Why Should You Watch The Recent Murder Mystery Film The Goldfinger (金手指)? Is It A Good Movie? Did Tony Leung (梁朝偉) Act Well?

The recent Hong Kong film The Goldfinger (金手指) is a 2023 film written and directed by Felix Chong (莊文強), and staring 2 Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung (梁朝偉) and Andy Lau (劉德華).

Some expected to be a very exciting action crime thriller. They are wrong. The film turns out to be a nostalgic and heartrending biography of the most notorious swindler in the 1970s and 80s. It is also a tale of episodes depicting the vanished years of Hong Kong when money could buy anything and the pursuit of voluptuous life had corrupted the whole society.

The story is well-known. In the 1970s: a Malaysian man who had nothing came to look for money opportunities in Hong Kong. Within a few years, he, by dishonest means, became a Mr Moneybags. His improper schemes were finally unmasked and this scoundrel was put in jail. Incident to the long and complicated saga, 3 men i.e. the lawyer, the accountant and the judge who acquitted the scoundrel during the first trial mysteriously died. Up to now, nobody has been found responsible for the ghastful deaths.

Murder mysteries are puzzles that are fun to resolve. The film The Goldfinger however did not attempt to resolve ‘whodunit’ and in fact is quite distanced from the crime truth. It may want the audience to speculate the truth by themselves. This is why some audience were disappointed because this murder movie, unlike those of Agatha Christie, did not make the ‘Q&A’ neatly wound up at the end of the story.

From indulgent nightlife to lavish parties, the film depicts the heyday of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 80s, when money could be easily made from the newly flourishing stock market. The film also foreshadows the economic doom that would follow. Businessmen, lawyers, accountants and bankers all looked happy but ‘everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.’ Regrets were before these people became criminals or after they became ghost.

This great film is loved by me because it is about the good old days, or bad old days, that I actually went through when I was young. It might be loved by me for nostalgic reasons, but in any event, I have a high opinion of the work because the film is sincere, well-prepared and well-produced with meticulous artistic care. Actors like Tony Leung, Andy Lau and Simon Yam (任達華) are extremely glittering and their acting is impressively successful.

This wonderful film makes us feel like we have journeyed with the story and characters. Some said film is a dream. I would say film can also be a reality which is an emotional echo forcing us to remember and think. I recommend The Goldfinger to anyone who is looking for a good movie to watch.

Creativity takes courage and I am proud that Felix Chong has the guts to do a not really commercial film.

I think it’s very easy to make parallels between Adam’s reasoning and incels, but stepping away from it a bit, I think there’s an obvious difference: while incels believe that they have been rejected by “the female population” which they claim to have a right to, Adam feels himself rejected by mankind as a whole. So why is he too demanding a female companion, specifically?

I think it is interesting because so far, the companions he has sought out haven’t been women as such. When he was seeking companionship with the De Lacey family, he wasn’t focused on Agatha or Safie in particular, no, he was focused on the family as a whole, I would almost argue that his focus was somewhat slanted towards Felix and Mr De Lacey. Likewise, his next attempt at companionship was to kidnap a boy child, William.

So again, how did he go from that to the conclusion that he wants a female companion?

After killing William, Adam sees Caroline’s picture and expresses his attraction towards her. Previously he has described people as beautiful, but iirc this is the first time he speaks of attraction. So it could be that he realises that he specifically wants a companion with whom he can have a sexual relationship, which is disturbing, since he doesn’t plan on giving his companion a choice of being with him; he already assumes that she will be, no matter her feelings.

But also, perhaps he always wanted a female companion, but until now he sought out potential companions that already exist and therefore there’s a limit to what he can expect them to be. Given the opportunity to have a companion made “from scratch”, he chooses to request a female companion.

In a way, it makes sense considering his education from Paradise Lost. Now, I haven’t read it at all, but from what I understand it’s something of a retelling of the biblical creation myth, and that one I am intimately familiar with (having both studied it closely in an academic context and translated it myself). So, when God created (the biblical) Adam, Adam tried to find a companion among the other creatures but was unsuccessful, as he wanted someone who was like him. Then God created Eve, the female companion of the male creation (I’m holding back from discussing gender in the creation myth further, because there is so much to say, but this is not the time or place). Adam (the creature) reading that would quite naturally assume that the companion created for him should be female, to “complement” his maleness.

But that made me think: how did Adam come to understand himself as male? He “grew up” completely isolated, so where would he have gotten the information? Even if he watched the De Lacey family closely and intimately enough to see a physical variation between Agatha/Safie and Felix/Mr De Lacey/himself, would he understand what that means?

