Chongqing Forest

The 8th article in the electro-optic phantom series wants to talk about love. Love is complicated, and this complexity is vividly reflected in Wong Kar-wai's films.

Fear, expectation, timidity, missing, delusion, deliberate, and regret are mixed in his movie stories. You can see yourself in every emotion, or yourself who was in love.

I used to think that love must be two of a kind, but where are so many two of a kind in this world?

Most of the time, it is a state of chasing. You chase me, I chase him, he chases her and she chases him, and this kind of chasing is vividly expressed in Wong Kar-wai's Chongqing Forest.

"Chongqing Forest" tells the story of two chasing each other in love. First, Brigitte Lin, a blonde, and Takeshi Kaneshiro, a lovelorn policeman.

The opening of the movie will make you have some doubts. What kind of intersection will such a newly lovelorn armed police and a drug trafficking girl have? After reading it, I have to admire Wong Kar-wai's strong cohesion in telling stories.

The policeman No.223 played by Takeshi Kaneshiro in the movie has just been lovelorn. The lovelorn Ah Wu still keeps the habit of falling in love. Although he knows that he can't wait, he comes to wait for Ah May to get off work every day. For fear of missing May's call, he will stay in front of the telephone every day.

The password he set for his 368 answering machine is "Love you for ten thousand years".

Wu, who is lovelorn, talked about running when he called a friend. The narrator of the movie said: "Everyone has a lovelorn time, and every time I am lovelorn, I will run, because running can evaporate the water in your body, which makes me less prone to tears. How can I cry? In May's heart, I am a cool man. "

When I see this, I can't help feeling sorry for this infatuated and handsome policeman. Who said that crying when I was lovelorn is the only thing that makes people feel sad, and sometimes it's even more sad that I can't cry.

everywhere you go and see everyone, you will think of things related to her, and so will Wu. When he went to the supermarket to buy canned pineapple, he was lovelorn and sensitive, and found that the expired things would be thrown away.

"I don't know when it started. There is a date on everything. The saury will expire, the meat sauce will expire, and even the plastic wrap will expire. I began to wonder, what else in this world will not expire? "

Perhaps realizing that love may also expire, Ah Wu gave himself a deadline. When he bought 3 cans of canned pineapples due on May 1st, he would give up this relationship if she didn't come back.

after 3 days, his girlfriend didn't come back, so Wu ate 3 cans of pineapple that were about to expire, and planned to get drunk in a bar.

The story has been told for so long that Ah Wu and the drug girl began to meet, but it's a pity that they were doomed to separate as soon as they met.

Wu is sitting in a bar and meets a blonde with sunglasses (Brigitte Lin).

She was chased by a group of people all day, so naturally she was not in the mood to deal with this lovelorn and immature man. Maybe it was the alcohol, or she was too tired. She told Ah Wu that she wanted to go to the hotel to rest. But Ah Wu didn't expect that she really just wanted to have a rest. Brigitte Lin was sleeping while Ah Wu was watching TV and eating.

Wu, a policeman, helped the blonde take off her high heels, and after a night of company, he left. The reason to help her take off her high heels is that Wu's mother once told him that if a woman sleeps in high heels, her feet will swell up the next day.

And this morning happened to be Ah Wu's birthday. It rained heavily in the sky, and Ah Wu ran breathlessly. Suddenly the BB started paging him, and Ah Wu ran to the telephone booth in the rain.

On the other end of the phone, the blonde who had met all night said happy birthday to him. On this day, only this woman said this sentence to him. Not May, not a friend, but her.

The first story is coming to an end on Happy Birthday, which may be a little abrupt, but it is reasonable that such a strange and short-lived love may end here.

The second love story begins in a fast food restaurant where Awu often calls. No.663, who is also a policeman, comes to the fast food restaurant every day to buy a chef's salad for the pilot's girlfriend. One day, the store owner advised him to buy some other flavors for his girlfriend, and then one day, No.663 stopped buying food for his girlfriend.

When the owner asked why he didn't buy it, No.663 said, "Even the food can be tried for a change, not to mention the boyfriend?"

663 is lovelorn, and Effie, who is helping her cousin in the shop, slowly takes a liking to this policeman in her daily meeting. Effie likes noisy music very much. She will clean the table while dancing at work. Every time 663 comes, she can't help but look at it more.

It is hard for 663, who is lovelorn, to feel Effie's feelings. He is busy comforting the sad furniture, dolls, rags, soap and clothes at home every day. Every item that smells like an ex-girlfriend makes 663 lose. Articles are emotionless, so it is 663 himself who is really sad.

Suddenly one day, the female pilot came to their shop and left a letter and the key to the police's house. The lovelorn 663 naturally didn't want to read this letter that made him sadder, so the letter remained in Effie's hand.

Effie took this opportunity to sneak into the policeman's house with the key to clean and decorate his room. In the place where the person you like lives, you can smell 663. Effie is very happy every day. Because of his adventure game, Effie feels excited and excited.

but slowly, police 663 found something wrong. The original thin soap became fat, the original tattered towel was changed, the original white bear was replaced by a cloth tiger, and the shirt moved ...

663 didn't understand why these things changed, until one day, his home was flooded with water.

"I don't know if I forgot to turn off the tap, or if the house is getting more and more emotional. I always thought it was the strongest, but I didn't expect it to cry the most. When a person cries, you only need to give him a pack of paper towels, but when a house cries, you have to do a lot of work.

just as 663 was dealing with the hygiene at home, Effie with goldfish opened his door. Effie panicked, and 663 seemed to notice something, so he let Effie pretend to have a leg pain in the house. Sitting on the sofa at home, they listened to the music changed by Effie and fell asleep slowly.

I thought they could get together from here, but the movie just didn't let you.

The spoiler is almost over here. Guess what happened to Effie and Police 663 in the end?

This movie is suitable for rainy days. Although it talks a lot about lovelorn, it has a healing effect inexplicably.

Love is not only beautiful in two of a kind, but even a person's love can be romantic.
