The Beauty of Fallen Angels

a movie that feels you're watching someone's memories/dreams

[@A7xeno]

If you like that sort of dreamy films sequences then you should check out Andrei Tarkovsky. He was a Russian filmmaker and is considered to be one of the greatest of all time. His film 'Mirror' is something you'd really like.

[@JessicaGrey]

My favorite scene in this movie is when the hitman leaves the blonde girl and before he leaves she bites him and she says that he might not remember her but he will remember that bite and he says remembering her doesn't actually matter because he was just a stopover in the journey of her life, not her final destination. At least that's what I understood from the subtitles!

I’m a 15 year old teenage girl and I’m obsessed with Wong Kar-Wai’s films. I love to edit videos and take pictures and watch films in my free time and these are the only things I truly enjoy doing. Fallen Angels is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen and it inspired me a lot. It’s really beautiful.

[@x6621]

Same!! Fallen Angels for me is what got me into researching the culture, films and history behind pre-Handover, 1990s Hong Kong and the Two Golden Ages of Hong Kong cinema.

Fallen Angels is such a fantastic and beautiful movie that I was so utterly impressed when I saw it during its first release back in 1995. Though I wasn't able to fully appreciate that film (I was too young at the time), I just loved it a lot. 20 years later when I watched it again, I love it even more! A masterpiece. Also very glad that Wong Kar Wai has made an excellent record and memory of what Hong Kong was like pre-1997!

Is there any film who can truly beat this masterpiece? Simply blown by the aesthetic and wide angle lens in Wong kar Wai's sir film.

I watched this film last night and loved every second of it.

[@Heisenberg2097]

So true. FA is the reason when I fell in love with the imagery of Wong Kar Wai. Some years later I was lucky to get paid watching the Nathan Road from... the nineteenth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel over on the other side on HK island. Nice move... oh lords of fate!

I did not even remotely qualify for ect. You have to take like 800mg of a certain medication per day and I at most took 40mg. But I begged them to do it anyway. Last visit was September. Anshu likes Grimes and Frodo likes Usher. I didn’t say any of these things because I just assumed people in my primary school were unusually crazy. And in my secondary school too. But now I realise everyone is a little bit crazy so no point. Right now I think I’m anxious only because I’m h**** not because of some underlying chemical imbalance in my brain

[@tasya8923]

There is a video here on YT explaining , they used a 9.8mm lens and attached a ultra wide lens adapter onto it, so it equals a 6.8mm lens.

[@OurResidentEccentric]

It isn't, but the song itself is based after Karmacoma by Massive Attack, which is on Spotify! :D Wong Kar Wai wanted Karmacoma in his film, but couldn't get the rights as they were too expensive, so he had composer Frankie Chan make this song and a few others which sound really similar to Karmacoma!

[@gymnopedie4445]

My major criticism of Wong Kar-Wai is that he leans too heavily on aesthetics. There's some gorgeous shots in his films, but the plots are just so-so. A 90 minute film composed of two 45 minute short stories just doesn't give you that much time to build characters or develop any attachment to them. A director like Kurosawa produces 3.5 hour films like Seven Samurai where the first 2 hours are spent on character building.

[@aruen4575]

Nicely put, still loved Fallen Angels though

[@aey8056]

I think it’s part of the beauty of the film too. The lack of character development kinda plays into the relationships portrayed in the film - short and shallow flings. They didn’t really seek relationships in the normal sense but more for physical pleasure or like, short term satisfaction(?) Hence the more heavy emphasis on aesthetics and short duration of the movie. He used a similar tactic/ plot for Chungking express - I think fallen angels is supposed to be like the sequel to Chungking express (I’m not sure )

[@andresaleman3862]

You don't need that kind of character building structure to share emotions and ideas. Art doesn't work like that

[@GilBatesLovesyou]

In my mind, a good film or piece of art is less about the actual characters themselves, but more about the message or themes you want to convey. In this way, even something like a music video can make an impact, even though you cannot reasonably expect to develop the characters in 4 minutes. (Check out Mondo Grosso's "Labyrinth" for a video a little reminiscent of Wong Kar Wai.) I think in this movie, Wong wanted to convey the idea, as the moral if you would, to take control of your own life first and foremost, and to not just let things from your past keep compounding on yourself, and to get out before those things compound into something too late for you to leave. It's a similar message as Cowboy Bebop actually, and I believe Cowboy Bebop heavily knocked off both Chungking Express and Fallen Angels. In both, all the plotlines involve entanglement with the past and a seeming inability to escape their fates, but in both the characters are clearly given options to escape and live a normal life, and choose not to take them.

[@Night.Queen.]

Actually thats the beauty of it...no big character development just atmosphere and aesthetics that capture certain emotions and feelings,in this movie its loneliness

[@Venustravelstheworld]

Does anybody has any tips on where to buy or watch fallen angels ?

[@cchiefjoe]

Criterion channel online, I believe you can get a 2 week free trial and watch a good amount of wong kar wai films or its about $15 a month, or ebay to buy used dvd copies.
