2046 Film structure

The director does not deliberately emphasize the development of the storyline. He hides the causality in the play behind the plot, completely disrupting the time and space before and after. But the ingenuity of the director is to promote the development of the story in these chaotic characters, scenes, plots, time and space. The film has a very clear main clue: Zhou Muyun, played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai , is both the protagonist and the bystander, writing the woman around him into his novel in a real or imaginary way. Although the role of Zhou Muyun itself is ambiguous, Zhou Muyun's emotional development has clearly become the main line of the film.
And the film's performance techniques just provide the feasibility for the director's long-span jump of time and space. Large flashbacks in the film interweave the past story with the reality of reality. In this film, Wong Kar-wai uses the lens to interpret the "past tense", "present tense" and "future tense". Zhou Muyun's inner monologue and subtitles are constantly interspersed between the films, which not only clears the story for the guide, but also increases the effect of separation, keeping the audience at a distance from the entangled love story itself.
