fallen angel

Regarding this sister film of Chongqing Forest, I think it is not as untitled as Chongqing Forest but not as good as Shigemori. Maybe Faye Wong's casual performance is special, so the three actresses in this film also have a lot of Shigemori's easter eggs. The description of the story began to be more obsessed with lovelorn but only in the sadness of lovelorn. This is the difference between Shigemori and it also depends on personal preference. However, I personally think that the layers of Shigemori are richer and more varied, but for the same style, the next Blueberry Night and Spring Break should be Wong Kar-wai's splendid period to continue this style.
I still like the tone of Chongqing Forest the most. I once saw a female classmate go crazy at Takeshi Kaneshiro—about when Chibi was just released, I didn’t think so much at the time, probably because I hadn’t seen the films he made when he was younger. It's not that I like him young, but I like his temperament when he was young is better than now.

Fallen Angels quotes

  • He Zhiwu: I was very talkative when I was small. But at age five, I ate a can of pineapple that had expired, and I stopped talking. For that reason, I have very few friends.

    He Zhiwu: I found it very hard to find work too. I finally decided to be my own boss. Having no capital, the only thing I can do is sneak into other people's shops after hours and run my own business. I'm not a freeloader. I just think it makes sense, since the rent's already been paid, to run the business around the clock.

    He Zhiwu: Who says nobody buys pork at 3:00 a.m.? I came yesterday to buy some, didn't I? If you want to do business, you have to take each customer's needs into account.

    He Zhiwu: Buddha said, "If I don't descend into hell, who will?" When you're the boss, you have to be kind, caring and tolerant. You can't just look to your own gain. I know very well there's no such thing as a free lunch, so I always work very hard until the wee hours.

    He Zhiwu: I don't make a lot of money, but I'm happy.

  • He Zhiwu: I love ice cream. When I was little, an ice cream truck would stop by my house every day. I was always happy to see it. Once I asked my dad why he didn't drive an ice cream truck. He didn't answer. I later found out my mother had been run over by an ice cream truck.
