This is a classic nostalgic film, and nostalgia is Wong Kar-wai's ageless complex. Here, he tells us a story from the 1960s with a cool sadness. Old songs, jazz music, rain lanes, cheongsam, street lamps... Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Chen carefully maintain their relationship, not talking about love or love. He had countless opportunities to get close to her, but the desire was controlled and the pain was forbearing, so nothing happened.
A seemingly extramarital affair story did not fall into the cliché in the end. On the contrary, it was performed so uniquely. He and she revealed each other's secrets and kept secrets from each other. Their emotions are like the bright moon in the blue sky, they can only see each other from a distance, but they cannot be touched. Maybe nothing happened, maybe nothing happened. Contradiction, pain. Whether struggling or lingering, they decided to break up. He picked up the phone: "If there is a boat ticket, will you come with me?" She came to the empty room, stroked the bed he had slept on, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "If there is a boat Tickets, will you take me away?".
It's not that I don't love it, it's just that I don't know whether I should love it or not. I forgot who said it. Once the time of the year, once the spirit of the moon. Each of Maggie Cheung's cheongsam is in line with her mood, melancholy, peaceful, happy, helpless, painful... In the seemingly lively color change, life has quietly changed. The fleeting years are like water, and the youth is lost.
The singing sounded, making people memorable. Yes, there is a kind of love in the world. Things have changed, but the feeling is still there. It's just that no one can go back to the past.
