My thoughts only - WKW is in love with romantic fatalities. His movies about love are never about love itself but the slow swelling of longing, loneliness and desire, with the unfinished endings to the love stories being more beautiful than the love itself. The suffering and punishment of love eclipsing or giving itself the definition of the actual love in the stories. Its great for art, and i do like his stuff but his stories are never about love for what it really is.

This is the best introduction to WKW I’ve seen on KZread so far. Well done!!!

What about the melancholic theme that resurfaces throughout the film? That in itself tells the story more deeply than what is portrayed on screen....

No, the visual cinematography its visual poetry inself, the music theme is the Vals for the montage.

His movies are so haunting...i dont know hiw much time i watched IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE"...not only that ..all his movies have some magic feell...

Great job on this review, you did a very good job and cutting apart and analyzing each of his key themes. Very good!

YOU DID NOT TALK ABOUT 2046 . a Masterpiece

there is more mystery in asking questions about things that have no easy answers...

Buenísimo vídeo. Me fascina Won Kar Wai y su maravilloso lenguaje, estética, filosofía.

Excellent analysis. Would love to listen more of your thoughts on other movies

That was amazing!! Im obsesssed with his works love ur accent btw

Just noticed that this week watching In The Mood a second time. 2046 is a sequel but most of his movies up to that one have distinct parallels.

Beautiful.

He is a legend❤️

Imagine watching these movie dub in mandarin tho 😂 I seen in the mood for love and it unbelievably awful for the dialogue. Watching the Cantonese version was masterful

We will become friends again, one day. 🙏

Hong Kong would not have succeeded and became one of the major trading hubs in Asia pacific area if it were not backed by the British Empire. And WKW films from the early 90s to late 90s depicted the charm and beauty of the unique culture of Hong Kong from the 60s to late 90s. That is the Hong Kong that many people around the world know and loved.

How about the 70s? You folks were starving under the rule of Mao. You mainlanders started to open up during the 80s while Hong Kong has already achieved so much. We Hong Kongers would never be part of the mainland in minds and spirit because we have learned to think for ourselves. We are allowed to mingle with anyone from different parts of the world.
