"In the Mood for Love" is a movie released in 2000 with a Douban score of 8.6. The film critics also listed this movie as one of the 100 must-see movies in the 21st century. The reason why
has such a high appraisal of this movie is to put aside the intricate sense of the movie screen of Wong Kar-wai and the wonderful performances of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. The most commendable is the script of this movie.
Love
Zhou Muyun (played by Tony Leung) and Su Lizhen (played by Maggie Cheung) moved back and forth into an old building. Zhou Muyun's wife was mostly at home because of the night shift, while Su Lizhen's husband was on a long business trip. , She is the only one in the family.
The enthusiastic landlord invited the two of them to play cards together, and they met.
was at the poker table. When they accidentally learned that they both had the same hobbies and both liked to read martial arts novels, these two people who were already lonely got closer.
is just that the two people in the marriage have maintained mutual restraint.
Every evening, they have to meet in the dim corridor, staring at each other, but they never say a word.
One wears an exquisite cheongsam every day, and a neat suit every day. The so-called "sentiment" of
actually started from here.
Victim
When Su Lizhen discovered that her husband brought back the bag from Japan, Zhou Muyun’s wife also had one;
When Zhou Muyun wanted to pick up his wife from get off work, but found out that she had been picked up long ago;
When Su Lizhen and Zhou Muyun found each other Lover, when cheating.
In order to retaliate against them, they feel that they are beginning to try to get along, and feel that they cultivate common hobbies, in order to achieve the pleasure of revenge against each other.
and even Su Lizhen pretended to be Zhou Muyun as her husband, and showed off against him and attacked him, but she cried without speaking.
At first, the two people thought it was just a revenge for the "deceived", but later when they found that they couldn't leave each other, they couldn't let go of each other.
has also become the deceiver of the marriage, just like Zhou Muyun said:
I thought we would not become like them, but it turned out I would. Many things happened without knowing it.
Like like, like love. After Zhou Muyun told Su Lizhen himself about the
wall
, he had a good impression of her.
Su Lizhen thought of running away, but hiding inside the wall of marriage.
She sticks to the bottom line of marriage, she feels that she can't be like them.
However, there are two things you can't hide in this world, one is a cough, the same is a liking.
She also fell in love with Zhou Muyun, and it was a kind of hopeless love...
Zhou Muyun fell ill and claimed to want to eat sesame paste. After Su Lizhen learned by accident, she cooked a big pot and shared it with neighbors. Naturally Zhou Muyun also got a share.
After Zhou Muyun recovered, he said to Su Lizhen: “It’s a coincidence that I just wanted to eat sesame paste that day, so you made a big pot!” Zhou Muyun, who was disappointed with the marriage of
ferry ticket
, decided to do it. Go to Singapore to start life again. Before leaving,
asked Su Lizhen in his heart: "If you have another ticket, will you go with me?"
did not wait for Su Lizhen to answer, Zhou Muyun had left Hong Kong.
Waited until Su Lizhen rushed to Zhou Muyun’s room, and when she saw that there was no one else, she went back to the 2046 they first met by herself. In the room she lit a cigarette and let the smoke surround her, just like Zhou Muyun. Never left the same.
A man's revenge
In the drama, Zhou's wife wrote a letter to Zhou Muyun. After reading the letter, Zhou Muyun became furious. It can be predicted that Zhou's wife must have a showdown with him.
In another scene, Zhou's wife made a phone call to Su Lizhen's husband, but she broke up. Finally, Zhou's wife said: "Don't come to me anymore!" Zhou's wife inside the door of
was crying, Zhou Mu outside the door Yun frowned.
and this is also the starting point for Zhou Muyun's revenge.
A meticulously planned "ambiguity"
If Zhou Muyun first met Su Lizhen, it was a premeditated plot. If Zhou Muyun initiated a conversation, it was his calculation.meter.
All the "ambiguous" feelings between Zhou Muyun and Su Lizhen, all the heartbeats, will be particularly interesting.
He approached her just to avenge his husband. This is the original intention!
made Su Lizhen fall in love with him with the most affectionate person
, let Su Lizhen betray her husband, betray her own feelings, this was Zhou Muyun's sole purpose from the beginning.
It's just a pity that we still underestimated the magic of love. For a moment, Zhou Muyun was really moved by Su Lizhen.
So after he was so disappointed in his marriage, he decided to run away, so he came up with the sentence: "If you have another ticket, will you follow me!"
just, Zhou Muyun, a coward, has not waited yet Came to the desired answer, but ran away in advance!
tree hole
Zhou Muyun came to Angkor Wat alone, where he found a tree hole, because he believed that if a person has any secrets in his heart, he only needs to find a tree hole and tell his thoughts to the tree hole. Then bury it, and it can be sealed forever.
then faced the tree hole, and he told his secret. We don't know whether the secret of
is a conspiracy or a sprouting sentiment.
But that doesn't matter, after all, "In the Mood for Love is really good, I'm afraid of the truth when it gets sad."
Postscript: Some people say that Zhou Muyun and Su Lizhen regret that one did not ask and the other did not answer. One of
keeps his head down forever, waiting for him to take the initiative, but one quietly retreats while plotting. And this regret, this miss, may be the most exciting point of this movie, and also the softest point in the heart of director Wong Kar Wai.
Love movies are not just for a happy reunion. They leave people with regrets and leave room for reverie. Perhaps they are the real truth.
