This is the first time I've watched [Chongqing Forest], but it's the most serious one. Wong Kar-wai's ideology is too strong, so I can understand a little bit this time. However, whenever I'm writing homework for this course, I It reminds me of the deconstruction that my teacher often talks about. Are there still discrepancies between all the film reviews and what Wong Kar-wai has in mind? Of course, just how big is the difference? When I was still purely an audience, I just couldn't understand [Chongqing Forest]. Until now, when I see things that are not much different from many film critics, I still doubt the distance between me and Wong Kar Wai. Even though our distance is not within 0.01 cm.

The story seems to move forward in two main axes, but behind Brigitte Lin there is Faye Wong, and there is Liang Chaowei near Takeshi Kaneshiro. There are not many characters named, except for Awu Afei, the lives of the four characters are destined to be marginalized. Still, the character setting is clear. The motif of the story, the penetration of the story, and the use of the scene are all within the scope of my understanding this time. I understand it through different photography techniques and monologues. Men have more monologues than women. It seems that women know what they want and men's heads Like late ripening. Then there are the symbolic metaphors, similes, and so on of material objects.

Brigitte Lin is an unknown character. In the visual and dialogue display, we call her a mysterious woman with blonde hair, raincoat and sunglasses. She seems indifferent, but she can't hide that she has a heart that is so warm and kind, and the little girl who was kidnapped was released. In the end, Takeshi Kaneshiro left and gave her a message-----Happy birthday! And the use of the lens of this mysterious woman is the most unstable of the four characters, holding the camera, dangling, telling us her mood Extremely uncertain. Also use more afterimages, is it to say that she is about to disappear and will remain in this world for a while longer? (I'll just say deconstruction is really troublesome and there's no standard answer.)

Takeshi Kaneshiro is Detective 223, a boy who is full of milk and smells dry, but he understands some things that maybe he should understand when he is 24 or 25 years old. He uses Awu to show that the fate between people is unpredictable, or something like a deadline. , Canned pineapples are used to express A Wu's longing for A Mei after breaking up. He constantly relies on the phone to communicate with the familiar outside world to get away from the edge, but he is still lonely. (Although loneliness refers to being alone, loneliness refers to a state of mind, which means that even if it is not lonely, it will still be lonely.) Ah Wu's loneliness is presented in blue tones, and there is not much shaking compared to the mysterious woman's lens , I don't know if it means that his loneliness has existed for a long time and gradually became accustomed to it.

"California Dreaming" by Mamas and Papas brought out Faye Wong's idea. Of course, the prerequisite is that you know this song, otherwise you just think it is a song that A Fei likes and often appears with her. This is a very suitable role for her to play. Faye Wong is so eloquent in the interpretation of songs in real life. A Fei is a very individual young woman, independent and thoughtful. It seems normal to help her clean her room because she likes someone. The problem is that 663 doesn't know it, so this behavior is voyeurism. (And it also violates the law and hinders personal freedom. Of course, it is too serious to say this.)

Agent 663 (The dialogue and subtitles in Mandarin 633 do not match!) Tony Leung, like A Wu, they are both brokenhearted people, and they have to use No matter how old the man is, it doesn't matter how old the man is, and they are all deceiving themselves. Women will come back to them, just like the man who sells the chef's salad who said that he knows you. The truth is. (Of course, women can also deceive themselves, but in this film, the people who lost their love are all men.) Just as Ah Wu is more stable than the mysterious woman, is the stabilization of 663 here to highlight Ah Fei's elusiveness? It is unknown.



After the Comments - About Fandom

If we don't pursue it, we're nothing.

Mamas and Papas's "California Dreaming" surrounds my ears, I want to go to the record store to buy the album, because there is a [Chongqing Forest] VCD.

Faye Wong’s [Split] MTV project plan mentioned in the previous articles is a second-year junior TV production work, centered on the director, so I, who are also the art props and lighting, cooperate fully and don’t get much. Knowing that the director is a Faye Wong fan, that's it. Now I found out that her idea came from the scene of A Fei in 663's home in [Chongqing Forest], and sure enough, a fan is a fan.

Many reviews of [Chongqing Forest] mentioned Haruki Murakami, yes, Haruki Murakami. He is one of the writers of literary books that many young students will turn over, and he has also become a popular indicator.

Because the people of this century live in misery?
No, it is emptiness.
I think we have lived a lot more material life than we had in the previous era, so we do not pursue food and clothing, so we insist on worrying. I am also a part.

The whispering Faye Wong, the nihilistic Haruki Murakami, the romantic Wong Kar-wai, and the intricate [Chongqing Forest] are the saviors of our age.

I am incompetent to keep the traditional thinking of the old times and blame the Sagittarius.
