Carmen Mong Kok: Movie poster
"Carmen Mong Kok" tells a sad story.
Hua Ge 's (Andy Lau)'s distant cousin Ah Ling (Maggie Cheung) came to Mong Kok to see a doctor and stayed at Hua Ge's house. Hua Ge is an ancient puzzle boy, who has been mixing with his grandfather since he was a child, and his income is barely enough to survive. He has a little brother named Fly (Jacky Cheung), who is arrogant and has no one in sight. But Hua Ge regarded him as his own, and treated him better than himself. The fly has courage and strategy, always causing trouble for Hua Ge, and every time Hua Ge wants to change himself, he is dragged into right and wrong by the fly. In the process, Ah E and Hua Ge developed feelings and finally decided to live a good life. The pain of the fly's life without glory makes him decide to pursue the short highlight moment of life with death, in order to save the fly, Hua Ge is once again deeply involved in it, and eventually dies with the fly in the gun.
Carmen Mong Kok: Stills
The three main characters of Carmen in Mong Kok are Hua Ge, Black Fly and Ah E, of course, even in gangster films, there will be a worse person among the bad guys: Tony, played by Wan Zi Liang, is the same big brother as Hua Ge, but on the surface it seems to be stronger than Hua Ge.
Jacky Cheung played by the little brother black fly in the film is a hateful and angry and pitiful role, in the film he is considered a "low-level character" not only by others "look down" even he himself also looks down on himself, "the heart is higher than the sky" but "life is thinner than paper" In order to get rid of poverty and get rich, the black fly does things again and again. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole film is a black fly setting a trap for Hua Ge and luring the "simple" Hua Ge to the road of death with him. In this typical gangster film, the cousin A'e played by Maggie Cheung borrowed from Hua Ge's house because of illness, thus achieving a romantic and poignant relationship.
This film is really a complete story, compared to the fragmented plot of Ah Fei's biography in the Chongqing forest, the protagonist does not know the state of life of this night, Mong Kok Carmen from the beginning of Ah E's intervention in Hua Ge's life to the end of Hua Ge's exit from Ah E's life, is a complete timeline.
Although Andy Lau is a small in the movie, but Andy Lau is actually a very kind person at heart, the movie Andy Lau has a girlfriend who works in the dance hall, but this ex-girlfriend left Andy Lau and married others, in a rain, Andy Lau met his ex-girlfriend, saw that his ex-girlfriend has been married and pregnant, although Andy Lau took out a cigarette, but did not light the cigarette, this small action can see Andy Lau's inner kindness.
Maggie Cheung's performance in "Carmen in Mong Kok" has a shocking effect because of nature, and she will take me as soon as she appears
Instantly captured, "There's cooked rice in the kitchen, and I've bought a couple of cups, and I know it won't be long before it's going to be broken, so I secretly hid one, and one day when you need that cup, give me a call and I'll tell you where to put it." She was like this transparent cup of water, illuminating Ah Hua's dark world step by step, when she took off her mask and drank medicine, when she waited quietly on Lantau Island, when she ran to the dock, when she bent down to look at the fast-closing gate, when she hesitated and turned to walk up the stairs, when she said "you don't say twice and I will believe"...
