If you can wander into the life you want

During the time I watched Carmen Mong Kok, I lived a playful lifestyle that was different from the usual one. In line with the mood at that time, I saw something about our way of life from the movie.

I am saddened to see that we may not be able to choose the lifestyle we love and have to live another life that brings us to tears from time to time. And, I think every lifestyle has a shelf life, and every now and then you get a musty stench. If we can really wander, then we can wander into a different life.

Sadly, we can't.


In "Carmen Mong Kok", Andy Lau's way of life is to fight and kill, and I don't know if I will be alive tomorrow. He said to Jacky Cheung: "I can get the settlement fee when I was fourteen, but how am I getting along now?" So Liu once liked his life, but when he got bored, he couldn't escape, and the end was death.


Sometimes, we like to look for something called faith in movies. But when we found that the contradictions in reality were irreconcilable in the movie, our hearts were cold.

    Even if the structure isn't great, it's pleasing to the eye most of the time. On the importance of taste. It is the right decision not to use Andy Lau in the future. Wong Kar Wai's debut novel. The lines are very Cantonese, which is different from the later movies. Hong Kong was very charming at that time. Rewatch. Cantonese. MOMA.

    Atypical Wong Kar-wai is the most sincere and rich in emotion. It's so raw and rough, it's heart-wrenching. There is no choice. Always saving others, but not saving yourself. Now that I see it, I think this is Wong Kar Wai's best.

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: I did a lot of things for our godfather too. By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

    Fly: At least you were a hotshot for a while! But what about me? What about me? Everyone looks down on me. Does that make you happy? People think I'm nothing, like some stray dog just following you around! Did you know that? I'd rather be a hero for one day than go on being a fly all my life!

  • Wah: I just wanted to say...I found that glass.
