rainy nights, alleys, warm yellow street lamps, swaying silhouettes of cheongsams, straight suits, oily head and clouds on the temples, plus the hazy picture and the familiar cello melody. In a world of light and shadow like
, it's hard not to guess that this is the king of sunglasses, " In the Mood for Love " directed by Wong Kar-wai .

can be such an excellent movie, but it is only about the ambiguity of an extramarital affair.
has no limit pulling, no love is supreme, and no lover is married. But under the blessing of the King of Sunglasses, "In the Mood for Love" has become an indelible classic.
01. Ambiguous early stage - polite and reserved, heart-shaking
Su Lizhen , a married woman; Zhou Muyun , a married man.
One day in Hong Kong, Su and Zhou moved into the same building and became neighbors, but their biggest encounter every day was passing by in the dim and narrow stairway.
Slowly, two people who had nothing to do with each other were linked together because of the derailment of their respective bedsiders. The plot of
"In the Mood for Love" seems so simple.
Wong Kar-wai said he didn't want to make it a simple movie, and didn't want it to be the same as other films about extramarital affairs, and he didn't want people to focus on criticizing the right and wrong of extramarital affairs.
So, he cut it and cut it again, his shots didn't focus on depicting Mr. Chen and Mrs. Zhou who cheated, but instead focused on Su and Zhou who found out that the person beside him cheated. In the
film, Su Lizhen's husband, Mr. Chen, is the owner of a Japanese-funded enterprise, while Zhou Muyun's wife works in a hotel that often requires overtime.
Somehow, the two met privately and quickly developed into each other's underground lovers.
They started to leave their wives and husbands behind and find excuses for a tryst. So many nights, Su and Zhou could only appear at the wonton stand at the entrance of the alley.
At that time, the two hadn't had much contact with each other, and only stayed at the stage of simple greetings and rushing through the dim stairway.
sometimes didn't even greet him, some just looked at each other and nodded slightly under the delicate neckline of the cheongsam.
Until the two gradually discovered the feet exposed by the person beside their pillow, suspicion and anxiety forced them to make an appointment in a restaurant.
While eating, Su found that Zhou's tie was exactly the same as her husband, and Zhou found that Su's wife also had a leather bag.
Su Lizhen said something during dinner "I thought I was the only one who knew. I don't know how they started." how to communicate.
Su: Why did you call my company today?
Zhou: I just wanted to hear from you.
Su: It's very similar to my husband in this point, he's glib.
...
This meal is over and there will be another meal soon, the relationship between the two has been improved in these two exchanges, twoPeople are no longer embarrassed, but hesitant and hesitant to find something to say. In the early days of
's ambiguous relationship, the two adults who already had a family couldn't do the same thing as their partners, but they had some scruples in their hearts. But deep down they were already shaken.
Just imagine that two high-quality adult men and women who were both injured by their partners cheated on each other, it is also very possible that they gradually become attracted to each other in the mutual comfort of each other.
"Love is like a flood, you can't stop it" .
No matter how reserved the two of them are, they will get along day after day under the same roof, the relationship will always heat up, and the opportunity will always come.
This is the early stage of Su and Zhou's adult-style ambiguous relationship, heartwarming but reserved.
02. Ambiguous mid-terms - emotionally overwhelmed, dilemma
You know, sometimes a topic that both men and women like will pop up before you know it.
For example, they accidentally discovered that they both love to read martial arts novels. Zhou talked about his desire to become a writer specializing in martial arts novels when he was a child, so Su encouraged him to write.
They started going back and forth frequently to exchange the creation of martial arts novels.
Once, Su went to Zhou's room to discuss the novel, but unfortunately ran into the landlord Mrs. Sun organized a game to play mahjong all night, but Su had no choice but to stay in Zhou's room for the night.
The next day, Su came back from outside pretending to have worked overtime the day before. But after a long time, gossip appeared, and the two broke off contact.
But Su's heart seems to be missing something, he is half-hearted in everything he does, and he can't keep his spirits up.
