香港回归20周年：经典港片回顾

A Chinese Odyssey 《大话西游》（1995）

“If I had to set an expiry date to my love, let it be 10,000 years.”
“如果要在这份爱前面加一个期限，我希望是：一万年。”

From the genius casting of the irreverent Chow as the Monkey King to the masterstroke of letting Buddhist monk Tang Xuanzang burst into The Platters' Only You, Lau's wildly imaginative Journey to the West adaptation is deservedly recognized for its sublime wackiness. Yet beneath all the time-travelling and supernatural slapstick of this postmodern two-parter is a traditional love story so cheesy it's actually romantic. Also featuring the now-customary Wong Kar-wai spoofs.
玩世不恭的周星驰就是孙悟空的最佳人选，而唐玄奘突然唱起五黑宝合唱团的《Only You》简直是神来之笔。这部后现代主义风格电影分为上下两集。刘镇伟对《西游记》的改编天马行空，荒诞至极。但片中包裹在时空穿梭以及超现实的搞笑情节之下的，是一段潇洒、唯美的传统爱情故事。影片中也有现在为人们熟悉的王家卫式的嘲讽。
