Chapter 893: It didnt wash away the stains, but it moved people with the most natural calmness!
When the movie ended, the whole theater was quiet for a long time before everyone stood up and applauded.
The story told in "Thieves of Time" is really special to those in the Hong Kong film industry.
Younger people may not have experienced this era, but they have more or less heard their parents talk about the people and things of that era.
"Bah, bang, bang!" The applause thundered and lasted for a long time!
Perhaps this movie may be good for people outside Hong Kong Island, but it is difficult for people like them to have such a huge feeling.
It can almost be said that each of these special audiences present today can find their own memories of the past in "Thieves of Time".
For example, Chen Weijie's eyes were swollen from crying, such as Luo Xian, Fang Zhisheng and others, not to mention Meng Qiguang.
At this time, Mr. Meng Qiguang had tears streaming down his face, but he kept clapping his hands.
The reason why Chen Weijie touches me is because he is the kind of person who has worked hard to climb up from the bottom of Hong Kong society. There are many stars like Chen Weijie in Hong Kong, although the era they live in is much smaller than that of the 1960s in the movie.
Times were better, but at the same time, Hong Kong Island at that time also had too many dark sides.
Chen Weijie once had a falling out with Hong Kong Island Television because he was dissatisfied with the prostitution contract of Hong Kong Island Television. As a result, he was banned and put in cold storage for more than a year. During that year, he was unemployed and even depressed for a time.
And Chen Weijie is very hardworking, or in other words many old Hong Kong people are very hardworking. His mother has to work six jobs a day to support the family and raise Chen Weijie and his brothers and sisters. It is not easy for Chen Weijie to achieve success.
, but unfortunately his mother died early due to overwork.
Therefore, watching this movie, he had too many feelings and empathy.
"The shots are so good. One step is difficult, one step is good, another step is difficult, and one step is good!" Chen Weijie exclaimed with great emotion.
"Yes, this is not only Mrs. Luo's philosophy as a person, but also the spiritual philosophy of Hong Kong people in that era." Luo Xian on the side also nodded.
In fact, many people in the film industry have similar family environments and have encountered many life changes. Many people who have been through the old days of Hong Kong Island will be more touched by this movie.
Of course, the movie cannot be perfect, but for them, it is a good enough movie in the "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" series.
Nowadays, movies like this are not unique, but they are indeed rare.
In the commercial era, movies have always been a commodity. In the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies, there might be people who would make some movies similar to Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong Island, but in today’s era, it’s not easy to shoot such movies set in the 1960s and 1970s on Hong Kong Island.
Movies about ordinary poor families rarely sell well, so naturally, such movies are even more rare.
The movie screening is over.
Many reporters outside were waiting, because the film was not being screened publicly, so although some film critics were present, they would certainly not post reviews like other film screenings.
But for this movie, let’s not talk about the mainland for the moment. It is definitely the kind of movie that has received overwhelming attention on Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, many reporters stayed outside. Although the movie is still a long time away from release, the public is still very curious and paying attention to the movie.
For this reason, when the screening was over, these Hong Kong filmmakers walked out of the theater.
Many reporters couldn't help but gathered around him.
"Weijie, how about "Thieves of Time"? Is it good?"
Although Li Yi didn't want to promote the movie so early, he didn't say anything about keeping it secret.
So Chen Weijie is still willing to answer questions, and as long as it doesn't involve spoilers, it doesn't hurt.
"It's great. You can tell just by looking at my eyes. Director Li has made another great movie. I think this movie is definitely a classic for any Hong Kong Islander.
!" This evaluation is not a low one.
"Can you briefly tell me what's so good about the movie?" the reporter asked again.
"I can only say that there is always something about this movie that makes me want to cry. I can't help but think of my parents, my mother, my brothers and sisters..."
"Everyone has a memory that has been stolen by the years. So many tears were shed, but I didn't feel any emotion at all. Although the pace was slow, it was not trivial. This touching moment was extremely natural, real and simple. It's difficult to take a step,
One step is better. One step is difficult, one step is better."
Other actors and filmmakers who watched the movie also briefly answered questions from the media.
"This movie shows the tropical fish and the deep-water walk of the 1960s through a glass layer. The most interesting thing is the emotion."
"Everyone's eyes are red. This movie made Hong Kong people cry!"
"It doesn't wash away the stains, but it moves people with the most natural calmness!"
"The Thief of Time steals years and leaves behind life. The mediocre life of a family reflects the turmoil of a society!"
"One step is difficult, but one step is better; one step is difficult, and one step is better. As long as you don't give up, you can always see the rainbow through the clouds."
"It's very dull and realistic, but full of warmth and touching."
Just these simple answers made people even more crazy, because when asked about the plot of the movie, everyone chose to remain silent.
But this makes these media reporters more and more curious, because the more so, they know that after the report is published, all the public will also become more and more curious and want to see this movie.
Although these people may have used filters to watch this movie and evaluate it, so many people praised it unanimously. Among them, there are some people who usually like to be unique, but they also
’s evaluation of this movie is very high, which itself speaks volumes.
Sure enough, when the media reported on this special screening, this special group of viewers commented on the film.
Many Hong Kong movie fans have left messages online.
“I really want to see this movie soon!”
"So many people are crying and their eyes are swollen. The movie must be very good. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why not just show it?"
"I went home specifically to ask my dad what it was like in the 1960s. After listening to my dad talk a lot, I am looking forward to the movie more and more, but I have to wait a long time to see it!"
"Why do we have to wait until after the Venice Film Festival to release it? I really want to see it now!"
However, what Li Yi didn't expect was that the influence of this special screening would be so great.
At the same time, Li Yi also underestimated his own influence.
At first, only Hong Kong Island movie fans expressed their expectations for this movie, but soon it spread to the mainland. After all, Li Yi is not only a Hong Kong Island filmmaker, but also a Chinese film director.
There are countless times more movie fans in the mainland than in Hong Kong Island.
When the media reported one after another about the reactions of those Hong Kong film-makers after the special screening, and when everyone praised the film with red eyes, many movie fans could not sit still.
