When it comes to the "forbidden film" played by Tony Leung, if you can only think of "Lust", that cliff is not a real old driver.
Once won the Golden Lion Award for the best film at the 52nd Venice Film Festival in 1995 Vietnam forbidden film Tricycle Driver , get to know.
As the name implies, the story of this film revolves around a coachman.
The rickshaw driver is 18 years old and has no father or mother. He can only ride a rented tricycle to earn some hard money. In short, he is a microcosm of the bottom people in Vietnam.
In a word, this time it's not that I'm lazy and don't write character names and have to give others nicknames. Everyone in this film has no name, including Tony Leung.
The coachman doesn't want to change his fate, but he needs money to do anything. What should he do?
He tried to borrow money from the bank. There is no doubt that the bank would not lend money to such a destitute person.
It may be that fate, in order to punish him for overestimation, has brought a bad luck - his tricycle has been stolen.
His mother died early in childbirth, and his father died in a car accident. Only a young grandpa usually did odd jobs to make money and subsidize his family. Nobody could help him.
So he found the owner of his car and wanted to find a way out.
The landlady said indifferently: OK, do something for the gang.
It turns out that there is also a gang behind the landlady.
Children from poor families often make mistakes in one step and make lifelong mistakes. From playing tricks to drug trafficking and killing, the rickshaw driver gradually degenerated into a real gangster.
On the way of the rickshaw driver's degeneration, there is another woman - his sister.
How can there be an egg under the nest? Under the threat of fate, the rickshaw driver degenerated and worked for the gang, while the sister degenerated and sold herself for the gang.
Leung Chiu wai plays the role of a poet who pimps brothels.
The poet has some romantic flavor. He loves his sister while entangled with various women (including the proprietress).
But this love was not enough to stop him from interacting with other women, nor did it stop him from sending his sister to the bed of one guest after another.
There are many salty and wet scenes in the film.
There is peeping (the poet can't describe his peeping sister and guests)
Violence (full output of poets)
And in-depth depiction of the abnormal demands of the clients
I won't describe the following two stills. I understand everything
The whole film has an enigmatic temperament. The violent and bloody emotion is mixed with strange beauty, which is unpredictable.
For example, the story of the coachman escaping from the chase and jumping into the cesspit has a large and uncomfortable close-up (maggots in his mouth).
For example, ask the driver to swallow goldfish and chew geckos.
For example, the feature of a large number of poets smoking.
Another example is the warm interaction between the poet and his sister.
To sum up, the coachman is mainly responsible for bloody violence and occasionally disgusting; Sister and poet are mainly responsible for Y's disorderly, salty and wet, and occasionally beautiful and romantic. As netizens said:
"It's really strange to be able to experience so many beautiful moments in the stories of corruption, violence, drugs and death."
What kind of end will people who are intertwined with fate come to? Generally, I don't like complete spoilers of such films. Friends who are interested in the next story can explore it in person.
(Believe me, it's worth watching this film even if it's just for the following scenes ↓)
Finally, add some background knowledge.
The director of this film has an impressive name, Chen Yingxiong He is French Vietnamese, and also the legendary "genius director".
That's the one Her debut won the international award 's genius——
↑ The Taste of Green Papaya, Chen Yingxiong's debut work, shows the living conditions of Vietnamese women and the tranquil style of Saigon, Vietnam. It not only won the nomination of Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, but also directly included the Cannes Film Festival Golden Camera Award.
This Tricycle Driver, which won the Golden Lion Award, is his second work.
By the way, why would a French Vietnamese director find Tony Leung?
It is said that it is because Chen Yingxiong has searched all over Vietnam, but has not found a suitable actor to play the role of poet. Later, he saw Liang Chaowei in the Sad City directed by Hou Xiaoxian (It is also an award-winning work of the Golden Lion Award) I felt that he was a living poet, so I sincerely invited him to play.
As for how sincere he is, you can see the final number of Liang Chaowei's lines——
Because of the language barrier, the director deleted a lot of lines for him, so the poet hardly spoke in the film. Finally, a lot of intense emotions belonging to the poet are basically output by Liang Chaowei through "smoke"