Which makes me wonder if he wants a female companion specifically because of a true desire for “the female”, or simply because it is what he understands to be the natural complement to himself as male. Incels want a female companion because they see women as a subspecies which they have an inherent right to, but for all of Adam’s incel tendencies, I would say it’s rash to assume he holds the same views and values, especially considering how limited his education and life experiences are.

#i want to dissect adam’s gender so badly #i hope there’s some articles on it i can check out once we’re done #frankenstein weekly #meta #adjacent at least #my meta

I was tagged by @bluespring864, @iiiflow, @black-cat-aoife and @thotstochter to do this, thank you!

Ich war zu müde, das auf englisch zu beantworten, und auf deutsch ist es ziemlich ausgeartet. Ich habe es benutzt, um mein tägliches Wortlimit für den Miniwrimo zu erreichen ...

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

477.

Das klingt irre viel … ist aber der Output von 12 Jahren. Und besteht größtenteils aus Ficlets um die 1.000 Wörter.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

682.779, d.h. eine durchschnittliche Geschichte ist bei mir 1.431 Wörter lang.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Die Top-Ten sind … *Trommelwirbel*

1. Tatort (367)

2. Neues aus Büttenwarder (27)

3. Großstadtrevier (12)

4. Agatha Christie’s Poirot (12)

5. Magnum P.I. (10)

6. The Fall Guy (Ein Colt für alle Fälle) (9)

7. Good Omens (8)

8. Polizeiruf 110 (7)

9. Stargate Atlantis (5)

10. Ein Fall für Zwei (5)

… und dann noch 19 weitere Fandoms mit 3 oder weniger Fics. Auch da hat sich einiges angesammelt, vor allem durch die 120-Minuten-Sommerchallenge, die mich immer mal wieder dazu animiert hat was neues auszuprobieren. Eine gewisse Tendenz Richtung Krimi zeichnet sich ab, garniert mit etwas Science Fiction. Die Masse ist und bleibt aber Fanfiction zum Tatort, v.a. Tatort Münster und ein bißchen Tatort Berlin (Ritter und Stark).

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ich habe ein paar Fanfics zu Agatha Christie’s Poirot und zu Death in Paradise, bei denen jemand sehr Begeistertes es geschafft haben muß, mehrfach anonyme kudos abzugeben. Anders kann ich mir die hohen Zahlen für deutschsprachige Geschichten in diesen Fandoms nicht erklären. Wenn ich die rausnehmen, sind die TOP 5:

Schicksalsgemeinschaft (Tatort Münster, Thiel/Boerne)

Undercover (Tatort Münster, Thiel/Boerne)

Albträume (Tatort Münster, Thiel/Boerne)

Umwege (Tatort Münster, Thiel/Boerne)

Lebenslanges Lernen (Tatort Berlin und Münster, Felix/Till und Thiel/Boerne) und Des Widerspenstigen Zähmung (Tatort Münster, Thiel/Boerne)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Ich freue mich immer sehr über Kommentare und versuche zu antworten – aber nicht immer schaffe ich es auch. Manchmal ist gerade zu viel los, oder ich würde gerne was Substantielles schreiben, mir fehlt aber die Energie dazu. Manchmal habe ich schon eine Antwort im Kopf und komme nur nicht dazu, sie wirklich aufzuschreiben. Aber auf jeden Fall lese ich alles Kommentare und freue mich immer, auch wenn ich es nicht schaffe zu reagieren.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ich schreibe glückliche Enden und angst fast nur, wenn es als Prompt bei der Sommerchallenge vorkommt. Nicht daß ich angst nicht mag – je nach Stimmung lese ich das durchaus gern. Aber wenn ich selbst angst schreibe, habe ich unweigerlich das Bedürfnis, das wieder aufzulösen. Eine kurze AO3 Recherche ergibt 37 mit „angst“ getaggte Geschichten, aber wenn ich „Fluff and Angst“, „Angst with a Happy Ending“ und „Angst and Humor“ ausschließe, bleiben nur noch 16. Und die meisten davon haben eine Fortsetzung, in der alles wieder gut wird … Ein Beispiel für die Variante ist „Verloren“, bei dem der erste Teil wirklich angsty ist, die Fortsetzung (als zweites Kapitel) das ganze aber wieder löst. Ich habe tatsächlich nur einen winzigen Oneshot gefunden, der angst ohne Auflösung enthält: „Freier Fall“.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Ganz schwierig. Ich schreibe ja fast ausschließlich glückliche Enden und kann wirklich nicht sagen, was mein Glücklichstes ist.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nein, zum Glück noch nie.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nicht sehr oft, aber gelegentlich. Die Texte sind aber friends-only in meinem LJ. Und was heißt „what kind“? Die normale (=durchschnittliche) Art, nehme ich an …