One day, a call came to Su's work place. Su hurriedly hung up the phone and came to a hotel. She wandered between the hotel's golden spiral staircase and the red carpet, and finally knocked on the door of 2046.
and Zhou, waiting for her inside.
It turned out that Zhou's novel had already been published, and he hoped that his future works could be discussed with Su, but knowing Su Buji's gossip, he rented a room in the hotel, quit his job, devoted himself to writing, and invited Su to come to 2046 .
That day Su came out of the hotel, stood on the red carpet and said, "We will not be the same as them". The
picture fades in and out from Zhou's melancholy eyes.
Maybe Su has always had her husband in her heart, but after getting along with Zhou for a long time, she doesn't know how to put her heart down. They later reconnected and began playing their respective partners again.
In that alley, they played the scene in advance when Su's husband, Mr. Chen, was about to come back from Japan. Su said "we won't be in touch again in the future" and started sobbing. After Zhou Muyun walked away, he turned back to hold Su in his arms. inside. The
video is here, and one can't help but think of what Zhou Muyun said when he accompanied Su Lizhen under the eaves on a rainy day while waiting for the rain, " So there are some things that happen before you know it."
This, both Mr. Chen and Mr. The beginning of Mrs. Zhou was also the beginning of Su Lizhen and Zhou Muyun.
A relationship has a result once it begins.
Su and Zhou are so close, unfamiliar, ambiguous and estranged as they are destined to not last long.
Soon, Zhou Muyun received a letter from his wife from Japan, saying that he had settled in Japan. And Su Lizhen's husband, Mr. Chen, did not return from Japan.
They looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and could only sigh: they are already together.
Perhaps this letter became the fuse. A few days after receiving the letter, Zhou called Su and asked Su, "If you have another ticket, do you want to come with me?"
Su was silent and hung up on the other end of the phone.
In fact, this is not only Su's decision, but also what most women in that era would make after encountering an extramarital affairChoice, this is social ethics, the truth of the times.
is not only that, the film is also interspersed with the interpretation and lamentation of marriage by women of that era.
Su Zeng sighed helplessly and bewildered after being betrayed by the person next to him: " I never imagined that marriage would be so complicated, and I thought it would be fine if one person did well, but when two people are together, only if they do well by themselves. It's not enough. "
Hesitate and lose.
Su was in a dilemma in his relationship, so he hesitated for a few seconds on the phone, and the ending was separation.
"In the Mood for Love" is not an idealistic encounter, and in reality extramarital affairs are often more criticized.
So Su's silent rejection is the best answer and the most realistic scene.
03. The late stage of ambiguous - people walk tea and cool, things are not people of the Mood for Love.
So in the back, released the video of General Charles de Gaulle visiting Cambodia in 1966, and asked Zhou Muyun to tell the secret words buried in his heart for many years to the hole in the wall of Angkor Wat.
Times have changed, many of the history of Angkor Wat has been buried in the past, and the hole where Zhou Muyun complained has long been sealed with cement, and weeds have grown wildly.
At the end of the film, Su and Zhou returned to the house they once rented, but unfortunately they were different people. The two did not meet under the camera, but Su shouted "Yongsheng" beside him.
Yongsheng approached slowly, it turned out to be Su's child; it turned out that Su Lizhen was already a mother; it turned out that too many things happened over the years.
Wong Kar-Wai did not give the movie an exact ending, whether it is good or bad, there is no way to know.
The so-called love and extramarital affairs are probably all about love.
In fact, "In the Mood for Love", like another movie "Men and Women", chose the latter between idealism and realism.
"derailed" and is an unquestionable public enemy of the whole people.
returned to the fireworks of the world, and the extramarital affairs had almost no good results, so under the processing of art, the director finally chose to give it an ending that was closest to reality.
In addition to marriage, two people can be ambiguous, in love, and entangled, but in the end, when the dust settles, must be separated, and the farther they go, the better.
Two people who are in love may not be together forever, and extramarital affairs are destined to be uneasy.
may be far from life, Su and Zhou have a happy ending.
But at the moment, they are not allowed.
