Pretend to never know Wong Kar Wai

Makenna 2021-12-23 08:01:52

To be honest, I have deliberately not watched "Blueberry Night" before last night, because I have read too many clear, profound and professional reviews. When I gradually forgot those comments, I even forgot the movie. After Brother Colin mentioned it, I went crazy again looking for the "New York City" by Nora Jones given to me by the man in my sophomore year, but I couldn't find it. So sadly I thought that the last time I watched Wang Jiawei in large-scale and high-density was in the summer vacation when the college entrance examination was over. I thought that those Li Shang's implicit lines and Van Gogh-style blurred scenes would be remembered forever, but I didn't expect that even Wang Jiawei would be thrown away. Behind the head.
Based on my vague impression, it seems that the reviews at the time were talking about how Wong Kar-wai this movie is. Wong Kar Wai is still Wong Kar Wai. Wong Kar-wai travels all over the world, or Wong Kar-wai of Hong Kong. Wong Kar-wai cannot be a better Wong Kar-wai because he can't throw away the old Wong Kar-wai.
So I am thankful that I am not a filmmaker. I don't understand lens switching, light and shadow coordination, artistic techniques, and conceptual analysis. I only know that I am listening to the story. A person with a story in his heart, went to many places to find a lot of people and spent a lot of money to cooperate with him to help him tell the story to me.
They said that Wong Kar-wai's story is just repeating. You see, the color is the same as the traffic is the same as the bridge, and even the keys are the same. But I just like the similarities in temperament and the similarities in plot. Alejandro Gonzalez Inalido’s "Love is a son of a bitch", "21 Grams" and "Tong Tian Pagoda" are each viewed after two years, but they are all because they seem to be similar. The small details and trembling all over. The more sad the more exciting. Come to think of it, we like a certain style of a certain director. Isn't it something that can move us repeatedly? If he doesn't move you anymore, then maybe it's just your own problem.
And what can be more repetitive and monotonous than the life of eating, drinking and sleeping, and it is easier to get used to.
——————————— The dividing line of non-seriousness————————

From the beginning of the film, I knew it was a porn.
Color film. Fuji film is not bragging. Love movies. Wong Kar-wai's notebook is not improvised.
The juice is thick and fresh and dripping. A night scene with interlacing light and darkness. In such an ambiguous atmosphere, if there is no love, nothing needs to happen.
But three simple stories. But it brings together almost all types of human emotions.

1. Elizabeth and her boyfriend - love deceived

no one can guarantee their loyalty. No one can demand the loyalty of the other party. The harm that one party's derailment brings to the other party is that they dare not easily trust and engage in their emotions, fearing that the meat buns will never get back. That's why Elizabeth lay on the table after watching the video and crying, letting Jeremy kiss off the cream instead of responding to him-I firmly believe that she must be awake. Everyone needs to be deceived to understand how to trust better.

2. Jeremy and Kaya - intellectual love

he initially gave her the keys, she confidently to fly; he remained in last place does not move, but other people have not hers.
What if she didn’t leave? What if he did not stay? What if she doesn't want to go? What if he still feels?
No matter which time these assumptions happen, the story will not continue like Wong Kar-wai said. But irrational emotions never appeared between these two people. Just because they all know what they want most.
Not to accommodate. No charity.

3. Police Ani and his wife Su Lin - choking love

he loved her, but just want to use their love surrounded her; she loved him, but he just wanted to leave while watching how much he cares about himself.
So they just revolved around each other. The space doesn't meet each other often, but the soul is not far away but it is difficult to understand.
What makes them addicted is not alcohol, but severe pain. The kind of pain in the leg being crushed by a fallen tree. Still hesitated in my heart: stay in place and wait? The blood stream will die. Saw a leg and leave? This life is crippled.
Finally, Arnie died at the origin of love. His love made Su Lin never escape.

4. female gambler and father - stubborn love

Although this story throughout the key word is trust, but I am good for nothing beside the point.
I don't know how many daughters and fathers get along in such a way that they seem to ignore each other but actually care about each other. At least I wanted to cry when I saw it. I don't know when I will start to talk to my dad, I will lose my temper when I call, and I will not act coquettishly with him when I go home. After he came back from drinking and socializing outside, I would hide in my room and didn't want to see him. Deny the views of his college students in the 1980s. Too lazy to listen to his serious preaching.
Dad and I are getting old, and I know in my heart that I am getting farther and farther away from him. I want to give birth to a little girl quickly, and when my father retires, let him take her to listen to the birdsong in the forest in the morning, climb the mountain to watch the sunset at night, teach her to recite poetry and nursery rhymes, make her a kite and sleigh, and carry her on when watching the fireworks. On the shoulders, I personally tie a series of nine chains with iron wire to her-in short, take her to do all the things he did with me when I was a kid.
In this way, can we all put down our masks and stop being stubborn?
Click the title. There is nothing to learn about trust and doubt. We, inevitably, will not always use the right position.

5. Elizabeth and Jeremy - is love

Elizabeth is not want to go, it is Wong Kar-wai to let her go. Wang Jiawei said, you will encounter several people and things on your way away, and it will not be too late to come back then.
Wang Jiawei said to Jeremy that she would come back, but before that, you also need to tell your own past.
So there are those two stories. So there is so much love. So there is a blueberry pie every day. So there was the last kiss.
Maybe in the future he will also cheat. Maybe someday she will also want to fly sensibly. They will also bind each other to suffocation with love. Maybe they start to have trouble trusting each other and stubbornly hurt.
But who cares maybe someday in the future?
Tonight, a kiss with the smell of blueberries is enough.

My Blueberry Nights quotes

  • Elizabeth: Why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.

    Jeremy: No. No, I couldn't do that.

    Elizabeth: Why not?

    Jeremy: If I threw these keys away then those doors would be closed forever and that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it?

    Elizabeth: I guess I'm just looking for a reason.

    Jeremy: From my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing, and other times there's no reason to be found.

    Elizabeth: Everything has a reason.

    Jeremy: Hmm. It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished... but there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.

    Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?

    Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. Just... people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie, just... no one wants it.

  • Elizabeth: [wiping her tears] How do you say goodbye to someone you can't imagine living without? I didn't say goodbye.

    [pause]

    Elizabeth: I didn't say anything. I just walked away.
