California dreaming on such a winter's day

No matter how many times I watch this movie, I still prefer the part of Faye Wong and Tony Leung.
The daydream of Gelifonia dreaming, the bright eyebrows and figure of Faye Wong with short hair are shaking everywhere. Once the music starts, people believe that no matter where, even Hong Kong and California can fall beautiful snowflakes.

Takeshi Kaneshiro was still young at that time, but he was much more lively than when I first saw him. The first time he saw the role of the vase in "Chinese Dragon", he liked him for more than ten years. No one can be so deeply handsome and introverted, but maybe it's just my stubborn psychology. And Brigitte Lin, I like her pictures far more than she herself. A true beauty. Usually, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin are my favorites. It's just that in this movie, for me, they lost to the Faye Wong and Tony Leung combo behind. The only detail I remember is that little He Zhiwu used his tie to wipe off the white high heels of the strange woman.

Despite this, I still don't like Tony Leung's self-talk so much. His later remarks and memories are just a play in my eyes. I'd rather believe it was Faye Wong when he decided to buy an extra serving of fish and chips in addition to the chef's salad.

Therefore, those canned pineapples, the water consumed by running, the soap that lost weight and gained weight, all gave way to Faye Wong. This short-haired girl, no matter the black tight tank top, the yellow fat lapel top, the gray long skirt, or the black and white short-sleeved shirt, can only add to the sparkling beauty she was born with. She fell in love with a person, all her expressions were caused by him, her eyes flickered, her rag brushed the blurry figure again and again, she swayed her thin body with the music, you can imagine her in the loud music Under the masked mood swings. She didn't mind blatantly making excuses for the address, she entered his house bravely and terrified, she threw away his old slippers, deleted his phone messages, tucked the flight attendant's clothes in the bottom of the cupboard, for a long hair on the bed I screamed angrily, it was the first time I fell in love with a girl who was so unbridled with her feelings. In that crowded and chaotic room, she suddenly released her own "Dream Man", "I seem to have fallen in love with you, and I have never been as close to you as I am now."

How many years ago, maybe I used to sleepwalk involuntarily like this, and I liked it so much that it was stupid, crazy and simple. It may seem a little ridiculous, but you know what, these things are so precious, it's a shame they're not cherished.

    [A+] The opening technique of hand-held camera and frame drawing creates an unparalleled fantasy: the city is ubiquitous, but it is deliberately blurred in the movement of the characters, the emotions are extracted from it, and it turns into a blurred and flowing medium existence. Time is also ambiguous, but under the complicated and trivial scheduling, an inescapable direction is still established. When the second "0.01" moment occurred, the movie burst into infinite charm, which was the moment that truly belonged to Wong Kar-wai. California Dreams and Dreamers add color to the images in the constant rotation of the soundtrack, and the narrative is extremely light, like a rebirth after a lovelorn. Cans will always expire, airline tickets will always fade, and instead of struggling with that deadline, it’s better to swallow it whole and point to a destinationless future (as the old saying goes: “make a movie about politics”).

    People who are broken in love should not look at Chongqing Forest, but how can people who are not in love understand Chongqing Forest. I'm so lucky that I didn't watch this movie early. I feel that there are many similarities between Wang Kar-wai's lines and Murakami's writing. The style is short and succinct, clean and neat, but it is the sentiment behind the writing that fits more closely. Loneliness, helplessness, nihility, melancholy, boredom, longing and relief. I like the sadness of the former "Every time I meet is a long-lost reunion".
