Someone once said that Wong Kar Wai's films are stories of lonely patients, but what does the loneliness in them belong to?
"Fallen Angel" is my favorite movie, and it is also one of his mid-term. Before that, there was "Chongqing Forest" and "Evil in the East", which were popular in the literary and art circles. After that, there was a "great master" who could be called a great success. But My favorite is still "Fallen Angels". The loneliness felt in it is the most intense.
Every frame of the Fallen Angels is so ambiguous and trance, as if each protagonist took medicine to see the world, and entered this world, which belongs to the carnival of lonely patients, hazy and blurred.
The killer played by Liming met his elementary school classmates on the bus and said to us, "Many people think that the killer has no friends, but in fact the killer also has elementary school classmates."
He casually took a picture with a woman and put it in his wallet, Say to every "acquaintance" that this is his wife and that he has a family. This may be a kind of helplessness, or it may also hide the desire in his heart to start a family and escape from this loneliness.
Dawn is a killer in this film and is tired of being a lonely killer, so he will leave so desperately when he encounters Karen Mok.
You may not think about how the goddess Li Jiaxin is masturbating, but it makes you see Li Jiaxin who is different from the past. Li Jiaxin's loneliness in this film is beautiful like a self-admiring rose. For Dawn, he has a love and desire for control beyond ordinary people, so she will kill her after Dawn leaves. She would also masturbate at night on the bed he left. This scene is extremely beautiful, and it is also the lonely appearance of Li Jiaxin.
Like a rose that blooms at night, it is gorgeous and cold.
My favorite is He Zhiwu played by Takeshi Kaneshiro. Maybe Dawn is cool enough and Li Jiaxin is beautiful enough, but He Zhiwu is the soul of the whole film. He was born with loneliness because he was a mute who wanted to communicate.
The whole night started out as a carnival by himself. He massaged dead pigs, stole ice cream trucks and did business without money at night, and even pulled the whole family to buy and sell by force, but he didn't know what loneliness was because he was always alone. Think of herself as a kind-hearted child who likes to communicate with people.
Until the Yang Caini he met, the night became noisy since then. He and her found the unscrupulous person, smashed the door and the window together. However, a blurred dream is a dream after all, and the dream is about to wake up after all. Caini Yang's departure made him a lonely patient again.
Two lonely people met, He Zhiwu, who was eager to communicate with others, was beaten to the ground, and Li Jiaxin, who lost the dawn, was drunk. Two lonely people bloom in the night as gorgeous as lonely summer flowers.
