Rewatching the Affair Story In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar Wai)

we won't be like them

The first time I saw it, I didn't understand it. At that time, I was young, and the right and wrong in love were very clear. How could there be so many last resorts! ? I don't understand why Maggie Cheung wants to refuse and welcome, and I don't understand why both of them want to be together, but they have to miss it?!

I really like the feeling that Director Wong Kar Wai put the seemingly meaningless encounter on the road and nodded his head into the clip, recording every bit of the unfamiliar to the familiar, and began to have a real intersection. After their other half was actually the other party's third party, both of them fell into pain and loneliness. After confirming the physical evidence of the same illness, they often wondered together how their other half began to be in an affair? So start roleplaying. In the process, they got to know each other more and more, shared more and more, and their feelings fermented little by little. They have always adhered to the bottom line, did not want to cross, and did not want to be reduced to doing the same thing after being betrayed. This is self-esteem and self-hypnosis. As long as we don't cross the line, we are different.

Eat, chat, exchange information with each other. At the beginning, I would retract my hand and refuse physical contact, until I cooked sesame paste for everyone to eat (actually because I heard that Tony Leung was ill and wanted to eat it), from the promise not to be betrayed to affect the mood, to write separately and then to appreciate it together, to the last Rent a room to meet and hide from others. From worrying about whether others will misunderstand, to the time interval increasing the yearning, running to the hotel after a phone call, but going back and forth between the lobby and the stairwell, not knowing whether to enter the door or not. From "Let's not see each other too often" to crying while practicing parting...

After getting married, is love still the primary consideration?

 "I never thought marriage would be so difficult. I thought it would be fine as long as I did my duty well, but I never thought that it would be possible to accomplish this if I did not do it myself."

"I believe I will not be like them, but it turns out I will"

【Golden years】

When I was young, I was very bored. I loved it. Anyway, I have been NTR. You are in love with each other. Why don't you just fly away? ! So I don't understand why they all went to Singapore, Maggie Cheung still chose to go back to Hong Kong by herself? The two searched for each other's news intentionally or unintentionally, but they never dared to approach each other again.

From my meager experience, people with a high moral bottom line will have these entanglements: after all, when you get married, it is because of love. After getting married, it is just dull. This person is so emotional, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be the same for a long time, right? ! But the heart that couldn't get it was always in the bottom of my heart, always thinking, what if....

Find a tree hole!

The last famous scene is the Angkor Wat scene, some things can't be said, and it can't be too obvious to mourn. Can only confide secrets to lifeless holes. We don’t know if it’s let go or not. The regret of life is that the story always comes to an abrupt end.

The past is gone, live the future life well.

I like this obscure technique very much. After all, this is like a real emotional exchange. Maggie Cheung is very tasteful when she refuses her desires and welcomes her. When she role-plays, her eyes are provocative and she instantly recovers her reason. She doesn't believe that her husband is really having an affair. . What I enjoy the most is that Maggie Cheung is really beautiful in cheongsam, and switching to different cheongsams at the same meal to represent that the two have been meeting all the time. This kind of artistic conception that can be conveyed without lines, I think it is the reason why Wong Kar Wai's films are so attractive. ? !

Reminds me of another story that I also like, that is, the Korean drama " On the Road to the Airport ", but it was criticized by Korean aunts for aestheticizing the affair, and it was a good story that was almost taken off the shelves, but the ending was really too beautiful and unrealistic. .

But I really like what it says in this drama, no matter what the object of the affair, the problem between the two of them already exists . Instead of blaming the other person for intervening, it is better to think about what you want and whether the relationship between the two is irreversible. This kind of more rational discussion has a positive impact on the world of couples .
