Beijing in February is a city at 0°C, in theaters, 10 superstars, 5 couples, romances that are at 45°C will get shown. This movie done for Valentine's Day, "Hot Summer Days" is a very rare romantic flick, simple, hot, relaxing, pure love.... everything that a romantic movie should have, it has it all, and also has freshness that is also rare for artistic movies.A few pairs of city people that are entangled by love, loving despite sweating profusely. But passion cannot only be with words and no real action, let's see the 5 kinds of love they have, and what were the motives that drove to those loves ?
Angel loves Beauty Love
Nick Tse and DaS
Their love : an air conditionner repair boy meets a mysterious girl who was racing on a motorbike. The girl again and again provokes him, but he only rides a scooter, so everytime she escapes, he swears that one day he'll get her. To make his scooter into a war machine, he puts himself on the web for auction, the response is so good he can't believe it. And the mysterious girl coming every night for races, actually that was to help peole who are about to sie to fulfill their wishes.
They experienced it that way : that is a classic "Angel loves Beauty" story, it's only that the angel DaS is a rebellious girl with tattoes, heavy bike, provocations... But no matter what clothes she wears, her personality is still that shiny.
And Nick's love for her is just like this Yeat's poem : 最初爱她的美貌，走近后，慢慢爱上她那朝圣者的灵魂 At first falling in love with her beauty, then after getting near, falling in love with her saint like soul, falling in love with her beauty as she had contracteda terminal disease. Actions, is very apparent in this love, no matter if it is actions that one has for the other, like Nick as DaS is about to die helps her to fulfill her wish, or actions that can irradiate such as DaS halping those sick people, tat can touch peole universally. But talking about pure love a terminal disease is an idea that should be used the least the better.
Twisted cook and artistic girl Love
Daniel Wu and Vivian HSu
Their Love : In a sushi restaurant, a sushi master and a female customer look at a sushi and have so many unspoken words, and have difficulties to express themselves. They are an old pair of lovers, the male was an apprentice at a restaurant, who left his lover for his ideal, going to Japan to learn gastronomy. The female travelledaround the world, and would send menus from places far away for her lover. After many years, the male has successfully graduated and came back, owning his own restaurant, but when he faces the female again, because "he only graduated from elementary school" he once again rejects her love.
They experienced it like that : This love was more twisted. Clearly there is love but because of pride, inferiority complex, vanity and other feelings, shoving the loved one more and more far away. And about those twisted lover, this girl who likes to travel has an idea : after getting rejected at their first reunion, she stars to disappear, from the prey she becomes the hunter. This love strategy is from throwing herself to him to play cat and mouse. The twisted male really does surrender, after she doesn't pick up a call, he calls a second time, a third time, a 176th time... This tactic can only be used if you are confident enough in the first place, it only works if you are the one he loves. Or else it isn't cat and mouse but getting the further you go the better.
Innocent cinderella and penniless boy Love
Jin Bo Ran and Angela Baby
Their love : in a market next to a factory, a boy bets with his boss, he will successfully chase the most beautiful girl in the factory. The girl pestered by the boy can only play with him, telling him that if he can stand outside the factory for 100 days she'll agree to date him. But when the factory boss starts to woo her, the girl is tormented, how to choose between bread and love ? For the 100 hottest days of history, the boys stands 99 days, on the last one, he chooses to leave his hometown to try to make it in the city.
They experienced it that way : Actually the boy who had a clean family background innocent love can be said as not containing any skill or technique, just that he has great stamina, he could go through hardship, sweat hard to prove that human can win over fate, no matter if you want me or not, I want you. In this love story, the boy, Jin Bo Ran had it the hardest ..... had to kneel down under the hot sun. But this kind of performance and effort from the utility angle is the most useless... you getting hot to death can bring her happiness ?! Those were only a test for love, if you pass, you can have a ticket in.
Not dead after revelation Love
Jacky Cheung and Rene Liu
Their Love : Shen Zhen spiritless female pianist and actress Rene Liu and HongKong truck driver Jacky Cheung both have a heat stroke at the same time, lying in the hospital, because of a wrongly sent SMS, they get in contact. He says he is a ferrari racer, she says she is a piano performer. Love get warmer and warmer, when the fake world's fuse is burned up, their first encounter in the real world is coming. But when they finally unveiled each other's real faces, it didn't die after the revelations, the 2 who share the same downhill, laughed their grudges off.
They experienced it that way : First, massage girl Rene made the most important move in their relationship : seduction ! After the 2 realised they wrongly sent SMS to each other, she attacked first, asking to chat. Then, when realising that Jacky was tormented because his daughter didn't like to practice piano, she used her own professionalism to encourage him gently. And when the truck driver Jacky hears that the pianist wants an air conditionner, he bought a pink second hand one as a meeting present, acting out a scene with him offering an air conditionner from a long distance.
The love that didn't die because of the revelations can only be seen in movies. It is a dream built in the harsh reality, but not everyone has the courage to return back from beautiful dreams to reality.
Puzzling cursed Love
Duan Yi Hong, Fu Xin Bo
They didn't really have any love : Bei Jing's renowed photograph who, because he fired a model that gets called blind by her. Who knew that the next day, he really got blind. His apprentice tells him " Maybe that model's curse became true." The 2 start to look for the model who dissapeared after getting fired.....
The way they did it : Ti be honest, this staory was in
But, with Duan Yi Hong's crazyness in the movie, his nervous performance made people feel that in Love, getting away from those sensitive, arrogant artists who don't know how to open the door to their inner world, is a good thing for you.
