Gay, but thought provoking.
Just watched a depressing HK triad movie called 人海孤鸿, co-starring 莫少聪 and 刘德华.
Actually it was not that impressing, but some scenes left quite a deep impression on me.
1st scene:
It is 聪聪's wedding and he did not have enough money to pay for the dinner. Treated only 4 tables and he happened to be short of money for 2. Damn depressing.
Well what are brothers for? Andy conveniently robbed a guy to pay for the remaining expenses.
And they ended up in jail for that.
2nd scene:
While in jail, they were under 2 different and opposing gangs.
As luck would have it, they got subsequently chosen to fight each other to settle the gangs' dispute.
They got bruised and swollen, each beating the daylights out of each other.
As they sit down in their pathetic state after the fight, Andy offered his half smoked cigarette to 聪聪. And he accepted it as usual.
Sets me thinking. The things that we do not wish to do in life, yet forced upon us so cruelly sometimes.
Imagine beating your brother up.
3rd scene:
A particularly touching scene.
Andy was on his own deathbed.
Both of them were drowned by their own tears. Andy was putting his hand on 聪聪's cheeks and telling him how much he 'loves' him while the latter was holding on to Andy's hand tightly.
Gay, but touching.
As Andy finally breathed his last, Andy gave 聪聪 a death kiss and the latter hugged Andy.
Damn! True guys like me succumbing to gays?

Brotherly love is so hard to comprehend. I guess we prefer to think lesser and act what just comes to our mind.
