The soundtrack "Passion" runs through the mood of the character played by Andy Lau throughout the film, which is great. Wong Kar-wai's personal film style in "Carmen Mong Kok" has not yet been fully formed. Although there are night scenes, night scenes are not the mainstream color of the entire film. There are also pictures during the day. When Maggie Cheung and Andy Lau bid farewell during the day, the picture was bright.
This movie is a gangster movie, mixed with love with women. Brothers and women still choose brothers to practice the loyalty of gangster movies.
The film is experimental, combining photography and video. I think the most powerful thing in this movie is when Andy Lau dragged Maggie Cheung to the phone booth, the camera shot not only slow motion, but also stopped and showed us a paused picture. This is rare in Chinese films. Photography technology is combined with imaging technology: photos give us the feeling of being infinite, the past and the reality coexist. It seems that at that moment, the love between Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung stopped. When we looked at it, it foreshadowed the separation in the future, but it still made us stop at that moment. After watching this movie, when I think of "Carmen Mong Kok", there is still a sense of the picture before the phone court in my mind.
In addition, this ending is also worth thinking about: a large description of love, but it is pushing Andy Lau to death. This is actually an important reason why this movie is unforgettable for me, he grasped my emotions, and then castrated my emotions: love but not.
