It's been too long, from the initial thoughts to the later insensitivity. So I finally heard that when it was exhibited in Cannes, there was a sense of unreality. Is it really going to be released? Is it really finished? I began to see relevant introductions in various magazines and newspapers, and I used to mention the movies-related and unrelated. For a time, it has become a fashionable topic. After reading the synopsis, it didn't look very good. Watching Wang's films often requires more patience. I didn't like the previous "In the Mood for Love" very much. I dare not expect too much of this one. Of course, let's go see it, not just Kimura. Curious, what kind of things Wong Kar-wai has photographed after so many years. The result is much better than expected.
National Day holiday, buy tickets as soon as possible. Enter the venue half an hour early and take a seat in the center of the empty theater. Slowly someone came in, caught between a group of lovers and waited for the movie to start. Finally, the lights dimmed and the screen came on. I was very pleasantly surprised. The first sound of the whole movie was Japanese. After watching Japanese TV dramas for many years, I knew it was Kimura's voice. I saw him so early. On the wide screen, he sits on his side, with his head on the upper left, his hands on the lower right, and the subtitles directly below. He was in a hurry for a while. I don’t know if it’s better to look at your face or your hands, or actually you should watch the subtitles? I don't know, my eyes are too busy.
When I saw each other, I already had a good impression, and for the next two hours I have been watching movies with gusto, which are too beautiful. It's hard to tell what kind of story was told, but it's not inexplicable, at least not more difficult to understand than any of Wong Kar Wai's films. Personally, I think it is describing a kind of life, a kind of emotion. Compared with the dialogue, the expression and posture are more impressive. The dialogue is of course also good, this is Wang's usual specialty, but this time, people were photographed too beautifully, attracting people's attention. Very beautiful, every woman, not only Faye Wong, not just the future person. My friend said that those people in the 1960s were all but Faye Wong. Carina Lau was too old and Zhang Ziyi had too many moles. It's true, but I really feel pretty, those expressions, those postures. Almost every woman showed a beautiful expression of strong smile. Laugh, laugh no matter how sad, even though the smile is only on the face and can't reach the eyes, still laugh. Such a forbearing expression makes people tremble deeply.
There is an article saying that actors are not actors in the hands of Wong Kar-wai, they are just props. With him, the acting skills are good like Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, and the acting skills are mediocre like Li Jiaxin and Yang Caini, but there is not much difference. Deeply think so. At the beginning, I had a good impression of Wang because of "Fallen Angels", which was able to shoot Li Jiaxin's big vase so beautifully, there is a soul, what's wrong. 2046 is even more extreme, why everyone is photographed by him so that there are so many styles in every gesture. There is not a lot of dialogue, and there is no need for a lot of dialogue at all. Fluttering, eyebrows, lips and teeth are all a play. What does it mean to act with eyes, act with limbs, that's it. Yes, they are all in the play, and they know it at a glance. It is different from the usual saying that the performance should be natural, so clearly acting, but watching it is infinitely comfortable and empathetic. Why? Why can it be so powerful and beautiful?
Even the props, the cast is extremely powerful. It is the women who are really attractive, and Wong Kar-wai is very partial to them. Kimura only had seven minutes without talking. It's hard to say what amazing performance he had. Some small movements and small expressions are vividly copied from Japanese TV dramas, cute, but not prominent. Although my heart was still tight when I saw him cry, it was mostly because of the plot. It's not unreasonable to pursue such hopeless love all the way. Tony Leung is definitely the protagonist, running through from beginning to end. However, it is also him who is the most unattractive. It's just a typical playboy's posture and expression, full of evil. Of course maybe this is what Wong Kar-wai wants. But, it's not worth seeing. I almost forgot, there was Zhang Zhen, the man with a small face. As a man, his face is too small. So the appearance in the movie suits him well, and the explosive hairstyle is very beautiful. There are only two lenses, still beautiful. No one will forget that jealous expression.
Women are much more visible. Except for Dong Jie, there was nothing else for the young girl's exaggerated style.
