What is the connection between 2046 and Wong Kar-wai's other works?

Speaking of the movie "2046", I don't think everyone will feel strange. This film won six awards at the 2005 Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Cinematography. This standard "Wong Kar-wai style" film is independent, and it is a work connecting the past with the future. So this film has two relations with other works of Wong Kar-wai.

First, pay tribute to the classics.

2046 focuses on memories of the past. Wong Kar-wai is a nostalgic person. Many of his films reflect a tribute to his previous works. The familiar number 2046 inherits and pays tribute to the film In the Mood for Love.

In the Mood for Love, the best foreign language film that won or was nominated for the highest award in the film industry of five countries, was rated as the first "best Asian film" by NCC of the United States. This sweeping award symbolizes that it has been recognized all over the world.

A very classic line in this movie, "If I have an extra ticket, will you go with me?" Maggie Cheung (Su Lizhen) did not answer. On the contrary, Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Zhou Muyun) got used to her silence and turned away.

This ending is undoubtedly embarrassing. ?

The protagonist with less talent in love, silent, considerate, sensitive and brave, made this regretful and beautiful romantic film, and later regretted it.

In "2046", in order to make up for it, Zhou Mu Yun, who was determined to leave, did not give up her memories in Singapore, which was far away from home. This undoubtedly reassured the audience who understood the film. Those who give up because of regret may still have memories of the past in their hearts.

Second, the finishing touch

In 2046, Zhou Muyun (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), who desperately wanted to forget the past, still failed to do so after returning to Hong Kong. The hotel room number is 2046, and he is writing, which leads to a flood of past events. The figures of women (Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong, Carina Lau and Maggie Cheung) who appeared beside him flashed through his mind, and then the scenes lingered.

Wong Kar-wai's films are mostly romantic films; The main story line in romantic films is mostly parting, and the ending is mostly sadness.

The introverted protagonist has a deep and affectionate temperament. In The True Story of Teddy Boy, Teddy Boy (Leslie Cheung) and In the Mood for Love, Zhou Mu Yun (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), who had been in contact with and infatuated with, finally gave an ending and an explanation through this memory.

It can be said that life is like a play. Since it is impossible to pursue eternal love, it should be recorded forever, and its temperature and form should be preserved in words. The final outcome of the film should be to record those memories in the form of novels, which can be said to save them, or to let them give up their thoughts and put them down from their hearts. ?

When Wong Kar-wai is mentioned, people always think of many well-known classics such as In the Mood for Love, True Story of Teddy Boy, Ashes of Time, 2046, etc. The classic of his works lies in his own school. The difference between him and other mass directors is that he pays attention to shaping the image of actors, and actors drive the development of the plot, which no one can imitate or surpass.

Because of his unique expression and emotional pursuit, he is a dedicated director. He pays more attention to the film itself, rather than the impact and benefits it will bring. He knows that obscure and brain-consuming movies are not box office, but his persistence has made his own style and achieved' Wong Kar-wai-style movies'.
