As expected of Wong Kar Wai

Wong Kar Wai's films have a unique charm

cyberpunk wind

how he makes you feel

Away from the world but close to reality

To be exact, because of the story of the streets of Hong Kong filmed by Wong Kar-wai

Made my love for Hong Kong a little more

For example, eating fish ball rice noodles on the street

"Passion" Lin Yilian's BGM is accompanied by the following shots

It's so classic

Cousin find A'e

a series of shots

Play music from coin

By bus by boat

Holding hands and kissing at the phone booth

A sense of intoxication in one go

This BGM Taigang is so good

Mong Kok Carmen (1988)
7.8
1988 / Hong Kong / Crime Drama Romance / Wong Kar Wai / Andy Lau Jacky Cheung

I didn't know why it was called Mong Kok Carmen, but I just thought the name was so nice. Later, I learned that Carmen means "Karmen", which means tragedy, which means that everyone's fate is actually doomed.

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: People like us don't have tomorrows

  • 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!
