"Chongqing Forest" won awards such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Art Direction and Best Styling Design. Although no accurate data has been found in terms of box office numbers, there are reports that fans are competing for bets. The film exceeded 30 million.
Ah Wu's canned pineapple
film pays great attention to the depiction of time points. Especially in the process of He Zhiwu's lovelorn, there were repeated changes in the calendar, the date of the canned food, and the "expiration date" that was regarded as a classic by people. "From the day we broke up, I bought a can of canned pineapples that expired on May 1st, because pineapples are May's favorite food, and May 1st is my birthday. I tell myself, when When I buy 30 cans, if she doesn't come back, this relationship will expire."
Ah Wu's attachment to canned pineapples is a reluctance and nostalgia for a past relationship. He complained to the clerk why the cans of pineapples due on May 1 were taken away. To cherish a person will copy his life and record his habits, because May loves to eat canned pineapple, and Wu can't do without canned pineapple. Later, canned pineapple became a kind of miss. With canned pineapples, it seems that May has not left.
The film portrays A Wu's world with a strong sense of loneliness. Life, in addition to canned pineapples, is phone calls and running. The dialogue on the phone is to explain the progress of the emotional world. In He Zhiwu's relationship, his girlfriend May never appeared. In the film, He Zhiwu's love affair is always described as the scene where he is talking on the phone. And running is to stay away from the sadness of lovelorn. Ah Wu never shed tears, because he repeatedly said: "Running can evaporate the excess water in the body, so that there will be no tears."
Later, he met a strange blonde woman. She said, "Actually, knowing a person doesn't mean anything. People can change. Today he likes pineapples, and tomorrow he can like other things." Has Ah Wu ever loved a blonde woman? It doesn't matter if you don't know. But Ah Wu escaped from a lost relationship the day he started at 25. "I was born at six o'clock in the morning, and I will be 25 in two minutes. In other words, I have been in this world for a quarter of a century, and at this historic moment, I go to I have been very successful in evaporating the excess water from my body by running." "On May 1, 1994, a woman told me 'Happy Birthday', because of this sentence, I will always remember it. Live this woman. If memory is a can, I hope this can will not expire; if I have to add a day, I hope it is '10,000 years'. The
resonance element
film abruptly transitions to the next relationship. Now I still have some doubts about this narrative method.
But what is consistent with Ah Wu's attitude towards romance is: "If you love someone, you will pay attention to any details of him. "Faye Wong's love story with Tony Leung has many details that seem exaggerated but resonate with the audience.
Faye Wong sneaks into the home of his crush to search for every detail of his life. A plaid shirt that appears repeatedly in the film, when he was in California was wearing this while waiting for her.
She tried to change his past. She cleaned, bought all the new groceries, towels, soap, and even changed the sardine labels. Of course he found it too, wondering "why is the raw fish?" turns into sardines. "
She fantasized that she was his girlfriend, secretly put on her ex-girlfriend's aviation uniform, and then looked for other girls' long hair on the bed with a magnifying glass, and then hysterically, even questioned on the street.
Tony Leung would confront soap, towels, toys. Dogs and shirts talk. According to the projection theory of psychology, inexplicable talking to oneself is the adjustment and release of oneself, especially when it is injured, talking to oneself actually speaks to oneself. Make yourself feel better. It
seems The absurd plot actually projects everyone's true self. Ask yourself, have you secretly done something stupid that no one knows about?
Unique soundtrack
The use of music is superb. Everyone has a different theme music. The moods of the four protagonists are expressed in different music. Faye Wong's "Memories of California" has become a classic. This song is what she listened to in the store, which is the main theme of her life, her dream in her heart, or her yearning for the future: it implies that she did not go to a California bar for an appointment, but escaped to California, USA, Give this relationship a year of hope.
She met Tony Leung after listening to "Memories of California", and she began to pay attention to him, but she pretended not to care. In the middle alternately came the lingering music of Tony Leung and the flight attendant girlfriend.
Then she sneaks into his house, and the music becomes cheerful and hopeful, as if a new continent has been opened up. Even if you are busy, you are very happy, it is the kind of little happiness that secretly rejoices. Later, Tony Leung officially asked her out. Her dialogue was short and her face was expressionless, but the music had completely revealed the joy and excitement in her heart. The music has always led the character's mood to change, which has a very unique performance effect.
Looking back to analyze the blond woman at the beginning, the soundtrack is mysterious and confusing, and the dimly swaying footage is her life, which is precarious. The gang of Indians who escaped in the middle, accompanied by Indian music, hinted at their own small plans and plans.
He Zhiwu has no soundtrack, he is always clean monologues and phone calls. In addition to the sound of the fight where he was chasing and killing the wanted criminal, it was the noise of life scenes, which made him seem particularly lonely. Even though the soundtrack at the bar is light, there is no joy.

Postscript:
I watched this film a total of 4 times, and found that in different emotional and age stages, you will see different stories and moods.
The first time I saw this movie, I was in junior high school, I couldn't read it, I fell asleep.
The second time I watched it was because I saw a lot of so-called classic lines on the Internet, and I watched it again.
Later, I was entangled in emotional issues, and when I watched it, it resonated a little.
The fourth time is today to write a movie review.
Question:
Why is it called Chongqing Forest?
Classic dialogue:
Tony Leung said to the soap: "The whole thing is flat, why bother, you have to have confidence in yourself."
He said to the towel: "I told you not to cry, how long will you cry? Be strong. , look at you, lie down like a vegetable, what is it like?" "Let me help you" (wring out the towel and hang it up) "Are you feeling more comfortable now?"
Said to the cloth toy: "Why don't you say anything? Ah?" "Don't be mad at her."
Liang said to the white long-haired dog: "Everyone has a time when they are not awake, give her a chance, okay?"
Liang said to the shirt, "Aren't you lonely? "It's only a few days? You don't need to make it like that." "Is it cold? Come, let me warm you up" Liang began to iron his clothes.
After Faye Wong secretly did the housework, Tony Leung said to himself
: "Don't give up on yourself. You were fine a while ago, how could you be so fat?! Although she's gone, you still have to see her. People, don't indulge yourself anymore, lose weight"
and said to the towel: "Do you know that I want to scold you for a long time, you have changed a lot, you have to be a person, whether she comes back or not, you should not Change yourself, and reflect on yourself." Watching it cry makes me happy, because no matter how its appearance changes, it's still a sentimental towel.
He said to Buhu: "Don't think I'm more optimistic, I think many things have become beautiful, I used to think you were stupid, but now you look pretty cute, but don't make yourself dirty Well, isn't it good to be white in the past, why do you want to make it yellow and yellow, look, there is still a big scar, are you fighting with someone?"
He said to his shirt: "Why are you hiding here, do you know? Know that I've been looking for you for a long time? It's useless to hide here, let's face the reality. You look moldy, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be free to bask in the sun for you. "
