Chow Yun-fat The moment he lit up a cigarette in "A Better Tomorrow" also ignited my youth.

Yes, I clearly remember that after coming out of the video room, on the dazzling North Street, D suddenly put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Do you know? A change started to happen today."

"What change?" "

" We became brothers. "

" Brothers," D said, pointing to the not-so-long North Street. "This street will be ours from now on. "

...

Although, that street has never belonged to me. Passed by us, but D’s eyes were once so radiant.

It was the heyday of Hong Kong movies. Which girl could resist the nosebleeding Hua Tsai who rode a motorcycle in "If There's Love"? Which boy can't be crazy about Fa Ge who dances in a wheelchair in " Across the World "?

When the passion of youth gradually cooled down, and I suddenly realized that I could only rely on my own efforts in life, the TV series that gave me the greatest strength was "Beijing Man in New York".

In my rental house in Guanhutun , I drew strength from Wang Qiming's struggle over and over again, surviving on my initial salary of 80 yuan per week in Zhengzhou.

Those inspiring movies include "The Shawshank Redemption ", "Braveheart", " Life is Beautiful ", "Morty", " Alive ", "Million Dollar Baby", " "The Bridge", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Little Shoes", "Hibiscus", "Schindler's List", "Grand Central Station", "International Market", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "It's Sunny" ", and Stephen Chow shouted to the sea in "The King of Comedy": Work hard! Struggle...

A life with dreams cannot be defeated.

Why are Stephen Chow’s movies so popular among college students in the 1990s? Because they live in a society that is changing rapidly and moving forward so fast, there is no time to think about anything. They no longer have the ideals of the 1980s, nor the reality of the younger generation. Their lives need to be deconstructed, self-deprecating, and explained.

When you can't figure it out, when you have nowhere to go, run like Forrest Gump. You can't stop in life. Only by running can you discover new paths. In the year when

crossed the century, people were full of expectations for the future, but also a little uneasy. What will happen to the Y2K bug? Where do we come from? Where to go? What is the end of time?

Curiosity has taken over my movie list, including "E.T.", "2012", " The Sixth Sense ", " The Day After Tomorrow ", " Horror Cruise ", "The Prestige", " Source code ", "The Night the Comet Came", "Inception", "Interstellar", "Avatar"...

This world is magical enough, stay in awe, stay diverse, you can't be either/or, and you can't be too simplistic.

What makes me feel even more amazing is the complexity of human nature that I continue to realize as I grow older.

" Chungking Express ", " Ashes of Time ", " Apocalypse Now ", "Sideways", " Farewell My Concubine ", " Highland War ", "Rashomon" ", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Shoplifters", "The New World", "Our Fathers", "Saving Private Ryan", "War Horse", "Parasite", "Kill Bill", "Underground", " "Anyang Baby", "The Godfather", "Dogville", "Twelve Angry Men", "Eat Drink Man and Woman", "Eyes Wide Shut", "Witness for the Prosecution", "Beauty de Jour", "The Turin Horse", "Children of Rivers and Lakes", "Fargo", "Kang Rinpoche", "Ala Jiang Se"...

What puzzles me is how Japanese movies are compared with "Little Forest", "Seagull Canteen", " Eternal Sunset at Sanchome ", " Yokomichi Seinosuke ", " Kikujiro's Summer " such touching silly purity and cruelty like "The Evil" and "Blood of the Lone Wolf" Convert between?

After a long time, I dug out an old movie "Wreaths Under the Mountains".After watching it, I can’t help but marvel at how powerful our movies used to be!

When I reached middle age, I reread Lai Shengchuan 's " Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring " and suddenly realized that the true meaning of happiness is selflessness!

"When I ask what age we are today, I don't know if there were Han , no matter Wei or Jin."

Rabindranath Tagore said: One morning, I forgot all about yesterday. Since then, my steps have been light.

However, some past events are not as good as smoke. Who can forget them?
