It's not actually a completely happy movie in my opinion, it's full of melancholy sadness and bittersweet sentiment. It depicts a group of lonely people who struggle to communicate, whose lives are broken and full of frustration. But the director proved with another attitude that life can actually be very simple and happy. No matter the details, vision, content of the film. All are eye-catching. It's a very good movie.
But why does it remind me of Wong Kar Wai's movies?
The backgrounds of Leslie Cheung and Emily in "The True Story" are so similar, but their attitudes towards life form such a strong contrast. Maybe I feel that my life is always separated from the repeated struggle between Leslie Cheung and Emily. But can I be like Emily?
Emotions are always sunk in Wong Kar Wai's films. Because more often the life situation faced is similar to it. Some sense of powerlessness and fate, you can't be happy without a beautiful attitude...