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Crossover habe ich tatsächlich bisher kaum geschrieben, und wenn dann v.a. innerhalb des Tatort Universums:

Lebenslanges Lernen (Tatort Berlin und Tatort Münster)

Irgendwas mit Leichen, munkelt man (Münster/Hamburg/Stuttgart Crossover)

Mein ambitioniertester Versuch und ein echtes Crossover war jedoch Tatort Münster und Neues aus Büttenwarder: Kurzurlaub

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nicht daß ich wüßte.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Ja :D Rebecca hat eine meiner Büttenwarder-Geschichten ins Plattdeutsche übersetzt! Bodenhaltung Und um noch etwas anderes zu erwähnen: Zu mindestens zwei meiner Fics gibt es Podfics auf AO3, was ich auch ganz unglaublich toll finde. (Aus der frühen Phase gab es auch Podfics zu Tatort Münster von Farfie, aber die sind nicht mehr online, glaube ich.)

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Da ich sehr erratisch und ohne Planung schreibe, kann ich mir schwer vorstellen, etwas wirklich gemeinsam zu schreiben. Also tatsächlich fortlaufend gemeinsam an einem Text zu arbeiten. Das würde mehr Disziplin verlangen, als ich aufbringen kann. Ich habe aber mit viel Spaß verschiedene lose Formen der Zusammenarbeit ausprobiert, zum Beispiel den Anfang einer Geschichte von jemand anderem zu beenden (und umgekehrt). Oder Fortsetzungen zu Texten anderer geschrieben. Oder Geschichtenideen gemeinsam entwickelt.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

In den letzten zwölf Jahren waren das definitiv Thiel/Boerne. Es gibt andere Paare, die mich schon länger begleiten, zum Beispiel Kirk/Spock und McCoy/Spock, aber über niemanden habe ich mehr geschrieben als über Thiel und Boerne. Irgendwie bezweifle ich, daß sich das noch ändern wird.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Erstaunlicherweise habe ich (fast) keine WIPs mehr. Das einzige echte WIP auf AO3 ist „Der erste Tag“ und da habe ich zwar keine Idee, wie es weiter gehen wird, aber nachdem ich die letzten Sommerchallenge-WIPs teilweise über zwei bis drei Jahre fertiggestellt habe, bin ich recht zuversichtlich. Ansonsten kann es sein, daß irgendwo aus den frühen Jahren noch die ein oder andere unveröffentlichte Idee schlummert. Aber eigentlich bin ich immer mal wieder über solche Entwürfe gegangen und habe fast alles davon verwertet. Mein Problem in den letzten Jahren ist nicht, daß ich zu viele Ideen habe ;)

