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.

    I have never seen 2046 in my memory, and I was surprised when I opened the movie, and I actually saw it. Who gave me a subconscious spoiler and wiped my memory?

    Zhou Muyun loved the gracefulness of Su Lizhen's cheongsam and the mystery of black spider gloves. No one followed him under the street lights on the corner. Only Bai Ling followed him, but he refused. The story of him and her will only happen in a humid room in 2046. He is willing to be an emotional prostitute for 10 yuan each time, and the price is clear and fair. He envied Jingwen's perseverance and Lulu's obsession, and watched them board the train towards 2046. Only sitting in the same place, lifting the pen can't modify the ending.

2046 quotes

  • Chow Mo Wan: I slowly began to doubt myself.

    Chow Mo Wan: Maybe the reason she didn't answer was not that her reactions were delayed but simply that she didn't love me.

    Chow Mo Wan: So at last, I got it. It's entirely beyond my control.

    Chow Mo Wan: The only thing left for me... was to give up.

  • Tak: Let's see each other again. Then, if you think we shouldn't be together, tell me so frankly... That day, six years ago, a rainbow appeared in my heart. It's still there, like a flame burning inside me. But what are your real feelings for me? Are they like a rainbow after the rain? Or did that rainbow fade away long ago?...
