"Evil in the East and Poison in the West" ()

The opening line: The Buddhist scriptures have a cloud: the flag has not moved, the wind has not blown, it is the human heart that moves by itself.

In fact, I prefer the English translation of the film's Chinese name "Evil in the East". Ashes of time. There is only one thing burned by the passage of time, and that is memory. Undoubtedly, this is a movie about memories. There is such a jar of wine in the film, called "Drunken Life and Dreaming of Death", it is said that after drinking it, you can forget everything; there is such a sentence in the film, "The more you want to know if you have forgotten, the more clearly you remember... …”.
In one's life, there will always be some loves that die prematurely before they can take root. The long-dead love was wrapped in layers of sand in the memory, tightened, and condensed into a small hard stone, choked in my heart. The feeling of pain always accompanies us. Beside the desolate sea, in the dim desert, Wong Kar-wai told us the most secret pain in his heart through the mouth of a killer.
If you never have the patience to finish watching this movie due to the entanglement of characters and plots in the film, it doesn't matter, you can go and revisit "East and West" again, because I believe its humor is more suitable for you; if you I used to or still like this movie that almost seems to be talking to myself, please don't laugh at the shallowness and paleness of my words, because I can't write the enchanting feeling in your heart, you don't need to say anything, Just revisiting the wind and clouds that change with time in this movie on a night with no one, and then quietly waiting for the dawn...
