Such a beautiful and indifferent encounter

It was her senior year to read Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest". She came up to the dormitory and was nervously tidying up the messy desk. With great difficulty, she threw the seven or eight novels she was reading on the table into the closet, pretending to be Looking at her casually, she showed a faint smile that understood and did not let go.

It doesn't matter, anyway, sooner or later, we will see the truth.

The roommate just finished falling in love with Shunji Iwai and changed to Wong Kar Wai. I casually passed on the "Chongqing Forest". In the next one and a half hours, Jin Chengwu and Lin Qingxia, Liang Chaowei and Faye Wong, these two encounters were like a drizzle, but they were just lightly sultry, but after watching it, I realized that it would be hard to forget. The same is true for her. Until the sound of the dream, she and I were closely attached to each other, and for a while I forgot that it was just a play.

I like Faye Wong's wanton bravery and the emotions of a little woman, but I don't understand Tony Leung's insensitivity and sudden thoughts. Later, how did he realize the attachment in his heart and wait for Faye Wong, or it was just a short-term purpose that he found temporarily, I admit that I think too much and always think about the future. However, rather than Jin Chengwu receiving Lin Qingxia's blessing and saying that he will always remember this woman, I prefer to think that it is a kind of relief that he deliberately said to himself that he misses May, who is used to being together.

Good things often come with regrets, encounters are always plain and indifferent, you can swear without carrying anything, but true love is like tearing the heart and lungs. Several of Wong Kar-wai's films have impressed me so much, but the reason why I prefer "Chongqing Forest" is outside the film.

Who wants to always look back on their scars, but often remember those ashes in a trance. "Chongqing Forest", after repeated thoughts, it is determined that it is just a play, so this is enough.
