If you rank the mainland romances, the King of Sunglasses' movies are definitely on the list. But I don't know when I started to pick the best in everything, the okonomiyaki has to be the best, the canned meat has to be the best, and even the clingfilm has to be the best. I'm beginning to wonder which of Wong Kar Wai's movies is the best.
Chongqing Forest
Chongqing Forest has nothing to do with Chongqing, and even less to do with the forest, and what it has to do with is every single one of you and me who have fallen out of love.
After He Zhiwu fell out of love, he went to a convenience store and bought thirty cans of canned pineapple that were about to expire - his ex-girlfriend's favorite food.
Just like those expired cans of pineapple, their love also completely expired.
Then he met a woman wearing sunglasses and a raincoat in a bar, and he said, "You must be out of love, it's okay, I'll come with you, I can lend you a shoulder, the people who are out of love need people to be with them.
He Zhiwu did not know that this sentence, the woman wearing sunglasses have not listened to it, just as he did not know, this sentence is actually said to the woman, or said to himself.
After the breakup, 663 became a motionless loner.
The letter left to him by his ex-girlfriend he never took with him, much less opened to read. He became sensitive and nostalgic, ordering his ex-girlfriend's favorite chef's salad every time he went home and talking to soaps, towels, and stuffed dolls.
Everyone knew the pain of 663's loneliness but himself. He continued to go through the motions, living as if his ex-girlfriend had never left, or as if she had never come.
He just wallowed in his loneliness, not even noticing the changes around him.
Lost love was all of a moment, but the pain could last for ages.
The good news was that a careful girl came into 663's world, changing his towels, soap, and the water in his fish tank, and these small changes filled 663's world.
Separated from people coming and going, the observer and the observed are equally lonely.
But it doesn't stop these two from coming together in the end.
Even though Chongqing Forest seems so sad, it is still a warm story. It tells us:
Losing love is really no big deal, as long as there happens to be someone beside you at that time who has a crush on you, the world will slowly brighten up.
How does it feel sadder? (Manual smile)