16. What are your writing strengths?

Ich glaube Dialoge – wenn ich mit etwas sehr zufrieden bin, sind es meist die Dialoge in dem Moment, in dem ich die Stimmen der Charaktere höre. Was mir auch oft gut gefällt bei meinen eigenen Sachen ist Timing und Rhythmus (der Sprache, also wie z.B. kurze auf lange Sätze folgen). Und schließlich, aber das ist eine zweischneidige Sache: Auslassungen. Ich habe irgendwann sehr früh beim Schreiben gemerkt, daß man vieles einfach weglassen kann. Das kommt meiner Faulheit entgegen und meiner Neigung, mich nur auf das zu konzentrieren, auf das ich Lust habe (beim Schreiben auf die Charaktere und die Liebesgeschichte, die ich in der Regel erzähle). Aber es gefällt mir auch, weil die Geschichten dadurch schlank und aufs wesentliche konzentriert sind. Ich mag den Stil – auch wenn ich beim Lesen auch andere Stile zu schätzen weiß. Es kann aber auch zu Problemen führen, siehe Punkt 17.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Alles, was über den Plot einer Liebesgeschichte hinausgeht, mehrsträngige Handlungen und unpersönliche POVs. Ganz generell habe ich zu wenig Ausdauer für längere Geschichten und kein Talent, eine komplexere Handlung im Vorhinein zu planen. Ich schreibe einfach drauflos, was bei kurzen Sachen ganz gut funktioniert. Und schließlich haben wir die Auslassungen: Am liebsten lasse ich alles, was mir nicht wirklich wichtig erscheint, einfach weg. Fanfiktion ist ideal dafür, weil die Leser*innen die Welt, um die es geht, ja schon kennen. Ich fürchte allerdings, daß ich es manchmal zu weit treibe und dann doch Szenen produziere, denen man nicht folgen kann. Das fällt mir bei meinen eigenen Sachen auf, wenn ich was älteres lese, was sich sehr eng an eine bestimmte Folge / Szene im Canon anlehnt. Wenn ich selbst die betreffende Szene aus dem Canon drei Jahre später nicht mehr im Kopf habe, funktioniert der Text nicht mehr. Dann habe ich definitiv zu viel weggelassen.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Dafür gibt es meistens keinen vernünftigen Grund. Entweder versteht der POV Charakter / der Erzähler die Sprache, dann kann es gleich in der Erzählsprache sein. Und wenn er sie nicht versteht, hätte man auf den Dialog auch verzichten können. Wenn es was Autobiographisches ist über eine bilinguale Person, dann hätte es seine Berechtigung – aber die Vermittlung an nicht bilinguale Leser*innen wird schwierig. Ich selbst hab‘ das bisher nur in Maßen genutzt, bei Poirot Fanfiction, weil Agatha Christie Poirot auch gerne mal einen französischen Begriff untermischen läßt. Und einmal in einem Tatort Münster AU, da habe ich Boerne in Rom einen italienischen Satz sagen lassen. Der war nicht wirklich wichtig, das war eher ein Scherz, weil Boerne im Original auch immer wieder eine neue Sprache auspackt, die er (angeblich) spricht. Und natürlich wollte ich mit meinen Italienischkenntnisse protzen ;)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Mein allererster nicht beendeter und nie veröffentlichter Versuch war zu Star Trek TOS: McKoy/Spock Slash, ich erinnere mich auch noch an das Trope („trapped in a small space together“). Ich hatte gerade Fanfiction entdeckt, mußte aber feststellen, daß es von Tagträumen zu geschriebenen Geschichten doch ein weiter Weg ist. Nach einer Seite oder so habe ich aufgegeben, überzeugt, daß ich nicht das geringste Talent zum Schreiben (fiktionaler) Texte habe.

Ungefähr zehn Jahre (und sehr viel Fanfiction Konsum) später: Ich hatte gerade Tatort Münster Slash entdeckt, alles gelesen, was es zu dem Zeitpunkt gab, saß mit einer Erkältung zuhause und schrieb „Albträume“. Das war wie ein umgelegter Schalter, keine Ahnung warum, aber ich habe plötzlich gemerkt, daß ich sehr wohl schreiben kann. Auch das zu einem klassischen Trope (sharing a bed). Als der Damm dann erst mal gebrochen war, habe ich einige Monate geschrieben wie verrückt … Eine schöne Zeit, für mein sonstiges Leben war es aber doch gut, daß sich das irgendwann beruhigt hat. Irgendwann muß man ja auch mal schlafen.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Ganz schwierig, Meistens ist das, was ich gerade schreibe, mein liebstes. Oder eben das, was gerade am meisten meiner Stimmung entspricht. „Undercover“ ist immer noch eine meiner liebsten Geschichten, weil ich beim Schreiben so viel Spaß hatte. Und von den neuen Sachen hänge ich merkwürdigerweise besonders an einem nur gute 500 Wörter langen Ficlet zu Good Omens: „Like stars in the night sky“ – vielleicht, weil ich wenig auf englisch geschrieben habe und nur selten Szenen, die eher visuell angelegt sind. Und vermutlich spielt auch eine Rolle, daß mir Aziraphale und Crowley gerade sehr nahe sind.

Ich glaube, alle um mich rum haben das schon beantwortet oder wurden schon getaggt, deshalb einfach die pauschale Einladung an alle, die Lust haben.

Autumn Reading Challange

My favorite season of the year has arrived! With pumpkin-flavored cookies and flavored green teas and black turtlenecks matched with jackets, it's time for a new reading list. I didn't have much success in the summer, that's why I hope that everything will go better in the autumn. I tried to choose books that keep the atmosphere specific to the spooky season, but I'm not a fan of modern horror, so my selection is more towards mystery, drama, gloomy, spleen.

I will soon start my last year of my master's degree, so I am returning to an old passion of mine, philosophy. I tend to immerse myself too much in work for whole months, so I work with myself now to make reading my quiet moment that I need every day. Wish me luck!
