On the 25th anniversary of the release of "Chongqing Forest", I finally know why Wong Kar-wai is a ghost. The day we broke up was April Fool's Day, so I always treated her as a joke, and I am willing to keep her joke for a month. From the day I broke up, I bought a can of pineapple every day, which expires on May 1, because pineapple is May’s favorite food, and May 1 is my birthday. I told myself that when I bought 30 cans, if she did not come back, the relationship would expire. I believe everyone must be very impressed with this video.
In 1994, when "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wong Kar-wai was released, it won the Best Film Award at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards, Wong Kar-wai won the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards, and Tony Leung won the 31st prize for the film. Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. That year, Brigitte Lin was 40, Tony Leung was 32, Takeshi Kaneshiro was 21, and Faye Wong was 25. That year, when Wong Kar-wai made this movie, he didn't even have a script, so he called a bunch of celebrities to star.
So that year, the policeman played by Takeshi Kaneshiro was called He Zhiwu, the urban girl played by Faye Wong was still called Afei, Brigitte Lin was an unnamed assassin, Tony Leung was an unnamed policeman, who erased the imprisonment of his name, the role they played seemed to be they themselves. That year, there may be many people who could not understand the movie, but they liked the mottled and literary picture inside, but they liked Takeshi Kaneshiro, who was only in his early 20s and was so handsome at the time, but liked the kind of people in it. The wonderful feeling of passing by with a distance of only 0.01 cm between people, I just like the deeply rooted monologues in it.
In Wong Kar-wai's shots, the shaking hand-held camera + slow motion with the blurry neon color, forming a beautiful background in the night of Hong Kong. And under this beautiful background are people with fuzzy faces like ants, persistently searching for the meaning of life. In the fried chicken shop, one Ami left, and another Ami came up. There is actually no difference between Ami and Ami, except that they are all small people.
The policeman played by Tony Leung does not even have a name. Everything is going on in the unknown. This is exactly the ambiguity brought by Wong Kar Wai's movie. This ambiguity is exactly what urban life gives people, day after day, year after year, all the same. Only when love comes, does it make a difference. May fell in love with the police, the kind of love at first sight. For this reason, she tried every means to obtain the key to the police residence and cleaned the house for him every day. This kind of deep-rooted obsession, let us see when we were young, drinking milk tea on the table of the male god or goddess in the next class.
The key to his success is not only in China. Quentin Tarantino, a fan of the King of Sunglasses and the great director of American postmodernism, also loves "Chongqing Forest". It is said that he was moved by watching the movie. Tears burst into tears. The moon-faced director said: It's not because of how sad this film is. I have always been a man who sees tragedy as a joke. The reason why I cried is precisely because this movie is so good, how can there be such a good movie in this world! Then Quentin was everywhere in his circle of friends with the works of Amway Wong Kar Wai, opening up the European market to the King of Sunglasses.
was the daughter of Quentin's girlfriend's "Godfather". After watching "Chongqing Forest", Sophia Coppola personally wrote a letter to Wong Kar Wai, thanking the King of Sunglasses for allowing herself to see such a great movie. Her father is the famous Francis Ford Coppola, and the "Godfather" series of movies directed by her father shines through the annals of history. Of course, his daughter is not bad. "Lost in Tokyo" written and directed by Sophia Coppola won the 2004 Best Screenplay Award. When she gave a speech on stage, she also mentioned Wong Kar Wai, saying that the King of Sunglasses was her inspiration.
It can be said that the movie of King of Sunglasses has allowed more international directors to realize that our country also has many excellent director talents and excellent works!
