The two stories make up the entire film "Chongqing Forest", which seem to be unrelated, but they are integrated. Both stories are actually saying the line at the beginning of the film, "Every day you have the opportunity to pass by a lot of people, and you may not know anything about them, but maybe one day he will become your friend or a friend. is a confidant". And if you look carefully, you will find that the characters in the back also appear in the front, but they are only from the back or the side, which is handled very well by the director.

"Chongqing Forest" - my favorite of all Wong Kar Wai's works. Every picture, every line, and every piece of music in the film is excellent and worth watching multiple times. When you look at it, I believe you will be immersed in it before you know it.

    The biggest surprise was Faye Wong, her eyes were full of aura, and her secret love acted very well. The lines are full of literary tones, making lovelorn poetic and sad.

    Cashier: You know what day it is today?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: April 30?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: There's still two hours to go.

    Cashier: Nobody would buy it. Get a fresh one.

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?

    Cashier: Buddy, I only work here. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading... How I wish cans wouldn't expire! It'd save me loads of work. You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!
