Chongqing Forest

The first time I saw this movie was because I was attracted by its title.
Chongqing Forest.
A chic name.
like a fantasy. get lost in it.
Loop in an unnamed game. Inextricable.
The story tells two emotions. Each other is abrupt. And it proves the distance of love to each other.
...
Chongqing Forest. Can't tell where.
There may be such a city. accommodate such a mood.
dim. clutter. The strange night breath hypnotizes people. walk blindly. Or live in desperation.
Everyone has mixed emotions. Confused. Pain. silence. tired. desire. hapiness.
indistinguishable from each other.
They can have first and last names. It is also possible to survive without any marks.
Even in such a Chongqing forest, everyone will still find love. For a moment. one year. or longer.
...
two fates.
Those brief but real emotions light up each other. Break through the confusion.
Both men have been badly wounded by love. And once insisted on the hallucination in the heart. Reality wakes them up. No longer in love. For the fragile and irreparable, let them pass away in silence. And the two women they met when they were desperate and the tiny details they brought were enough for them to treasure with their hearts.
The two women have different personalities. a calm. a passion. But there is an unruly element in the bones. About love, they have different expressions. simple. or delicate. Always reflect the soft feelings in their hearts.
A can that says expired May 1, 1994. A song called California dreaming. Give each other a simple imprint. enough to warm the heart.
...
love everyone's smile in the video. In the empty life, become each other's dependence.
We will get lost in the Chongqing forest. will wake up at some point. pass by someone. germinate a love.

    Wong Kar-Wai's magical photography draws people into it from the very beginning. The story of the canned food is just an appetizer. From the second story, it goes completely crazy. It is so charming and beautiful. The music and the plot are integrated to the extreme. Every restaurant is so rich, and the four leading actors are really charming.

    Faye: Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
