Origin of the film title: "Carmen in Mong Kok" is another story. It tells the story of a young scout who likes a dancer and puts the story of Carmen in Mong Kok. But a few actors mistakenly thought I was filming that story. When the reporter asked them what they were filming, they said it was "Carmen Mong Kok". Originally, I wanted to correct it before the show, but everyone felt that there was nothing wrong, so the misunderstanding continued. ——Le Zheng: "Wong Kar-Wai on "Mong Kok Carmen", "Film Biweekly", No. 241, June 16, 1988
Probably because Maggie Cheung's cousin E's emotional line is similar to Carmen's story, so I don't think it's wrong.
As tears go by is a song written by Rolling Stones frontman Mike Jagger to his lover Marianne faithful in the 1960s. Girls' Generation's Marianne sang this song to become famous, then was abandoned, and it was often sung on subsequent albums until old.
Film review:
Andy Lau said that my favorite type of woman can be said to be Maggie Cheung in "Carmen in Mong Kok".
If you don't want something, it will become someone else's in the next second.
The fly said I'd rather be a hero for a day than a fly for a lifetime.
Individual Heroes vs People's Heroes
I didn't choose the turbulent life, the turbulent life chose me
Life is simply out of their control, just like love out of their control
Although it is Wong Kar-wai's early works, his creative style can already be clearly seen - the dilute of the plot and the exacting of details
It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, It is our choices.
