The music of "In the Mood for Love" is a highlight worthy of study, and several unique violin songs make people obsessed.
Lovelorn must watch "Chongqing Forest", because it can be cured, but never watch "In the Mood for Love", because the violin can be broken.
In addition, there are many opera singing, but don't underestimate those traditional things, it is those ubiquitous ancient traditions that imprison Su Lizhen in the moral shackles, unable to move.
But this article focuses on a few classic foreign songs, which are used just right, which very aptly confirms the emotional development of the two.
It was the first time that Zhou Muyun and Su Lizhen learned that their other half was cheating. On the way home, there was a beautiful long shot of the back. The background music was a Latin American song "Say I Love You Te Quiero Dijiste".
Lyrics meaning:
Manequita linda de cabellos de oro cute doll blonde hair De dientes de perlas labios de rubi pearl teeth ruby lips Dime si me quieres como yo te quiero will you love me as much as I love you Si de mi te acuerdas como yo de ti will you think of me as if I miss you A veces escucho often hear Un eco divino mysterious whispers Que envuelto en la brisa as if surrounded by the breeze Parece decir speaks Si te quiero mucho i love you very mucho mucho mucho very very very much
...
From the tune of this song, what we can hear is that both of them were missing the past with their lover, and Zhou Muyun began to feel a little bit of heartbeat in the face of Su Lizhen's pitiful appearance. The beginning of this relationship , Zhou Muyun is obviously the more active party.
The two had dinner for the second time, ordering each other's partner's favorite dishes, and the background song was called "Green Eyes Aquellos Ojos Verdes".
Lyrics meaning:
Aquellos ojos verdes those green eyes de mirada serena, how serene dejaron en mi alma remains in my heart is eterna sed de amar. The longing for eternal love Anhelos de caricias, the longing for caress de besos y ternuras. kisses and tenderness De todas las dulzuras and their que sabían brindar. All sweetness
...
In this exchange, although they played the role of each other's partners, they have actually developed feelings for each other, hoping to comfort each other's injured hearts. Later, Zhou Muyun booked a room in the hotel. He hoped that Su Lizhen would communicate with him in 2046. After using the song "Green Eyes" again, he still had a gentle expectation.
One of the most moving songs was before Zhou Muyun left Hong Kong for Singapore. He was waiting for Su Lizhen's answer, and he didn't answer the phone. He only asked in his heart, "It's me, if you have another ticket, would you Will you come with me? ", the song used at this time was "Quizas Quizas Quizas Maybe Maybe Maybe".
Lyrics meaning:
Siempre que te pregunto I keep asking you over and over again Que cuando, como y donde When, where, and how Tu siempre me respondes You always say Quizas, quizas, quizas. Maybe, maybe, maybe Y asi pasan los dias The days fly by Y yo desesperando My despair grows Y tu, tu contestando And you, you answer Quizas, quizas, quizas. Maybe, maybe, maybe Estas perdiendo el tiempo You're wasting your time Pensando , pensando thinking about Por lo que mas tu quieras thinking about what you need most Hasta cuando, hasta cuando... But when will this choice end?
...
I used to listen to this song because I didn't understand the lyrics, but I just felt that the tune was beautiful, and I had a helpless regret, but after reading the lyrics, I realized that it was just written specifically for the two of them, "The time just flew by, My despair is growing, and you still answer like this, maybe, maybe, maybe, you're wasting your time, when will this choice end?"
After reading the lyrics, you may be able to understand why Zhou Muyun had to flee.
In 1963, Su Lizhen went to Singapore and called Zhou Muyun, but she did not speak. The song "Quizas Quizas Quizas Maybe Maybe Maybe" was used again. This time, Su Lizhen was obviously still hesitant and missed the opportunity.
The third use was in 1966. Zhou Muyun returned to Hong Kong and stood in front of Su Lizhen's door for a while, but he didn't have the courage to knock on the door, "When will this decision end?"
It may be difficult for people to understand now, the reserved and cowardly Chinese people in the 1960s, of course, have historical reasons.
There is a subtitle at the end:
"Those years that have disappeared are like a piece of dusty glass that can be seen and cannot be grasped. He has been thinking about everything in the past. If he can break through the dusty glass, he will walk back to the long gone years."
It can also be seen from this text that the core of "In the Mood for Love" is actually very close to "Evil and Poison in the West". We can imagine what Zhou Muyun said to the cave in the Angkor Kiln. It is possible that he would say:
"I once had a beautiful love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. When I looked back, I had no regrets. If God gave me another chance, I would say three words to that woman, I love you."
But if this sentence is said, it is obviously vulgar, and silence is heartbreaking and meaningful.
"In the Mood for Love", "Evil in the East and West Poison" and even "Journey to the West" all talk about the "feeling of love" and are also "the ashes of time", but "In the Mood for Love" is more pathetic and restrained.
The movie begins with a subtitle:
"It was an embarrassing relationship. She kept her head down in shame and gave him a chance to approach. He didn't have the courage to approach. She turned around and left."
This subtitle corresponds to the picture when the two broke up. The text itself is not very good, but it is placed at the beginning of the film, which is equivalent to spoilers at the beginning. This narrative technique is very confident and very close to the literary masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude". first sentence:
"Many years later, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía will recall the distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice."
This sentence contains the past, present and future three time and space, the kind of loneliness that has traveled through a hundred years is vivid on the paper.
Zhou Muyun and Su Lizhen are also lonely. Most of the characters in Wong Kar Wai's films are lonely. The King of Sunglasses is also lonely, and not many people know him.
