Directed by Daniel Lee, Hongkong 1999.Last week, I saw the film; Happy Together by Wang Kar-wai, then I became too much attracted
by Leslie Cheung.
He committed the suicide 3-4 years agon on April Fool's day in HongKong.
At that time, I was such slightly shocked then I didn't realise how the great actor he was while
he was being alive.
So from that time; I saw Happy Together, I have become crazy to search his video clips and the movie which he was on. Then finally I found this movie then watched it 3 times already.
-Plot-
Simply it is about Love.
To be a bit more specified, it is a bit tragic love story crossed the borders with some thrilled action pictures on the film. ah,, and I think it could be explained as sort of National movie as well; Back ground of the movie is in Hongkong.
A Japanese girl (Hitomi) had such a nice relationship with her fiancee in Japan, and they promised to get marry soon and moved to hongkong to live on.
However her fiancee (Tasuya) was killed by the car accient; personally it was a bit weird, he made the mistake by himself to grasp the mobile phone on the back seat in the car while he was driving on the road anyway.
Unfortunately, she lost her fiancee, then such got stucked in the memories of him after she
was soley survived from the accident. Then she flew over to Hongkong to step on his previous
life in the new place by herself.
Very very cinematically the man; Kar-bo was turned up infront of the lift in the hotel then she
was being malfunction temporarily to just stare at him due to his appreance is exactly ressemble of her previous fiancee. But Kar-bo is another person, not her
fiancee, and more dramatically he was the undercover spy to dig out the secrets and the hide
finances etc of the mafias in Hongkong.
Another Love story between Kar-bo and Hitomi was films on in the movie.
-Opinion-
I guess the age of Leslie Cheung was nearly 45 at that time in 1999 when he was in the movie.
But looks gorgeus, still so attractive.
Even though he acted the solitary person as the spy and also very violent and blunt, but his own
characters; lovely, cuteness was not gone at all in any movie he was performed.
Plus, very modernised and priceless places in Hong Kong as well. It was another impact to make
the movie much more sophisticated in terms of aura.
Even though we can't see the new movie which Leslie is going to be performed.
But his left works were such a gracious and treasurable to keep watching again and again.
Well, the movie as itself was not that fresh something very revolutionary in terms of artisitic
aspects etc, but the attraction of two actors, expecailly Leslie Cheung,, the impact of him was
so huge and gigantic to spread on the film.
