The Ferry Man came to an end a few years ago, and there are different opinions about it. Some people feel into their hearts after reading it, bitter but vaguely sweet, while others just see a pot of boiled water, which is boring, but it doesn't prevent most people from liking it. The strong retro colors and sentimental golden songs are full of Wong Kar-wai feelings, but the warm story of chicken soup is very similar.
Although the film's evaluation is polarized, it is still with the high style of Wong Kar-wai label, which can't be underestimated. Cantonese is mixed with standard Mandarin, which is funny like a buffoon, but it won't prevent the audience from entering the plot every minute. The plot is sometimes funny and sometimes moving, which makes you feel the ice and fire. Apart from these, the charm interpretation of several young male gods in the film has also earned the audience's attention.
The whole movie runs through three emotional clues, which are very intriguing. The lost love between Chen and He Muzi, the regretful love between Guan Chun and Mao Mao, and the hopeless love between Ma Li and Xiaoyu seem to be three sad loves, but they have made the plot of the whole movie. Chen can't walk away from the lost love, so he chooses to ferry himself to save himself. Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the old male god, interprets this character with a unique ghost horse, and Xiaoyu is willing to do it.
Ten years is a big stage of life, but this film chooses ten years as the time span. In the movie "The Ferry Man", saving others is only for ferrying themselves, so that they can get rid of the shackles of the mind, get rid of all kinds of spiritual difficulties and get the sublimation of their inner world. This is the real meaning of the ferryman.
The film "The Ferry Man" interprets the warm story like chicken soup in its unique way, trying to make everyone warm in this slightly cold world, so it is still worth seeing, shocking enough and enough.
