Watching Wong Kar Wai's movies must like to dream.
In the Mood for Love is a movie that makes dreams come true. Not everyone likes to dream, and not everyone likes to watch movies that sound like a dream. For this film, people who like it like it to the extreme, and people who don't like it will scoff at it. However, the author is obsessed with the plausible but invisible life of the hero and heroine.
When the bright cheongsam and the dark walls, the dim street corners, and the unforgettable protagonist, when the dialogue is so quiet and contrasting and harmonious, I always feel that the camera is only 0.01 centimeters away from my eyes.
The story is obscure, and the plot is easily concealed behind the beautiful cheongsam and the brilliance of the heroine's performance. But if you're someone who likes to dig into stories, you can still see the results of these two extramarital affairs to give you food for thought.
In addition to the cheongsam, the film also used street lamps, gramophones, corners of the street, walls, and rooms to express the characteristics of Hong Kong in that period. These performances all demonstrate Wong Kar Wai's cinematic style.
The film is so quiet that you can't possibly think it's a movie about an extramarital affair. Only when you sit down and watch quietly you will find that the film will make your heart up and down.
