Alfie has only one

Watching Wong Kar-wai's films is always vague, perhaps this gradually relieved my symptoms of being too curious about everything.
This is no longer the era of "100,000 whys", and not seeking further understanding should be elevated to a positive attitude towards life.
Ah Fei played by Leslie Cheung made me like him more than before. Before his death, I was not interested in his movies, his music, his stories, etc., until I really calmed down and watched it. Alfie's True Story.
His face was expressionless and childlike, innocent and stubborn. His body was not strong but revealed an explosive force of forbearance. He turned his back and left the sight of her Filipino biological mother. . . I just wanted to see what she looked like. Since he couldn't get her wish, then he wouldn't let her do as she wished. With a capricious back, maybe the footless bird decided to fly from that moment on. There is no reason to persist or become decadent. Life will never stop, and the train will derail one day. Who cares when the footless bird will land.
Many people inevitably compare Leslie Cheung with Tony Leung. In fact, any comparison between them is meaningless. One is dead and the other is alive. The dead one has become a classic. After all, there are still many possibilities for the living. If I have to compare, I think I like Zhang Meiyu's stubbornness more. I can vaguely see his life from his performances. He chooses his own life, no matter if he loves women or men, or how he ends his life. Only people with a very strong inner world have the courage to face death, although they look more or less decadent.
Wang Jiawei is really very discerning in selecting people. Zhang's A Fei should be unmatched in the past few hundred years. Although Tony Leung's final appearance is similar to A Fei, his aura is completely wrong. . His temperament is still more suitable for the Mood for Love, and he also doesn't have too many expressions, but there is a sullen temperament between his eyebrows.
Liang is more like a bystander, while Zhang is like a peacock with an open screen. It is difficult to say who is better than the other, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Since the Blueberry Night, I'm not sure whether Wong Kar-wai can still make films like "Chongqing Forest", "The True Story of A Fei", and "Fallen Angels".
