      2046--Youth And Tears, Love And Sorrow Is Leave

      He just took the sleeve out of her hand like that. How many years later, will he still think of Su Lizhen? Her voice, her smile, her gestures, and the smell of her body. In the spring light of that distant pattern, there is the fragrance of tea and the covering of silk and satin. And the era of 1966, where his memory stayed, the era of 2046 described in his novels, has always been a place where he could...

      2046

      Perhaps the biggest cast you could get at the time in Asia, as well as one of the most iconic director in the world, Wong Kar-Wai. Visually perfect as always, coupled with memorable characters, 2046 is unmistakably a Wong film. Perhaps only he could get these actors and actresses to star in 2-bit roles. Like other of Wong's films, what the story lacks, the film compensates itself with amazing atmosphere. I probably won't remember anything about the film's story, but I will definitely remember...

      Memories are an endless road

      "No matter where you go, you should remember that the past is false, memories are an endless road, all the past springs no longer exist, and even the most tenacious and frantic love is only a kind of A fleeting reality." - "Love in the Time of Cholera"


             Lonely people are always caught up in the memories of the past, unable to extricate themselves. Loneliness always triggers affectionate men's memories of those unforgettable women in their lives, but if there are no...

      Can't ask, can't let go

      Ah, it's been ten years so fast.
      Thinking about it, I caught up with the release of this film. Although I was still very young at the time, I had already started watching entertainment gossip. It was said that this film was made for 5 years, and Wong Kar-wai himself was very sad. Sometimes he sat silently on the set. , slowly wipe away the tears behind the sunglasses.
       
      This film took a long time, a long time, a long time, everyone has almost forgotten the Mood for Love, and the...

      Hypocrisy can't be said to be the thunder point of narrative art, but there should be a limit. Generally speaking, a man who failed in love is full of romance and drama, and he has not found his love in the end. Naturally, movies are not life, but this kind of movie that only has romantic emotions and nothing else is still flimsy. I didn't know why I liked "Evil in the East" and wanted to watch it...

      Although it is not as melodious as "In the Mood for Love", it maintains Wong Kar-wai's consistent style. I like Bai Ling and Zhou Muyun the most, but Faye Wong and Kimura Takuya's part is still a bit of a joke, but the film is still very attractive in general. At least this film has a great influence on me. I fell in love with Wong Kar Wai because of this film, and even set the password of my mobile phone to...

    Movie plot

    In 1966, Zhou Muyun, who left Hong Kong, hid a secret until she met Su Lizhen in Singapore.

Zhou Muyun's eyes followed Su Lizhen through the casino, she saved Zhou Muyun's addiction, but she didn't want to follow him away.

    Film structure

    The director does not deliberately emphasize the development of the storyline. He hides the causality in the play behind the plot, completely disrupting the time and space before and after. But the ingenuity of the director is to promote the development of the story in these chaotic characters, scenes, plots, time and space. The film has a very clear main clue: Zhou Muyun, played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai , is both the protagonist and the...

    Video screen

    Wong Kar-wai conveys a gloomy and depressing tone through the rich language of his films. The image is low-key, and the color of the picture used is also dark. Although it is a feasting, singing and dancing, the color is bright, but the traces of the director's restraint are obvious. Therefore, what is delivered to the audience is a sense of depression. "" is excellent in the use of light and shade. The contrast between the bright...

    Therefore, in general, "" has a unique personality in terms of story, pictures, lens use, and music. The openness of its structure, themes, and time and space expands the infinite narrative space for the art of film. "" seems to be the continuation of Wong Kar-wai 's stories in "In the Mood for Love", "Days of Being Wild" , "Ashes of Time" and "Chongqing Forest", as well as the beginning of his subsequent stories.

    • Chow Mo Wan: Whenever someone asked why I left 2046, I always gave them some vague answer. It was easier.

    • Chow Mo Wan: I once fell in love with someone. I couldn't stop wondering if she loved me back. I found an android which looked just like her. I hoped she would give me the answer.

    • Chow Mo Wan: He didn't turn back. It's as if he boarded a very long train headed for a drowsy future through the unfathomable night.
