The loneliness of the future world

Suddenly want to think about 2046 from another angle.

2046 is certainly not a sci-fi movie, and no one would consider it a sci-fi movie, even if it does have some futuristic and sci-fi elements. But the director's personal style belies that. The director's personal style is really remarkable. Apart from this, the most talked about is love.

But what I want to say is the sci-fi part, the future part. In fact, many shots of 2046 are very blade runners, especially the shots of future cities are somewhat cyberpunk. And for the design of the future train, the female robot Faye Wong is full of futuristic sense.

Looking back at Chinese sci-fi films, a few fingers have come out, even if the effect like the wandering earth has been achieved very well, but some people still do not agree, it may be because they feel that the philosophical part is lacking. A great sci-fi film is not only a hard sci-fi shell, but also a philosophical one. Generally good sci-fi films will focus on a certain type of thinking, some are human nature, some are love, some are social class. . . and many more. But there is little description of individual loneliness. This loneliness is not a one-man hero. but the loneliness of ordinary human beings.

There is loneliness in 2046, and Wong Kar-wai is best at talking about loneliness. Robotic delayed tears are a futuristic loneliness. Kimura, who talks to himself, is also a futuristic loneliness.

Loneliness will not disappear with the advancement of technology.

Therefore, there must be loneliness in the future world, but in what way, it is unknown. Existing sci-fi movies often discuss big propositions, survival, subversion, and so on. But the real future world may not be just a big proposition. More personal stuff, details and trivialities.

In this 2046, it seems that the leopard is in the tube.

The main theme of this film, bgm 2046, is also very unique. Mei Maolin's soundtrack has been pushed throughout his life.

    2046 • Dahan was ridiculed that he could not tell stories, if he did it well, he would be called Wong Kar Wai. His narration is always interrupted by some details, eyes, ambiguous light and shadow, so I, who have a very poor logical thinking, are often confused and at a loss by his narration. "2046", Wong Kar-wai prepared a grand and gorgeous ending for himself, gathering all the hesitation, rejection, ambiguity and displacement in his films. The story begins with a man with wet eyes that are as confused as a child and a man with fragile lips. He is on a train that seems to be on a never-ending journey, and he falls in love with the one who cannot be loved, the one on the train. robot. Only later did I learn that this man was just a character in another man's novel.
