves of Time" and the past events of the 1960s in the flow of light and shadow can not only touch the people of Hong Kong Island, but also touch you and me who are far away from the 1960s.
There are many factors that moved me in "Thieves of Time". There is a family's family dependence on each other, there is also young and innocent love, and especially because of their firm belief in never giving up hope in the wind and rain. One of the scenes that impressed me the most was at 23 minutes into the film, when my mother went to collect clothes, she was so painful by two corns on her feet that she couldn't walk, so she could only sit down and rest for a while.
At this time, my father, who was making leather shoes under the dim light, hurried over. He slowly squatted down, put his mother's feet on his thighs, and carefully squeezed her corns for fear of hurting her mother. While helping her mother wink her eyes, she also told jokes and praised her mother as the most beautiful girl on the street, successfully diverting her mother's attention and alleviating her pain. Of course, this is also a profile of them actively facing the setbacks of life, always optimistic, and loving life.
This is love! The deepest love is never just words. If it is just verbal, it cannot be called true love. That kind of love is too superficial, too shallow, and can only confuse you for a while, but cannot be profound or lasting. Just like a father loves his mother, he doesn't use sweet words, he cares for her silently in his own way. He secretly carried his mother on his back and worked day and night to make a pair of leather shoes for her. They used the best material - lambskin to make the surface. The shoes had thin leather soles with double thickening on the inside. The design of the hidden foot line made the footsteps more graceful. It is also decorated with two small flowers, and the center of the flower is specially hollowed out to allow mother's corns to breathe.
This way, my mother won’t have sore feet when walking up the steep and long slope when she goes to the hospital to visit her brother. All of my father's love for my mother was devoted to this pair of shoes, and even the smallest parts were treated with great care, taking into consideration all aspects. What a delicate soul it is to be so considerate.
And when the father pawned the ring in order to inject the freshest blood into his brother, the mother grabbed the father's empty finger and choked with tears. This silent sadness was very touching, and it reflected the sincere feelings between them.
Although this film, like other similar films, is also about looking back on the past, feeling about family ties, and the emotions of the unfinished passage of time still lingering in my heart, I never shed tears after watching the entire film, because this film The film is always waiting for a melancholy hope. It does not magnify the sadness, but allows us to see the hope of life in desperate situations.
In an ordinary life, we, ordinary people, will be very happy if we maintain a sincere relationship. Although they are very poor, they can't even satisfy their younger brother's desire to eat a whole box of double yolk and white lotus seed mooncakes by himself; although they are very poor, their brother feels inferior after visiting the mansion of the girl he likes; even though they are very poor, , the whole family's life was stretched thin, and they had no extra savings. But they are not poor in spirit. They are a harmonious family. Mom and dad stay together forever, older brothers and younger brothers love each other, and the neighbors help each other and get along harmoniously. Everyone has their own destiny, and their wealth is different, but poverty does not necessarily mean misfortune. The maintenance of emotions is the key to happiness.
Finally, let’s talk about the controversial love.
I don’t know when it started, but whenever they see love, people will always use one word to describe it: “bloody”!
The love between childhood sweethearts is like this, the love between two lovers is like this, the secret love is like this, the love is like this, the rich daughter and the poor boy are like this, and the well-matched couple run in both directions!
But time has stolen many things, including life, and of course love.
Life without love must be incomplete.
It is natural for Jinyi and Fangfei to fall in love. Jinyi is a handsome boy with good academic performance and a shy boy. I think such a boy will attract girls in any school, right?
Fangfei fell in love with Jinyi, not because of family conditions, but because Jinyi was a person worthy of her liking. Just like many of us, wasn't our first love like this?
Fangfei didn't know Jinyi's family background, otherwise she wouldn't have asked questions like "Does your mother like music?" When Fang Fei asked this question, I felt sincerely embarrassed for Luo Jinyi... But whether Jinyi introduced her to any fish or showed her the gold medal. Fang Fei would politely say "so beautiful". In fact, Fang Fei's family has many beautiful fish... She is indeed a well-educated girl.
She doesn't have the arrogance of a rich girl. On the contrary, she is gentle, kind, and knows how to take care of the feelings of the boy she likes.
We only saw Jin Yi’s embarrassment when he visited Fang Fei’s home, but we ignored that Fang Fei didn’t want to enter the house at first, and when Jin Yi saw the big fish tank, she was actually extremely worried because she Knowing that his lies have been exposed.
Fang Fei is undoubtedly fair, rich and beautiful, but she is generous, considerate, and does not have any of the bad habits of a young lady. I ask, how can Jin Yi not fall in love with such a girl?
She will neither persuade her family to accept Jin Yi like a commercial soap film, nor will she break up with her family like a revolutionary movie, but she is considerate, kind, and well-educated, and tries her best to protect her brother's sensitive and inferior heart. This tragedy was performed gracefully and gracefully.
She never gave up on this relationship. Even if she went overseas, she still longed to keep in touch with Jinyi. These were all choices she made after she understood the family differences between the two parties.
Many people say hypocritically that this is ridiculous, but if you were Jin Yi, would you not be tempted when you met such a girl?
Fang Fei's return was not because she knew Jin was terminally ill. I think this is the best arrangement.
Her return was purely due to emotional longing. She wanted to separate for a better reunion. In the beginning, the relationship between her and Jinyi was always in a hazy stage, but when she came back again, But she took the initiative and threw herself into Jin Yi's arms, kissed him, and said she would come over to accompany him every day!
Correct
Her love was not due to sympathy, because she had no idea that Jin Yi was terminally ill and only thought it was anemia. She went to buy a red bird for Jin Yi and said that some things would never be forgotten in her lifetime. This was actually her way of expressing herself. She is willing to make changes for Jin Yi. Before, Jin Yi could not integrate into her family, but now she takes the initiative to integrate into Jin Yi's life. How could Jinyi not love such a girl? How can you not regret it?
There are thousands of girls named Fangfei, but I still like the combination of these two words.
The love between Luo Jinyi and Fangfei is a very beautiful first love. It's as beautiful as the rose Fang Fei gave to Jin Yi, even though it was stained with Jin Yi's blood and turned bright red. "
PS: Fang Fei’s Mandarin dubbing voice is so lovely!
