Understanding 2046 (2004) | What's Your 2046?

[@giorgoskonstantinoufilmmaking]

This analysis almost had me in tears. Very well made. I loved it the same as I loved the movie its self. The way you're talking about it, the quotes, It's obvious that you love analyzing wong's movies.

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

I really appreciate the comment! Thank you :)

[@Elayzee]

2046 is underrated. When you watch it directly after “In The Mood For Love” it really impacts everything so much more. Such a beautiful film!

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

so good!

[@bharatagarwal33]

Watched 2046 for the third time and I am surprised how nobody is talking about the relationship between Tony Leung's and Faye Wong's characters in the film. For me, it has always been the most beautiful part and so nostalgic. When Tony Leung's character says that was the best summer of his life, it is so warm in a film which is so cold. I think their relationship was the most wholesome in the entire film

[@akikimbo]

My 2046, I would define it as a comfort place in my head, my state of mind and my perspective on love (which was strongly enriched by these movies) not the fact that I love or have loved people but rather the love that I still have in me, that I keep to myself and that I store for the future, that’s my 2046

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

And that's beautiful

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

The final video of the Wong Kar Wai series and the final video of 2022. I know I haven't released as much as I did last year but I hope the videos I have released you have enjoyed. I'm not going to make any promises for 2023 but I'm hoping for it to be a good year with way more videos released. Thanks for watching this year and I'll see you all in 2023!

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Nice! what else is on the list?

[@julieannsarabia]

@filmisjustmovingpictures Perfect Days, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, I'm a Cyborg But That's Okay, Shoplifters, Wings of Desire, Cold War, Arrival, Love Me if You Dare, Pan's Labyrinth, The Assassin, The Lobster, Spy, The Fall and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. 2046 and The Sacrifice are being screened at The Roxie theater this weekend so I'll get to see it on a big screen for the full experience 😊

[@Brilleetoile]

I fell in love with that movie, mostly because I could relate so much with the "unrequited" part. It was the first time that I was watching a movie which nailed that feeling in the most perfect and tragic way. My favourite Wong Kar Wai movie for sure 💛

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Kinda slept on 2046

[@jonruffolo]

Thank you for making this. I was looking for a well made analysis on this movie and finally came across this! I watched the movie for the first time last night, after watching Days of Being Wild and In the Mood For Love, and can’t stop thinking about it. I felt like I could melt into the atmosphere, like the rhythm of the editing was just taking me along for a ride.

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Thanks for the kind words :) Comments like these inspire me to keep making videos because if it helps just one person then it's worth the time making them

[@jonruffolo]

@@filmisjustmovingpictures please do! I subscribed, and I just watched Chungking Express tonight and absolutely loved it. I’m going to watch your video on it tomorrow!

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Hopefully you enjoy it

This analysis was something out of the norm. Nothing but the absolute best for you and your future. Big ups.

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@infographie]

That's interesting, thanks for posting this. I'll share the video.

[@TheDoomer666]

trying to overcome my 2046 I lost 5 years ago; company won't do much in the nights when I wake up still feeling lonely and kind of empty

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

hey, never be angry with yourself for choosing to listen to your heart because that's the point of living. it hurts when it doesn't work out but keep following your heart's choice, it might not always plan out but it's a more beautiful way to live i think

[@TheDoomer666]

​@@filmisjustmovingpicturesthanks for dropping by, I'm battling hard with this situation but kind of have everything in place so that by next month I'll be able to give proper closure, it's been a long bargaining and depression stage... I'm willing to accept that if she's happy, I'll be too, btw there's magic in your video, I'm glad of having watched it again today, helped me recall that love doesn't work the same for everyone and I must do best with my individual outcomes

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

​@@TheDoomer666 so, i wrote chungking express, happy together, in the mood of love, and 2046 at a time when someone special to me left my life, and so i get what you are going through to an extent, and then they came back into my life earlier this year to then leave, leaving me feeling so shitty...the world is lonely , it's the reason why i started making videos in the first place because it justified my lonliness...i won't tell you how to feel because i recently made a video about the joy of being sad, i still feel sad, but that's okay. cry. i did. we are not robots, we are a people with such complex emotions that we often forget about that. find closure in your own way at your own speed. life really sucks sometimes but please don't forget that life is so fucking beautiful as well and we are all part of that beauty. it's easy to say all this, it's so much harder to put into practice...but we all have to try...don't regret listening to your heart and always stay kind as much as you can. you got this!

[@TheDoomer666]

so, it was yesterday; having been her birthday last week and now Christmas' eve, it was the perfect occasion to invite her out, share a special moment, and speak my mind to attain peace, I invited her to dine out, she said yes, I said great! drop me a line this weekend and I'll pick you up, so we settled a date, the day arrived, I was ready, she decided to don't write me back, ever, no explanation, no apology, so much in so little.

[@9anatwalo31]

Very insightful analysis, you nailed it!

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Thank you!

[@py-2]

Magnifique vidéo ! Bravo ! My 2046 is really complex. It's all about the journey ! But nothing is more beautiful than love. I think experiences initiate us. A film like this invites us to reflect. I'm really sensitive bro...

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

We all are bro... I'm with you

[@anthonymason4999]

Beautiful movie just finished. Spot on breakdown! Honestly, Bravo

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@lennartpennart]

This video is one of the best videos regarding the story of a film I have ever seen, and your question: What's your 2046? That's a real heavy question. Where or with whom should I start? I hope that everyone watching this has had, or will have had, a happy 2046, one that results in a happy ending, whether it ended or not.

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

still waiting on my 2046

What an explanation !❤

[@PKacademy317]

My time was the right time When I first got to experience love I did what I wouldn't do for anyone else so much so, I became an enemy with only one good friend Which was kind of a big deal because I was typically lonely so I thought the girl was the one to feel that viod on my heart At last.. She wasn't. Never listened to my conversations, never understood my feelings, never spend any much time with me and never even cared But after all I feel like it was good I got to experience it because after then I realized what love truly is and feared I would never love again because you simply just cannot find the one that matches your expectations

I don't have 2046, don't know if i should be happy or sad.

[@filmisjustmovingpictures]

@@Palette-without-paint maybe not having a 2046 is your 2046

[@1stEarlOfSurrey]

Good news is, when you finally, fully wake, and realise romantic love is just a dream, just a myth, you truly begin to live.

[@elviradebbarman9267]

Where can one watch these movies?

[@Better_Call_Bulba-Saur]

t's a mystery to me why Chow wouldn't get together with Bai Ling. Just because she doesn't write kung fu novels or doesn't have the full name he likes doesn't mean she can't be with a man like him. I don't think it's fair of him to take it against her that her savings are full of tenners when he's the one who gave them to her in the first place.

[@babynugget706]

TBH it's because it is a more memorable ending. If Romeo & Juliet got together at the end, it would be less memorable. Tragedies work better which is why this was the same. In terms of analysis of Chow's character though from a story perspective, there could be many different reasons. Including he simply did not have the same type of love for her that he did with Su Li-zhen.
