I was so bored that I watched Chongqing Forest again. It was one of the few movies I watched and didn't delete, because I always felt that these movies, I would probably want to watch them again at some point. Exactly, I want to watch it again at this time.
Not long after the film started, it was a chance encounter between the two protagonists of the first story. They had different identities and did not know each other's identities. Although, at the end of the story, they still They don't know anything about each other. But I think, to a certain extent, or Wong Kar-wai wrote them as a pair of confidants. Like Takeshi Kaneshiro's confession at the beginning of the film, "Every day you have a chance. Passing by someone, you may not know anything about him. But maybe one day, he may become your friend or confidant". The film is indeed explained like this. Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin had the first contact, like As Takeshi Kaneshiro said, the distance between them was only 0.01 cm when they were closest. Could
this be a long distance? They are indeed very close physically, but the two strangers have never had contact at this time. The approach of the breath, and finally, felt incredible, two people walking (running) in two opposite directions. They were indeed very close, but immediately became so far away. Personally think. To a certain extent, the first short story It is a story about distance. At the end of the first story, Faye Wong and Takeshi Kaneshiro also had a contact with "the closest distance between me and her is only 0.01 centimeters". However, I don't know if they knew each other after that. Just think at least they don't know each other. As Takeshi Kaneshiro said, "I don't know anything about her. Six hours later, she fell in love with another man". The story here seems to express the sentence at the beginning of the film again. Just, pay attention to that sentence, "every day you have the opportunity to pass someone, you may not know anything about him. But maybe one day, he may become your friend or confidant". At the end of the story, just That "maybe" worked. He might be your confidant, maybe. You still don't know anything. Live in your own space, with your or his own memories. Also to a degree, will this be A kind of loneliness, or a kind of disappointment. There are too many possibilities in the world, and it is not our turn to make too many decisions.
Before Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin met, there was a very interesting scene, which was even regarded as a classic by many people. At the same time, it is regarded as a very funny picture by many people.
"From the day we broke up, I bought a can of pineapples that expired on May 1 every day."
"I told myself that when I bought 30 cans, if she didn't come back, the relationship would expire. "
On the morning of May 1st, I began to understand one thing, that is, in MAY's heart, there is no difference between me and this canned pineapple."
"Some people say that dogs are man's best friend, but why is there no difference between me and this canned pineapple?" At this time, it refuses to share my pain with me?"
To be honest, I have seen these scenes several times. It's not a very emotional reason, just because here, Takeshi Kaneshiro's The vocals and the acting are so cool...and fun. Especially talking to his puppy.
In fact, I personally think that these few shots reflect some of the confused things about the people in the city. Watch the whole movie It is not difficult to see that the protagonists in the story are basically alone from the beginning to the end, and have no friends. What Kaneshiro Takeshi did after eating 30 cans of canned food was to call girls to chat/love injuries It seems to be his only solution that must be resolved by love. Unfortunately, the answer given by the film is that this way is not so easy. The final decision of Takeshi Kaneshiro, who has no choice, is "I told myself, from this minute From the beginning, the first woman who comes in, I will like her." If you think about this seemingly romantic remark, it may actually feel a little desperate. I don't know if I can understand this sentence in this way, he decided No matter who he is, he can fall in love with her. In this way, it seems a bit crazy, or neurotic.
Takeshi Kaneshiro is not bad, he met Lin Qingxia in Wong Kar Wai's script. But there is no such good thing in reality, Maybe everyone we meet will not meet your requirements and will not give you the taste of love. Or maybe, we miss such a person and it is difficult to turn back. Or maybe, that person is by our side, waiting for you to quietly To discover, to search quietly.
As for search, I think there is a word that may be able to interpret another level of "seeking" from another angle.
The word "understanding" may be able to replace it like this.
In the film, there seems to be enough excavation for understanding, for example, what was said in Lin Qingxia's first confession. She said that she did not know when she became a very careful person, and every time she wore a raincoat, she would bring Put on your sunglasses.
From this sentence, we seem to see a person who hides himself, and on another level, each of us is such a careful person.
"You never know when When it rains, when will the sun come out.”
Too many uncertainties, too many unknowns, people living in modern times always seem to have no idea why they have to bear these things. So, I don’t know when, We started putting on raincoats and sunglasses at the same time.//In
the meeting between the two of them at the bar, Brigitte Lin did not deny Takeshi Kaneshiro that the woman wearing sunglasses was to cover her crying eyes. Yes, I must be serious Anyone who has seen this film will agree that she has cried.
The story of the film slowly comes to an end in Wong Kar-wai's conscious description,
"When the day was almost bright, I knew I should go."
And at the end , Kaneshiro Takeshi knew that he was destined not to forget this woman. Because she was a woman who told him a happy birthday on a lonely person's birthday. Well, it's hard for a person to forget someone who cares about him. Also because of her She cares, he will remember her for the rest of his life. Because lonely people yearn to care.
In fact, there is a phenomenon that is very interesting. It stands to reason that films like Wong Kar Wai (it should be regarded as a literary film, I personally don't think it is a romantic film) Too appropriate) It really won't be watched by many people, and for many, it may be too boring. No ups and downs in the plot, just a dark tone. The dialogues of the characters don't have much ups and downs, just mundane You come and go. The most surprising thing in the dialogue, I think, is that those people can always say something that seems to have a deep taste in their mouths.
But it's a little strange that Wong Kar Wai's films seem to be very popular. At least, there are still many people who can watch the film. Of course, Wong Kar Wai uses all the powerful and popular movie stars here. But the most important thing may not be Here, but in his repeated elaboration on urban emotional issues. Every time I talk about Wong Kar Wai, my first feeling is the night in the city. This seems to be not emphasized in his films, but I personally feel a little bit Appropriate. I won't say too much here.
Well, after writing this, I finally wrote down my general feeling about the first story. However, there are still many places that I want to talk about that I haven't been able to talk about, many details, many I think the dialogues are all very interesting. But my organizational skills seem to be too poor, I can't write well...I have the opportunity to write again, haha I also want to have the opportunity to write the second story, um, let's see when I'm in the mood , feel it, hehe.
