The two different main lines of the film review constitute the vein of "Chongqing Forest", but the development of the story of "Chongqing Forest" without the forest in Chongqing is so in line with the theme - loneliness, the unique shooting method is still full of emotions today. Fascinating charm, lovelorn emptiness and loneliness blossomed into a beautiful flower of light and shadow in the hands of Wong Kar-wai. The saury will expire, the meat sauce will expire, and even the plastic wrap will expire. In fact, what is more likely to expire is love, and love has no way to mark the shelf life. "Chongqing Forest" uses Chungking Mansions as a metaphor in the Yau Tsim Mong area of ​​Hong Kong. Love is always just passing by, but some are fleeting, and some can last for decades.

Chungking Express quotes

  • He Zhiwu, Cop 223: We split up on April Fool's Day. So I decided to let the joke run for a month. Every day I buy a can of pineapple with a sell-by date of May 1. May loves pineapple, and May 1 is my birthday. If May hasn't changed her mind by the time I've bought thirty cans, then our love will also expire.

  • He Zhiwu, Cop 223: Any canned pineapple that expires on May 1?

    Cashier: You know what day it is today?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: April 30?

    Cashier: Right. You think we sell outdated stock?

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: There's still two hours to go.

    Cashier: Nobody would buy it. Get a fresh one.

    He Zhiwu, Cop 223: People like you are hung up on freshness. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?

    Cashier: Buddy, I only work here. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading... How I wish cans wouldn't expire! It'd save me loads of work. You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!
