After watching the entire film with psychedelic colors, my first impression is that it is real.
I don't know whether the city of Hong Kong is too far away from me or the characters in it are too rare around me. Instead, I feel that the characters are very real, and Wong Kar-wai seems to tell me a common urban story. Seeing these neurotic characters and strange links, I can feel that they are ordinary people as ordinary people.
I like to see the contrast between these characters in the movie, the killer is ruthless and ruthless but can't avoid old school greetings for sales. In fact, one of the things that excites me is that in our real world, in the crowds that we pass by every day, everyone has magical experiences and special skills. There is a very popular word called "abstinence". In my eyes, everyone has this style. On the surface, the clothes and shoes are bright and uniform, like different products with slightly different differences, but in fact their physical Firm or loose, scarred or smooth and white, not to mention their minds. The thought of this makes me shudder with excitement. I acted in a play before, in which there was a manic man who said to another mental patient who was about to be cured, "You don't like it, you hide it deeply, but I love them miserably." The maniac didn't believe in the doctor's therapy , forcing others to face the bloody pain, and after blowing off those disguised shells, the patients were relieved. First of all, let's talk about Ah Wu's dumbness. If that sentence about Wong Kar-wai's making movies to tailor his roles for actors is true, then Ah Wu is too cute. He jumped onto the pig's back to massage others, forced to wash their hair, and forced to sell ice cream. Ordinary people usually act as if they are crazy when they encounter a lunatic. This also makes me want to rub my face with a paper knife. To pretend to be a lunatic forces one to deviate from the norm.
Indifference is the atmosphere that the entire movie is building.
The tone of the whole film is dark, with some complicated cool colors, such as green and blue. Even red is not a warm color. For example, Li Jiaxin's killer partner, she wears bright lipstick and bangs cover nearly half of her face, but her face is expressionless. The only clear line is the gasp and scream during masturbation.
There are a lot of wide-angle shots in the film. Such wide-angle shots stretch the characters into strange proportions, making the distance between people elongated, and the figures and distances between people become distorted. This distortion is actually an exaggeration of small facts.
Most of the music is metal, and the friction of metal and the babbling of women are heard.
Looking at the characters, everyone's appearance in the film is a bit abrupt, so that the estrangement and conflict between the characters can be more felt. And the characters are indifferent but paradoxically close to each other.
The killer can be said to be the most indifferent character in the whole film. Perhaps because of his uncontested laziness in his character, he is unwilling to pay in interpersonal relationships. He takes a step forward to get close to people. He buys family photos and buys them. Identity, killer seems to be a very suitable career for him. After shooting again and again, he turned off his concern for humanity, his respect for one life, and of course he turned off his curiosity about other individuals. In this kind of work that doesn't require him to think, he becomes more and more lazy, so in the end the killer must be killed. He has lost the ability to make his own decisions, the ability to take the initiative to get close to people. He has been hurting others, and his non-rejection is a kind of injury. I think his occupation will have a certain influence on these behaviors of him. After he left his 1818 lucky number "forget him", he cut off the relationship with a person who had never had an intimate relationship at all. He wanted to separate from Karen Mok, but still sent her home. Some would say it's out of politeness, it's out of gentleness, but I hate these people. I prefer a decisive parting, or just chop it off with a knife, and don't cut it off. I am an independent person, not a giant baby, I can take care of myself, please don't hurt me by caring about me.
The love between him and Karen Mok and Li Jiaxin is all the wishful thinking of women towards men. That scene of Karen Mok crying in the stairwell was particularly impactful. The kind of man who wanted to hug and love so much that he wanted to tear it apart was standing in front of him, but he could only step back. He couldn't take a step forward at all. Blocking the wall, no retreat, no close, almost crazy.
"You still called me Baby at that time" is the saddest thing than falling in love with an indifferent person. Like a moth bound by a cobweb, the more it struggles, the more futile it becomes. You finally mustered up the courage and imagined the whole process as a waltz, but the other party was just watching the fire from the other side, watching your one-man show.
The dumb is even more unable to tell, this role is more anxious and distressed for him. His role itself is full of conflict. A boy who loves to talk and socialize with people, but because he accidentally ate an expired canned pineapple, he couldn't open his mouth to express his enthusiasm. That long shot with Caini Yang was heartbreaking. The rain slammed on the glass in front of the two of them, like tears that kept falling from their hearts. The distance between the two is less than 0.01 mm, but each has a ghost in his heart. Dumb kept trying to get close beside him, but silence, black and white kept pouring on his head like cold water.
Indifference is a vicious circle, because we have been hurt. From an evolutionary perspective, we learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, constantly summarize mistakes, and avoid suffering the same pain again. However, these weapons are like thick layers of cocoons, and no amount of surprises can provoke a pupil-dilated response. When we say we don’t love each other, we actually want it more than anyone else. Like kindergarten children, they will be praised for being polite to each other. But I was so scared that I would die, so I simply didn't fight for it.
But everyone still retains his tenderness, and I don't like that everything goes to the bad side. I don't want people to take these so-called experiences to verify them again and again after they are hurt, and then give up their lover and stop exercising their abilities in this area. Planting a negative fruit in consciousness and waiting for it to sprout, you are tightly bound by these vines.
Filling the world with love will always be ridiculed by some people, but nothing can stop us from yearning for a better heart. Even though the wings of angels are huge, they will scrape and collide with each other, but they can still keep each other warm and shield from wind and rain.
