Never before has a film so eloquently captured the feeling of driving to McDonalds at 3am.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"Watching dad cooking made me very happy. I know I'll never taste his steaks again...but I'll never forget just how they tasted."
love is fleeting. it can be experienced in the smallest of moments; the length of a song, one night together, a videotape. we're all just passengers floating through each other's lives. some of us make a bigger impact than others, but in that moment the emotion is raw and real and unfiltered. we're messy, chaotic creatures; we're explosively poetic. nothing captures that quite like fallen angels.
i think after a third viewing i've finally been able to wrap my thoughts around this film and the beautiful, violent, romance of it all. i'm just so grateful that this film exists; that it gives me the knowledge that as my life goes on i'll get to experience more love and bring new people into my life and myself into theirs. no matter how fleeting that feeling may be.
minus half a star for that poor actress who had to pretend to have a 3-min orgasm from rubbing her fingers on her clothed thighs
happy to announce that wong kar-wai finally clicked for me and holy shit i love movies
Man Wong Kar-wai really goes out of his way to make you wish you were hot and your loneliness were this pretty.
