Can't ask, can't let go

Ah, it's been ten years so fast.
Thinking about it, I caught up with the release of this film. Although I was still very young at the time, I had already started watching entertainment gossip. It was said that this film was made for 5 years, and Wong Kar-wai himself was very sad. Sometimes he sat silently on the set. , slowly wipe away the tears behind the sunglasses.

This film took a long time, a long time, a long time, everyone has almost forgotten the Mood for Love, and the tree hole in Angkor Wat.

The first time I watched this film, I watched it with shyness. It was the first time that the relationship between the two people and the entanglement between Bai Ling and Zhou Muyun could be so straightforwardly shown in the released version of the film. Seeing the young me blushed. I think this is probably the two of them together. At that time, I thought that Zhang Ziyi's legs were so beautiful, and the upward eyeliner was so charming.

Looking at the time, it was just ten years later, from 2004 to 2014 in a blink of an eye. Zhang Ziyi is no longer the Bai Ling she used to be, but Tony Leung seems to be the same Zhou Muyun who wore oily hair and acted on the scene.

I haven't seen this film again in the past ten years, but I have never forgotten it. The original soundtrack changed from MP3 to MP4, changed to mobile phone, changed from Motorola to Nokia and then changed to iPhone. There is always a corner to hear Sinboney.

Watching this movie again, I started to feel sad. Zhou Muyun still got nothing in this movie, although he was Santa Claus, wrote novels, wrote 2046 and then wrote 2047. But he never found what he wanted.

Let’s talk about the international chapter that impressed me the most.
Bai Ling ’s dangling eyeliner will no longer charm me. I just saw helplessness in Bai Ling and couldn’t woo me. I thought I found a real person, but in the end it was just a dream. , she was willing to give him everything she had, but thinking about it, she didn't save anything except her body.
But she was still angry, not for entanglement, but for herself.
I don't know why, when I look at Bai Ling again, I can always involuntarily bring Tai to Zhang Ziyi herself. Isn't this young, youthful woman a young, energetic, ambitious, and lustful Xiao Zhang. I thought that beauty was a pass that could be unimpeded, but I found that there were places that I couldn't get in. In the world of the 2046 novel, it is nothing but a shot. Just for a show.
In ten years, the small chapter of the year has become an international chapter, and it has also experienced a splash of ink and changed back to a domestic chapter. I have always disliked Xiaozhang. I remember the film review I gave back then. There was only one sentence "I don't like Zhang Ziyi", but after watching "The Grandmaster", I still like Gong Er. Maybe this is the current Xiaozhang. Resilient, not like the arrogance of the year. What doesn't change is that she always has a "breath".

Let's take a look at other people, from Carina Lau's Lulu, Gong Li's Su Lizhen, Faye Wong's Jingwen, Dong Jie's Jiewen, and flashy Maggie Cheung. They always come and go, and they disappear in the torrent of time.

In this film, Zhou Muyun is always alone. He comes, he leaves, and he disappears.

I always thought it was a romance film, about love, hate, and entanglement, but now it seems like it's just a confession.

If there is no love, no matter how helpless, it is better to act in a show sometimes, or to be Santa Claus sometimes. The most important thing is to pass the time and not lend your heart to others casually.

The recent Hong Kong movies I watched all repeatedly mentioned the phrase "When you come out to eat, what are you asking for too much?" This sentence is comparable to the phrase "The most important thing in being a human being is to be happy." landing requirements.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with acting on the scene, just don't give your sincerity to others.
It doesn't matter whether the past is kept in the heart or left in the tree hole.

I like Zhou Muyun played by Tony Leung very much. He is a complex and simple person, infatuated and promiscuous, forbearance and indulgence. He is just an ordinary middle-aged man, always looking for a balance, a contradictory balance in his messy life.

The Buddha said: There are eight kinds of suffering, suffering of birth, suffering of old age, suffering of sickness, suffering of death, suffering of resentment and hatred, suffering of being separated from love, suffering of not being able to seek, and suffering of inflamed five aggregates. Only when one’s body and mind is freed can one be freed from trouble, and when it is difficult to leave one’s body, all disasters can be turned into dust.

I and other mortals are unable to escape the eight sufferings, so I fell into the hell of reincarnation.
