The Law of Abuse Attraction

I like this movie very much, although the tone is very gloomy, emotional, and the plot is also very pure, but Wong Kar Wai always makes love very sad, and also more sentimental, making people a kind of sadistic attraction, just like letting Hua Hua in it. She and her cousin A'e didn't fall in love with each other vigorously. Maggie Cheung's existence was just a symbol of a stable life, and she was simply unable to pull Andy Lau out of trouble. It's not that she doesn't understand in her heart, but she is still willing to deceive herself in the persistence of love. "Don't say it twice, say it twice and I'll believe it." - People in love know that some vows will not be fulfilled, but they are still willing to believe them again and again. Until you can't tell whether you are deceiving yourself or being deceived. In the matter of love, Wong Kar Wai always handles it pessimistically. His pessimism, like Woody Allen, defines it as the art of regret. This line also lays the groundwork for the tragic ending of the character, which seems to be a faint farewell, until the scene of the corpse lying on the street, life and death are determined by fate.

As Tears Go By quotes

  • Wah: People like us don't have tomorrows

  • Wah: I did a lot of things for our godfather too. By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

    Fly: At least you were a hotshot for a while! But what about me? What about me? Everyone looks down on me. Does that make you happy? People think I'm nothing, like some stray dog just following you around! Did you know that? I'd rather be a hero for one day than go on being a fly all my life!
