A movie does not need ingenious plots and peculiar structures. One eye, one dialogue, one light can support all hope. Behind the resonance, we find more than ourselves. How many people will talk to themselves like night police No. 633, facing a dripping towel, a teddy bear or a girlfriend's uniform; how many people will be like 223, broken in love and go for a run to dry the excess body water; how many people will Listening to [California Dreamin'] repeatedly, she secretly ran to the house of her beloved man, carefully arranged everything she thought was right, but kept her distance nervously and carefully, just like the nightclub waiter named Afi. I am more willing to believe that more than ten years ago, in Hong Kong, the real life of four people was staged; more than ten years later, Beijing has become Hong Kong, Shanghai has become Hong Kong, and we have come to power and dedicated a new version .
It is undeniable that when I once again encountered those classic bridges that were deconstructed one by one by later generations, my heart was no longer moved. We are perplexed by the confusion of the people in the play without hesitation, and "time", "time limit" and "distance" are also inevitable. Maybe once, we also went to the small nightclub that sold fish and chips black coffee pizza to find the answer, met a beautiful female clerk and a handsome policeman, short-lived happiness is both an antidote and a poison, after all, the lonely cannot escape Get out of loneliness.
Most of the film's scenes are shot in ambiguous and unstable light, creating a strong inner desire. Different from Wong Kar-wai's later works, a large number of telephoto lenses are used in [Chongqing Forest], and a feeling of emptiness and being peeped constantly emerges. It is no wonder that "Forest" is used as the title. In the forest, you will lose your direction, lose contact, turn around suddenly, and there seems to be an eye secretly watching you from behind the tree.
