"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 the police and bandits of Hong Kong Island, the 70s and 80s to the 90s, the Hong Kong Island societies, the Hong Kong police, the grievances of the Hong Kong Island wealthy families, the struggles of the 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" was indeed the most criticized aspect 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 moved me in the film was family love. My father's hard work, my mother's hard work, the harmony between brothers, the support between husband and wife, and the deep love between father, son, mother and son. When the director created the full 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 comparison, the love in the film is very simple and pure. Although there is some romanticism and middle-class atmosphere, especially when the huge contrast between families is photographed, it is too aesthetic. But if the director focuses on the impact of this contrast on the family,
With the influence of 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 blood, it is still a movie that made me burst into tears!
Why do I say he is 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 and can play guitar, run and play, and can sing 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 am 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 happened between three ordinary people in a concession area in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong Island from 1967 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 house, 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 was terminally ill, 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 I fill it in, the younger brother will never see his older brother again. I heard his howling cry, and the more I watched, the sadder I became. I always thought that the protagonist with a halo would not die, but in the end the younger brother faced the blackboard 5.4
.3.2.1 Counting seconds by seconds, my brother’s 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 the filming techniques, from the beginning to the end.
The rainbow, the cemetery from the past to the present, and the younger brother's reflection on the wall; the ending was hinted at at the beginning. The elder 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 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 must be 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 think they are false or vulgar. That’s fine, I 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 often occur. Although a girl pretends to be ignorant, it is a kind of deception, but isn't it also stemming from 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 high 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 Jin Yi had not died, there might be another romantic and beautiful love story."
