Watching such a slow-paced movie in today's fast-paced fast-food society, as an audience, my most intuitive feeling is tiredness.
The long cheongsam Su Lizhen has the unique charm of the Shanghai women of that era, and Zhou Muyun's suit is straight and elegant. The whole film exudes a strong sense of the times.
The story of the movie is very simple, with a simple plot, a simple relationship between characters, and a simple dialogue. At least for someone like me who likes stories, it's too boring.
But there are still a few things I like about the movie. The subtitles from the beginning to the end of the movie are set off against a strong red background, and the white fonts are simply and rudely typed, which also echoes the "In the Mood for Love", which is enthusiastic and infused with vitality. Under the lens of Du Kefeng and Li Pingbin, the strong color collision also made the picture of the movie suffocating. With the soundtrack that appeared at the right time, the emotions of the characters became more intense, the image of the characters was deepened, and the whole film was enhanced. The ornamental and artistic quality of the work. In the movie, the other two protagonists, who almost only appear with voice or back, are also a major feature of the movie. Every time a dialogue screen appears, they just point the camera at Su Lizhen and Zhou Muyun, which makes people wonder about the other two hidden behind the camera. Characters are curious. In addition, the most impressive thing in the whole movie is that on Su Lizhen's birthday, her husband in Japan ordered Zhou Xuan's "In the Mood for Love" for her. Su Lizhen and Zhou Muyun, who was powerless with a rice cooker, were only separated by a wall. It makes people look helpless and sigh.
