Love fairy tales in Xanadu
Sunset in Paris contains eight new songs of Leslie Cheung's year: Farewell, Missing You, Eccentricity, Not Needing Too Much, A Lamp Moth, Feelings Stinging, Favorite and Starting from scratch, among which three were composed by him and four were masterpieces that won the Golden Melody Award. The sequence of songs roughly shows the plot: thoughts after parting-feelings that should not have happened-reckless love-conflicts and troubles-choices and decisions-all start over. Leslie, the leading actor played by Leslie Cheung, is a drama director with a successful career and a happy love. However, when he went to France for further study, he fell in love with a stray painter he knew and was separated by his fiancee who heard the news. Finally, the truth came out and Leslie left alone. "Resentment remains immortal, daughter still smiles smartly, and myriad grievances are wrinkled like a lake. I have been loved and hurt, and you have been loved and hurt, so that I can meet you again ... "Leslie Cheung has already sung the helplessness of love in his songs. When Leslie was in Hong Kong, she thought Maggie was his world, and fate made him meet a more lovely and tacit Sherry. Will he be loyal to Maggie all his life? It's not Shirley's fault that she fell in love with this handsome man. In the face of Maggie's threat, does she have the right to insist? Maggie regards Leslie as all she has and keeps him around at all costs. Is it worthy of sympathy? ..... There is no fixed number of emotions. Too many right people meet at the wrong time, but what they meet at the right time is not necessarily the person in their own lives. The meeting of these three people may be just a joke of fate. How can you tell right from wrong and leave only a sigh in the face of impermanence?
Cherie Chung played the wandering painter Shirley when she was 24 years old. She is as beautiful as flowers and jade and as beautiful as a fairy, and no one can ignore that dazzling style. Leslie, love at first sight is very natural. In the film, she has a mass of curly hair, which is sometimes spread out, sometimes rolled up, sometimes paired with a simple long skirt, and sometimes dressed in a formal evening dress ... Whether Zhan Yan smiles in a telephone booth or finds herself unhappy after getting up in the morning, she has different beauty. Maggie Cheung is 23 years old. She is changing from a vase to a performing star. Playing Leslie's fiancee Maggie in the film is probably the only role she has played with some negative colors for many years. The two heroines are both first-line stars in Xiuwaihuizhong, and several opposite plays in the film are very exciting. On the contrary, John Woo, an adult, was a guest star of Uncle Maggie, who shocked the world and put on a play, which was really lacking.
Leslie Cheung is thirty-three years old this year. After 13 years in the entertainment circle, I look a little vicissitudes, and my appearance is still pure. The "duck tail" hairstyle designed by himself and popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong has added a bit of innocence to him, but the elegance and composure in his temperament have gradually dispersed. Leslie, played by him in the film, is "heartbroken" as the saying goes. She is always struggling alone, and she plays several important emotional turning points well. There is no lack of perseverance after breaking up with his girlfriend, which was not found in his previous formal movies. Beautiful music, gorgeous background, handsome young people and gentle girls, such a story really shouldn't end in tragedy. Looking back at Leslie's last look in the sunset, I believe many viewers are wondering: will he meet that beloved person at the next corner?
