Days of Being Wild Page #4

Synopsis: Set in 1960, the film centres on the young, boyishly handsome Yuddy, who learns from the drunken ex-prostitute who raised him that she is not his real mother. Hoping to hold onto him, she refuses to divulge the name of his real birth mother. The revelation shakes Yuddy to his very core, unleashing a cascade of conflicting emotions. Two women have the bad luck to fall for Yuddy. One is a quiet lass named Su Lizhen who works at a sports arena, while the other is a glitzy showgirl named Mimi. Perhaps due to his unresolved Oedipal issues, he passively lets the two compete for him, unable or unwilling to make a choice. As Lizhen slowly confides her frustration to a cop named Tide, he falls for her. The same is true for Yuddy's friend Zeb, who falls for Mimi. Later, Yuddy learns of his birth mother's whereabouts and heads out to the Philippines.

I have told you to leave first,

now it's you tailing me!

I do wish that you were killed!

Did you ever heard of

a bird which...

Yes!

The bird with no legs!

You can only cheat

those innocent girls

Are you like a bird?

How?

You're like the drunkard

picked up from the garbage

of China Town!

Don't you think you are

like a bird?

If you could fly,

you would not have to be here

Go and fly,

if you have such ability!

There is a chance!

But don't look down upon

yourself if this day come

Tell me

When can we arrive the next stop?

I don't know what

you are talking about!

How long?

How long to next stop?

Tell me!

Thanks

That day when I came out

from the hospital,

I felt very free

I need not to worry about

my living any longer

I will get US$50 monthly

till the boy is 1 8

I do want to know

is the end shot of my life

So, I must not close

my eyes when I die

How about you?

What do you want to see

most when your life end

Life is so long, many things

that I have not yet seen

I don't know,

I don't know what

I want to see most

Think it over

Since your job is so boring!

Life actually is not long,

it's time to think it over

There was a bird...

Which lied and flied until it died

It never goes to anywhere

Because it died from the start

I've said that

I never know which woman is my true love

I wonder what she is doing now

Dawn breaks

It looks fine today

How about sunset?

When I last saw him,

I asked him a question

Did you remember that

Did you remember what

you were doing on that day?

Why do you ask in this way?

Nothing

A friend of mine always wants

to challenge my memory

He asked me what had

I done on that day

I've forget, how about you?

Did she tell you?

I think that you've already forgot!

I can remember what

should be remembered

Are you two dated frequently?

In a certain period

After my new job,

we seldom meet then

How about you?

I?

No

What else did she tell you?

No more

Actually, we know each other

for a short period of time only

Do you like her?

It's different, we are friends only

When you see her again, tell her...

...l've forgot everything

This is good to both of us

Maybe I will never meet her again

Even if I can see her,

Maybe she can't recognise me

You come here alone, Aren't you afraid?

I heard that people from HK live here

So I want to talk to you
