This energy is best suited for a film that’s rather happy in nature, yet the content and mood adds to make something sad, hence an incredibly bittersweet result. Most of it was done in a low shutter and there’s an aspect that gives it the feeling of watching a music video as it adds more to the energy of such a piece. The filmmaking style is another part as to where everything is made so gripping. It’s interesting how Wong Kar-wai emphasizes on these details for it adds more to just how realistic the details of isolation are and just as we watch how these details are glossed over in this manner adds up to why I find so much of it so personally affecting. I’m not in any sort of relationship but the loneliness adds more to the awkwardness of being so close to anyone of the opposite gender, now matter how small of a distance it may be. Wong Kar-wai places so much emphasis on the simplest details of an action, for even the smallest distances say so much more.

I’ll forewarn anyone reading, this is possibly to be a rambling of thoughts for even after a viewing, my love of Chungking Express strengthens more and more upon thoughts. It’s something so simple we hang onto but our dedication just compels us. It’s something that means so much to us, even if it’s already moved on, we still hang on. A small part of me only goes to think about how I’m not willing to let go of a memory inside of my head, whether it be that of a romantic affair or anything personal that’s just rooted inside of our head.

There are lots of films which we can think about them more and just the many ways in which we find ourselves connecting with them and Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express is one of those films for someone like myself.
