In the Mood for Love, a sad story.

On the night of Tanabata, I watched it again by myself. If there is one more ticket, will you go with me? I think Zhou Muyun still didn't say this sentence in the end. He ended up in Cambodia, and the secret he left behind should be regret.

This is the second time I've watched this movie, and I always feel that I haven't seen it thoroughly enough. Wong Kar-wai should have a deeper meaning in the movie.

What is Zhou Muyun thinking about here? There is a hint of terror. Some say it's a revenge-themed movie, I don't think so. I think Wong Kar-wai wants to express is always love. Love is born unconsciously, Zhou Muyun should never have imagined that he would fall in love with Su Lizhen in the end.

Zhou Muyun finally kept the secret in Cambodia

Finally, I want to say, cherish the people in front of you.

    Chow Mo-wan: They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.

    Ah Ping: What a pain! I'd just go to get laid.

    Chow Mo-wan: Not everyone's like you.

  • Caption: He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.
