Even ghosts are disgusting. Is it more pathetic? -Lao Li convenience store

Some people died at the age of 25 and were buried at the age of 75.

In recent years, the sense of disorientation of Hong Kong films has gradually declined, and there are fewer and fewer excellent films. People shouted, "Hong Kong films are dead, so burn paper in the north". For those who watched Hong Kong Jade TV and Hong Kong TV grow up, there is always a trace of inexplicable sadness.

I am glad that there is still a new generation of Hong Kong filmmakers who are holding their ground and innovating.

I am glad that I can understand Cantonese and didn't miss this excellent minority film.

Laoli convenience store

Lao Li, a foreign language, is one of the distinctive transliteration languages of Cantonese in Hong Kong and Guangdong. It comes from English Robby, which means robbery. So, the movie is simple and clear: convenience store robbery.

This is a cult film with Quentin's violent aesthetics. It is said to be a cult film. Personally, I think it is more appropriate to describe it as unreasonable.

This is a movie where you can't guess the story without seeing the ending. Lao Li, it is indeed robbery, but robbery does not only happen in real life. Ghosts rob strangers' bodies in order to be reborn.

At first, our male host Fei Qing sat on the lower bunk bed and ate instant noodles. On the bed, his eldest brother and a strange girl, gnome male-",separated by a curtain, his parents fight day and night. In the gloomy dozens of bungalows, it seems cramped and depressed. I am numb to this, but I have no ability to change the status quo. More importantly, men who have not changed their desires represent a new generation of abandoned youth in Hong Kong. They are alive, but not really alive. For example, at the beginning: "Bruce Lee died at the age of 32, which is a myth; I'm still alive at the age of 32. It's a joke. "... Anger is the last word that comes to mind after complicated feelings are mixed.

So, as long as it doesn't make me angry, it won't affect me. As long as you can drag out an ignoble existence, you can not make progress, fight or resist. He can continue to eat noodles in a crowded cage. "But this is a lazy mentality, not fighting against the surrounding environment, lowering the bottom line of your life until you meet the minimum requirements of life. Therefore, I can endure the shabby and chaotic family life environment, never consider changing, and gradually become a trivial and heartless person living at the bottom. There is a cry like "The city is fucking stuck".

Standing is hard but comfortable, lying is comfortable but hard.

As a result, our abandoned youth protagonist walked into this convenience store and changed his outlook on life.

So, on the same night, Fei Qing first met a clever salesgirl and a stingy convenience store owner, then an old man who was released from prison, then a schizophrenic magic policeman, then a sexy female doctor, then a mafia tycoon, then a failed grocery store owner, and finally a lesbian boyfriend of a salesgirl: behind everyone, there is a desperate story that is cornered, and an abnormal and ridiculous thing happened between them.

What happened here, the audience must not understand it in a common sense way. Everything that happened was abrupt and unreasonable: for example, the first paragraph was still in full swing, but the next moment they could sit at a table, smoke harmoniously and chat happily. So, just pour soda, peel melon seeds, don't think about anything, and let your brain fly wildly with the director. It is a mistake to watch and comment on this film with a conventional attitude.

In it, you can enjoy the elements of gun battles of the Hong Kong police, the erotic scenes of pornographic films, a little bit of Hong Kong-style horror, and most importantly, authentic Hong Kong Cantonese (you can't imagine how deeply children who grew up watching Jade TV in Hong Kong and local TV stations feel about this).

You never know who will kill you next second; You never know who will control the situation in the next moment; You'll never guess who will die next. Just like an actor improvising. Anyone who doesn't like it will be shot in the head, no nonsense.

However, the ending became unexpected. Everyone in the shop is dead, except the protagonist Fei Qing who is still alive. What they do is that ghosts try to rob the body of the living: Lao Li, it turns out that ghosts can also rob the body.

Ironically, in the end, all ghosts don't like the protagonist's body for various reasons: strangers don't like it, even ghosts don't like it. What could be more desperate than this?

Experienced: life, nobody cares; Death, the process of ghost disgust. The protagonist realized the meaning of life and wanted to give himself a chance to be born again. Finally, he walked out of the convenience store after the explosion. The ruins behind him may be his so-called values, but they have been destroyed. After all, he must rebuild a different world.

This is also a new life of surrealism. Although it was thick with chicken soup, I drank it all without hesitation. Sometimes we hear a lot of truth, but we still can't live for the rest of our lives. It's not that we don't understand, but that we can't bear to live in the past. And when one day, something happened, something that made people suddenly realize, the original values collapsed and new values were being shaped-we called it rebirth.

What will happen next? Who knows? But this bad thing has come, and it will definitely be good in the future.
