Comments:

The story is set in the early 1960s, but it reflects the tired souls of people in the 1990s. The video was a sensation!

The 1960s witnessed the years of rebellion and decadence. Days of exuberance and repression, "unconventionality" and "love and peace."

The legendary "legless bird" story. "There is a kind of bird that can only fly non-stop. When it is tired of flying, it rests in the wind. It can only land when it dies." "Because the theme of this play tells a story about memories. If we want to make memories concrete, Transformation is like the feeling of water. Water is not solid and is very unstable. It will have many reflection effects and many angles. The same is true for the feeling of memory."

"We usually think of people. Only when you are old can you know how to remember. However, this is not always the case. Often when we are young, we forget some important things and remember some things that we think are insignificant. Therefore, timers such as clocks and watches are used in movies. "It appears just to echo this theme."

"I really want to take pictures of a street, with an empty scene, etc., but I have never found a street that makes me feel like the 1960s. Therefore, we changed "A Fei" to have a sealed closed space, using a compressed effect. The depth of field is very shallow, and things are not so fixed, just like the thoughts in the mind."

Memory and exploration. People stand in a self-enclosed position. Use old letters in an attempt to freeze time. Use a clock to engrave memories.

The barrier between doors is tangible. But what about the invisible distance? Maybe, just cry.

Civilization that spreads infinitely. If I could still escape.

A romantic and nostalgic sixties era. Listening to Elvis Presley, drinking Coca-Cola, dancing the Ah Ge dance, combing her hair in a plane, venting out the bleak days of the Mood for Love. Passion and desire. Endless melancholy, loss, and frustration. Every intersection is full of ambiguous emotions.

"Ashes Of Time" (Ashes Of Time) 1994 Written and directed by Wong Kar-wai/Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Brigitte Lin, Yang Caini

Hong Qi (Jacky Cheung), who is new to the world, is a swordsman who can't even afford straw sandals. He agreed to the village girl's request and killed all the swordsmen in the Taiwei Mansion alone, and also lost his right index finger. His reward was just an egg from the village girl.

Ouyang Feng's sister-in-law deliberately married his brother because she couldn't bear his pride. Now, her time has passed and she is about to die soon. She finally realized: I thought I won, but in fact I lost.

In the end, Huang Yaoshi lived in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island, nicknamed Dongxie. Hong Qi took over the Beggar Gang as the Northern Beggar. Murong Yan/Murong Yan changed her appearance and became a swordsman of a generation. Ouyang Feng burned down the shop and returned to his hometown, known as Xidu.

Comments:

It is the first of its kind to explore martial arts films. But its style is not accepted by most people! Its achievements are far inferior to his other works!

"Chungking Express" (Chungking Express) 1995 Written and directed by Wong Kar-wai / Brigitte Lin, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Wang Jingwen

Plot:

In "Chungking Express" All four of them are inherently marginalized. Brigitte Lin is a killer, a precipice character who is outside the law; Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung are wanderers with numbers - police officers; Faye Wong eventually became a stewardess, put on makeup and flew to a land with only a different name. These qualities that reveal a sense of absurdity underline Wong Kar-wai's views on social class. However, under these pessimism, these characters can enjoy life to the fullest, enjoying every breath, every second of running, and every passionate kiss. Takeshi Kaneshiro muttered to himself after falling out of love, used canned food to anesthetize him, and called old friends to entertain himself; Faye Wong put her secret love into action and created a mood in the 633 home; Brigitte Lin ended the crisis and congratulated her overnight friends on a pager - inwardly, they are all optimistic symbol, even though they are confused and ignorant about the future.

The story is set in the early 1960s, but it reflects the tired souls of people in the 1990s. The video was a sensation!

Comments:

A movie with a gathering of stars, a movie that I can’t understand no matter how I watch it. Watching this film is like an improvisation by the actors in the play, it’s up to you to interpret it!

Plot:

Lai Yiu-fai (Tony Leung) and Ho Po-wing ( Leslie Cheung) is a gay couple who traveled to Argentina together. They bought an old lamp from a street stall. The waterfall on the lampshade fascinated them, so they met to look for it together.

The good times did not last long, and the two had a dispute and broke up. Rong dropped the sentence "Let's start from scratch" and disappeared into the vast crowd. Hui works as a waiter in a tavern, while Rong stays up all night hooking up with foreign comrades. In fact, the two of them still care about each other in their hearts.

One night, Rong, who was covered with injuries, found Fai’s residence. He was beaten violently for stealing a watch and giving it to Fai. Rong, whose hands were injured, could not take care of himself and had to stay at Fai's residence. So Hui cooked and healed his wounds every day. Under careful care, the two were able to rebuild their old relationship.

After recovering from his injury, Rong often goes out at night, and Fai suspects that he has a new love. After the quarrel, Rong left home and never saw Hui again.

Hui went to a restaurant to work as a chef and met Zhang Wan (Zhang Zhen) who traveled around the world. Hui gradually fell in love with Wan, but unexpectedly Wan suddenly wanted to travel to the southernmost point of America. When they broke up, the two hugged tightly.

Hui's life has lost its direction. In confusion, he remembered the sentence again: "Let's start from the beginning." Fai then bought a car to look for the waterfall that Rong and he were supposed to be traveling to. Under the waterfall, Fai felt lonely and decided to return to Hong Kong. On the way, he took a detour to Zhang Wan's home in Taipei, where he realized that in order to wander happily, he must have a place to return to.

Comments:

Another pinnacle work by Wong Kar-Wai! The portrayal of the character's psychology is meticulous and never cliché! This film is a classic! And won an international award!

"In the Mood For Love" (2000) Written and directed by Wong Kar-Wai/Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung

Plot:

In a distant foreign country, Chow Mo-wan Still can't forget everything she had with Su Lizhen in the past. If she had really agreed to go with him that day, would they still be together now? Or were they destined to separate and divide their things?

Some people may say that since they moved into the same floor on the same day, Becoming neighbors, fate has brought them together. And when they discovered that there was an ulterior relationship between each other's spouses, it was more like there was an invisible thread between them, which could be cut even if they wanted to.

To this day, he can still see the group of wandering figures gathering together in an instant. The landlord and his wife, his wife Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen---Su Lizhen. When I passed her in the stairwell or corridor, or exchanged greetings with a smile, I never thought that her serene face and bright figure would become a deep thought for him in the future.

Under the shadow of their spouses' betrayal, they approach each other with their own concerns. That's where everything becomes unstable and awkward. Sometimes she seems to be relying on him, and then she suddenly betrays him. He wanted to take possession, but lacked the courage. He wanted to be disobedient, but facing her solemn expression, he felt unspeakably timid.

When I can’t see it, I think about it more and more. Those times stolen behind someone's back and spent together in a secluded room are so warm and peaceful. Those long waits that didn't come, those phone calls that she knew were hers but couldn't hear her voice, were so hot and torturous. It wasn't until he made the decision to travel far that he spoke his sincere words to her. At this moment, he couldn't help but think that the person he really betrayed might be her.

Everything has receded, Hong Kong, 1962, that old secret...

Whether it was for revenge or seduction, or simple comfort, in the end, only favor remains. .

Comments:

A most popular film in mainland China, a film recognized by the mainstream and too commercialized, Wong Kar-wai once again became the focus of public opinion through this film! The deliberately created nostalgic atmosphere caters to a certain psychology of most people!
