    Fresh, fresh, what fresh. You are the kind of person who is greedy for the new and forgets the old. Hello! Do you know how much effort it takes to get a can of pineapple? You have to plant, pluck, and cut again. If you don’t want it, then don’t want it? Have you ever wondered how it feels to be...

    A completely different love from "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". Brigitte Lin's love is to cater to and revenge. Takeshi Kaneshiro's love is guaranteed and necessary. Faye Wong's love exists and lasts for a long time. Tony Leung's love is to wait and tell. Everyone can see their lovelorn scenes more or less in them. As for what love requires, Wong Kar-wai's explanation is probably non-catering, indefinite, and temporal. I love talking with objects in...

    At that time, Takeshi Kaneshiro was still a little fresh meat, although it was not so loud at that...

    Liang Chaowei's melancholy and Kaneshiro Takeshi's handsomeness are all top-notch in the Chinese film industry. Not to mention the director. If we can get together again, I believe there will be better...

    In Wong Kar-wai's image world, elements from the French New Wave can be glimpsed here. The elements commonly used by Godard, such as jumpers and time-lapse photography, are fully available. It can be seen that Godard has a great influence on Wang, which is different from the New Wave. The despair of existentialism, Wong Kar Wai's rhythm is melodious, soothing, lonely, and a little sad. Two delicate love stories, everything is like that can of pineapple, they all have an expiration date, but I...

    At first glance, I thought it was okay, but after watching In the Mood for Love, The True Story of Ah Fei, Blueberry Night, etc., I felt tired and crooked. You can still change Wang's...

    Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is ruthless and affectionate.

    "Chongqing Forest" is a combination of two seemingly unrelated units, "Chungking Mansion" and "Midnight Express", but in fact they are not two completely independent entities. In the first unit, the broken-hearted 223 yelled and ran on the escalator that had stopped, and a brief...

    Find Happiness - The Fascinating Chongqing Forest

    Yesterday, on a whim, I revisited "Chongqing Forest". Although I have seen it several times, this film still attracts me so much, perhaps because of those peculiar but condensed words of the true meaning of life, or the fragmented but ringed The interlocking picture may be the irresistible...

Chungking Express quotes

  • He Zhiwu, Cop 223: We split up on April Fool's Day. So I decided to let the joke run for a month. Every day I buy a can of pineapple with a sell-by date of May 1. May loves pineapple, and May 1 is my birthday. If May hasn't changed her mind by the time I've bought thirty cans, then our love will also expire.

  • He Zhiwu, Cop 223: Any canned pineapple that expires on May 1?

    Cashier: You know what day it is today?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: April 30?

    Cashier: Right. You think we sell outdated stock?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: There's still two hours to go.

    Cashier: Nobody would buy it. Get a fresh one.

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?

    Cashier: Buddy, I only work here. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading... How I wish cans wouldn't expire! It'd save me loads of work. You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!
