How about the movie Chongqing Forest?

Wong Kar-wai's Chongqing Forest is a film with great personal characteristics. It is always a futile job to find the context of the story in Wong Kar-wai's films. Several people's stories are connected by some kind of paradox, and it becomes a movie. Perhaps only Wong Kar-wai can use such a turning point so skillfully and tactfully. Of course, maybe Wong Kar-wai didn't want to tell us this story. Wong Kar-wai just kept mumbling, and what we thought was secondary. Self-expression is the focus of Wong Kar-wai. When we tried to find out this problem, we found ourselves completely lost in the forest of Wong Kar-wai, just like everyone in the movie was lost in love.

In Chongqing Forest, it is not the urban atmosphere that helps the characters and stories, but the characters and stories in turn help the urban atmosphere. One point and one harmony, one sorrow and one joy, create a sense of drama and tension, and ensure the basic pleasure of watching movies; Weaken the logical relationship, weaken the timeline (in fact, the logical relationship is often reflected by time, so weakening the timeline is also weakening the logical relationship), showing a space, whether it is chungking mansions or Hongkong. Chongqing Forest has many time points, but on the contrary, the more it emphasizes, the less time the audience has.

Because it has been raining, Wu doesn't know if he feels better. Faye Wong left, Tony Leung Chiu Wai waited alone, and Faye Wong came back. It's been raining. Things change, only the calendar turns pages-isn't that the same as not turning pages? The unique photography style and good soundtrack make all this reasonable on the visual level. Then what is finally presented to the audience is a city. A rainy city, there are Chinese and Indian, Japanese, colloquial, little girl who eats ice cream, big girl who dreams of California, policeman who buys chef salad for his girlfriend, lovelorn policeman, lonely drug Lord. This is why the film is named after chungking mansions. The two shots mentioned above are the starting points provided by the director, suggesting the essence of the audience's film-a city film and an emotional capture. In film shooting, if there are enough shots, sometimes several shots can be taken in one second, and these shots can be edited together to show the things in one second in more than one second; And "Chongqing Forest" is also a mirror image and editing of Hong Kong in a certain period of time; Time passed in reality, and Faye Wong in the movie came back with long hair, but queer remained. Then, together with Dream Man, Chongqing Forest died like a dream. So you can't look at it from the perspective of the general timeline. Chongqing forest is a moment, a breath. what do you think?
