《阿飛正傳》 Days Of Being Wild (1990)
Synopsis:
The movie is set in Hong Kong and the Philippines in 1960. Yuddy, or ‘York’ in English (Leslie Cheung), was a playboy in Hong Kong and was well-known for stealing girls’ hearts and breaking them as is the usual theme for movies with a dashing and charismatic male lead. His first victim is Li Zhen (Maggie Cheung) who suffered emotional and mental depression as a result of Yuddy’s wayward attitude. Li Zhen eventually seeks much-needed solace from a sympathetic cop named Tide (Andy Lau). Their near-romance was often hinted at although it never materialised.
York has forgotten his fling with the unassuming and shy Li Zhen and has set his attentions to a vivacious cabaret dancer played by Carina Lau who was also secretly loved by Zeb (Jacky Cheung). Unsurprisingly, York dumps her too and begins a period of self-destruction. It later becomes evident that York’s inability to commit and his instinct for romantic cruelty derives from conflicting feelings about his adoptive mother who is a former prostitute, played by Rebecca Pan; and his biological mother, a Filipino aristocrat.
