This French copy is slightly different from the one seen in China. The order of editing has been reversed in many places, with a lot of details, and the music is also used differently. I haven't watched this film for a long time, but I can still accurately realize every time there are nuances. It seems that the combination of picture and sound can really make a deep mark in the human brain. Of course those good combinations.
The ending is still disappointing. Faye Wong wore a wig and a stewardess's uniform to get into the big iron gate of the takeaway shop, which was discouraging. The whole movie is like a colorful balloon floating in the air, but the clumsy ending makes it ugly to fall to the ground. However, "Shigemori" is still a very pleasant movie, full of happy dreams.
When I got home, I couldn't help but pull out "Fallen Angel". Watch while eating. If Wong Kar-wai's film career can be split in half, this turning point is exactly in the middle of "Fallen Angels": the moment Li Jiaxin put the coin into the jukebox. Prior to this, all his films can be said to be impeccable. The first half of "Fallen Angels" is exciting to see, the pictures and editing skills are achieved to the extreme, and the beautiful and neat form is unforgettable. Then Li Jiaxin came on stage, threw the coin into the jukebox, and the fascinating music sounded. A series of colors and composition made people dizzy to the unbelievable close-up combination, cheeks, hair, hands, skirt hem and cheeks, formal beauty. Was pushed to the top. Further down, the movie suddenly cannot be watched. Li Jiaxin Liming Jinchengwu suddenly becomes a perverse puppet. You feel that he himself doesn't believe what he is about to tell. The hasty ending ends, completely out of proportion to the beginning. Later, "Happy Together", "In the Mood for Love", "2046"... He really doesn't believe what he said. Once the content becomes pale, the form becomes very artificial and ridiculous.
It's strange that a person's decline from the apex is in the process of progressing. He thought he could raise it a bit more, but he did not expect it to fall.
"Chung Mori" still records many things, especially the inexplicable happiness. A person is always happiest in the few seconds before climbing to the top. Fortunately, this happiness is remembered by me. It also represents that part of my life is happy.
