There are some symbols called love-also on Wong Kar-wai and "2046"

I broke up with her for 23 days. Every day, just surfing the Internet, staring in a daze, listening to music, reading a book, and simply composing life. It is meaningless for me to have her without her, because some symbols are gradually disappearing from emotions, and then those blue or gray memories are slowly detached from the pale life, and replaced by red. Or black bruises, neither pain nor healing, I know that love is far away from me.

In other words, to me now, love is more like a closed door. People outside cannot enter my heart, nor can I see if there is a wonderful future outside. So saying the word love always feels very heavy. On the other hand, Wong Kar-wai is an exception. He always subtly persuades young people to fall in love more often, which seems to have become a stereotype in his movies. Although this kind of love is just some sweet, sad, romantic and blurred consciousness symbols, the more you deny its truth, the more people will forget to believe that it can be eternal. So whenever I think of or forget the word love, I use Wong Kar-wai's movies to stimulate myself. No, it happens to catch up with "2046".

Most people's common understanding of Wong Kar Wai's movie is that it is obscure. In fact, if you grasp the master key of love, all his movies may be just concealed doors. Just turn some symbols and they will be easily opened. Maybe you can get the thrill of brain teasers. "2046" has the wisdom to satisfy the audience's thrill, even though it is simple, there is only one lock from beginning to end, and that is "In the Mood for Love". In addition, Wong Kar-wai seems to have a heart to miss Leslie Cheung, which may be regarded as a kind of respectful condolences. A man is reminiscing about a woman, this is the whole plot of the whole movie, one more word is a waste. There is no intricate and confusing plot, and a common fantasy is added, which is completely monotonous under the charming and enchanting dazzling of high-tech. Although the plot is simple, it is not boring. There are so many symbols that Wong Kar-wai wants to express. The symbols are crowded and dazzling. It's a pity that most of these symbols are still old faces. It is inevitable that Wong Kar-wai is a Jiang Lang ruminating old scripts. However, "2046" does not prove that he is exhausted because of this. This is still an authentic Wong Kar-wai. A style movie, struggling, winding around, sensationalistically talking about love. It can be seen that Wong Kar Wai's style has not changed. In the pattern where the whole world is advancing with the times, "2046" can be regarded as a strange flower, exuding the unique charm of the years as always.

When the end of my love and the beginning of "2046" passed by, my spirit began to concentrate, even though I didn't know anything about it, and two hours later, I found that love was close to me again.

[Ongoing: Tree Hole and Memory]

Love is a secret, find a tree hole and hide it. That hole connects the bottom of my heart and mind. When a person wants to have a secret, then go find a love, a love that runs through the heart, a love that takes root in the mind.
Love is a memory, some people forget it quickly, but some people take a long time. The only thing that Tony Leung can do is to go to 2046. The more he wants to forget, the more clearly he will remember, because he can no longer own it, and that extra ticket carried him on the boat of life. Go, wobbly. At the beginning of the film, I also embarked on the train to 2046. Although it was wet, I arrived soon. Perhaps it was because the symbols were already far away from me. I waved my sleeves and my memory was like a cloud of smoke. Scattered from my palm. Tony Leung was not as cruel as I was. He just casually cut a deeply loved woman into three pieces in his memory, and then, each attacked, possessed, abandoned, replaced, phantom love...

[her name, Cheongsam and novel]

Memories are often loose. Unless it is unforgettable, many things are difficult to remember, but sometimes, one minute can be remembered for a lifetime. It's relatively easy to remember a person. Lovers are just some symbols, her name, her dress, her hobbies... After losing her, these symbols will be transformed. What an empty symbol. He cannot fall in love with a woman whose name is the same as her, nor will he fall in love with the body of a woman with the same attractive waistline as her, nor will he fall into the emotions of a woman who likes to write novels like her and cannot extricate himself from it. . He will never reach 2046, even though he tries to get close infinitely. Even if he can put down these symbols in his memory, he will never forget her, 1 hour, 10 hours, 100 hours...

[Past tense: footless bird]

rose, opium, coffee, wine, waterfall, Tree holes, boat tickets, peach blossoms, bird cages, drunken
lives , sunglasses, killers, expired cans, airplanes, California, watches, footless birds... everything has bombed our love, shrapnel stuck in our memory, or risked It is dangerous to pull out, or live with a dull pain.

[Time and Gloves]

I pass by with many people every day, and people are just a group of labels coming and going, satisfying and hurting each other, gathering and dispersing, or separating and reunion. If one day, let me meet someone in a strange place. The woman with the same name, I don't know if I will be moved by it. Is it possible to leave a domineering kiss, and then decisively leave, as for whether there are too many tickets is no longer important. The only important thing is maybe the hand hidden in the black glove. The ticket belongs to me. I can tear it off anytime and anywhere. But the hand belongs to her. I really want to know its true or false.
I no longer believe in love that has anything to do with time, such as forever, forever, promise, waiting... Until I lost love, I realized that I would lose sight of the future more and more. Wang Jiawei once again showed me the love that passed, the sadness that was burned in the ashes of time. In the illusion of the movie, the men are melancholy and deep, the women are crying, and it is inevitable that they will not experience a sad sympathy without feeling. Sadness, time is always moving forward, and all love is left behind and it is difficult to start again.

[Sex and Money]

First, men want women, and then women want men. This seems to have nothing to do with love. It is entirely due to the primitive reproductive impulse and the inevitable irreconcilability of men and women in nature. In "2046", this instinctive impulse is quantified into ten yuan and ten yuan bills, which are stored in a box under the bed. It is considered that a man puts his love in a woman's place. After all, a woman is just a substitute. It's like when I went to the pawnshop and found my beloved cheongsam. I used the money to redeem my cheongsam and I liked it for two days. I found that it was not as good as the previous one. Then I just threw it away. Best to return to the pawnshop. Obviously, a man will not lend his heart for too long. Sex has become the quantum of love, a nucleus of lethal energy, which detonates the contradictory harm of men to women. Once this relationship is exploded with skin and hairlessness, banknotes have become men's relief medicine, but they have become women's love wine; sex has become a woman's piercing, but it has become a man's love network.

[Robots and Fabrication]

Stories are all made up, and so is love, but two people make up together. When she babbles and talks, you know she has love. When you talk, she takes notes, and when necessary, she adds something. When you forget what you have said, she will take out the written things and say: Look, this is our love. At this time you will find that you have nothing to say in the face of the love in front of you.
In the end, love that you can't get is the longest, and love that is imagined in memory is the best. In fantasy, love can be perfect, gorgeous, tender and considerate, and the only thing you have to do is to try to convince yourself that it is real. The robots in "2046" help us believe this reality on every train to 2046. Since you can’t forget, why not go back to the past, but the illusory dream can only make people infinitely close to the perfect past, but it can never be true, no matter what way you fall asleep, count the sheep, 993 , 994...Mutual warmth at midnight, 1224, 1225...or motionless with tears, 10 hours, 100 hours, 1000 hours...
I would rather let her be a little speechless, slow to walk, with a cold body, Robots with stagnant tears. When making up love, I will only tell her the secret, I will try to get into her memory, let her feel the dampness in my heart, and realize the warmth that never rusts. It's a pity that we are all human beings, and we may believe this is not true.

[Laughs in a

flash ] It is a laugh in a flash, you are still young.
Before love, we are still young.

[Future: She always comes, always comes...]

2046, 49 years after the return of Hong Kong; "2046", I broke up with her for 23 days. Regarding the movie, there is not much to say, although there is a lot to say; about her, don’t say it, let the symbols go with the wind; about love, I look forward to the next time... …