First, Gong Li. This woman, who has been famous for a long time, is almost the representative of Chinese beauties in the eyes of foreigners. About the time she became famous, I didn't even watch movies. I never thought she was beautiful. I only watched "Raise the Red Lantern" and didn't feel much. This time pretending to be a money gambler with the same name as Maggie Cheung, she went upstairs and downstairs to meet Liang. Liang hoped that she would go with him, and in a few words, finally decided to bet on the cards to see God's will. There is no dialogue, just a lot of expressions. Of course, at that moment, she felt that her fame was not accidental, and the drama was indeed good. After that, Gong wore black cheongsam and white gloves, walking slowly along the wall repeatedly. Acquaintances, gloves, and lipsticks that have fallen off, the cause and effect, slowly uncovered. I have to say that Wong Kar-wai's logic is very good, and he is mixed among the many characters, and there is no mistake.
Zhang Ziyi, Xiao Nizi who resembles Gong Li, is probably the most photographed person besides Tony Leung. Very natural feeling, young, beautiful, frivolous, but also lonely. Unlike Gong Li, she still has illusions about love, and she still has feelings to give. It was not that Gong Li could not go with Liang at the beginning. But she knew that Liang was just trying to find another Su Lizhen's shadow from her. For love, I think she has no hope. That's why she is willing to devote herself to a gambling game that can be controlled. Zhang is different, Zhang is still so young, his skin is still so smooth, and his figure is still so good. She was also clear at the beginning, knowing how Liang was born. However, young, always expecting love, always overestimating himself, thinking that he will be the exception and be different. It's all the same, Liang has no extra feelings to consume at all. Maybe there was a moment of tempest, of course, just a moment, once the magic passed, it immediately returned to its original state. Thinking of the past, watching Annie's "Farewell to Viann". I don't like this story, but it feels like the same thing. Everyone is constantly hurting and being wounded, draining the feelings of themselves and others. You deplete me, I will deplete him, and finally everyone has cultivated a righteous fruit, without any poison. Zhang Jingliang must have learned a lot in this battle. Watching in pain, Liang used the ten dollars to pay for the meal, his expression gradually became tough. Next time, it will be someone else's turn to suffer the next time. I don't think Zhang's acting skills are so good, but he also vividly interprets the process of a woman from unintentional to hearted to sad to unintentional, which is very passable.
Carina Lau's role is as vague as Zhang Zhen, and it is not clear why they appeared on the stage, or just passing by. Everyone has visitors in their lives. My friend is right, Jialing in the 1960s is really not so good-looking, old, fat, and beautiful. But she has an expression, such a soul expression. Liang tells her how the two were in the past, and the way they were crying in the room alone is enough. On the contrary, I don’t particularly like the appearance of the future. Beauty is beautiful without a soul. I only remember one shot, that shot that suddenly became cheerful from sadness. Like a happy woman, wearing a mask, smiling like a flower, but no real feelings anymore.
The most beautiful must be Faye Wong. I believe anyone who has been there will agree with me. Regardless of her acting skills or her true colors, she is the most beautiful anyway. I have always known that Faye Wong is beautiful, but I don't know that it can be so beautiful. Still unforgettable the sad look in her eyes when Kimura left. Head slightly to the side, a pair of big eyes like weeping like a complaint, better than words. You can imagine how many people fall in love with her because of that look. And the slow and slow smoking posture, forgive me for my lack of words, I just want to be beautiful. Faye Wong in the 1960s heard her first, and then saw her. A blast of crisp Japanese phrases, accompanied by dangling legs and feet, is truly special. Her story is actually very simple. When her family obstructed her and her boyfriend and almost wanted to give up, she met Tony Leung's help and got what she wanted. In the meantime, Liang's story is actually very good. Why can Kimura come back from 2046, because he can't find what he wants there. He went, thinking he could find love there, or an answer, whether she loved him or not. Finally I couldn't, and finally failed. I cried bitterly. The unconcealed crying bitterly made people sad. Just finding love, why is it so hard. Maybe it was the story that moved Faye Wong, maybe she couldn't let go of him and couldn't help it. So regardless of going to Japan, he finally got his father’s forgiveness, and it ended well. Only the lonely beam is left. The days when the two wrote together were not unhappy or ambiguous. But that's all. She has another him in her heart; and he also has another her in her heart. very fair. Maybe because of this, two people get along so happy.
Two hours were devoted to watching a group of people show their amorous feelings on the screen, accompanied by Wong Kar Wai's consistently excellent music. I still remember the music behind Liang Zhizui's life, there is no more suitable one. I really want to watch it again, watch the fascinating expressions and postures, and listen to the right music.
