Wong Kar-wai ‖ Philosopher of loneliness

[@atwodollarnote]

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.

I guess it is quite off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?

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

[@FeonaLeeJones]

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

[@michaelv9609]

His film always make me sad, in a beautiful way

[@PUROFUCKMETAL]

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

[@niasthppa1769]

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...

YOU DID NOT TALK ABOUT 2046 . a Masterpiece

[@FlyingOrbProductions]

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

[@bkhan0186]

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

[@josb9836]

Great video, one thing I’d love to see talked about is his use of music tho

What is this a reference to?

[@praveenkumar-zd2lx]

Did anyone notice .... Mr chow hotel room no. Is actually the title of its sequel movie

[@robertbeckerbecker1354]

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.

[@XtanXaid]

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

[@minuatri2565]

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

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

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

Correction. Hong Kong director. Not Chinese

[@milinlim5211]

Hong Kong is his city, China is his country.

[@isonny2010]

@@milinlim5211 Like it or not. With all of Hong Kong past economical and cultural success were not given by the mainland China. 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.

[@isonny2010]

@@milinlim5211 Oh would you like me to remind you what your mainlanders were busying back in the 60s? Your grandparants either busy killing their own folks or busy following orders blindly! 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.

[@isonny2010]

@@togo7022 And a lot of businessman fled mainland china during the culture devolution period would later call themselves Hong Kongers because CCP has literally destroyed their business assets and livelihood. same thing that I would never call myself as chinese because I would never associate myself with tyrannical governments that runs concentration camps and committing genocide

[@MTMF.london]

@@isonny2010 Yup, the Chinese government have been wiping or rewriting the history of the 60s and 70s Mainland China. Lets hope Hong Kong will be free once again in the future - do not give up the fight.
