Why Are Wong Kar-wai Films So Dreamy?

This is a pretty good breakdown of the films!

Christopher Doyle cinematography. his films without Doyle don't have that.

This is why people don’t like hearing the story behind a song. The story happens. It’s nice to have analysis, but honestly, it’s better just to experience

Be careful. The camera is less than the story

don't know why this came up on my feed 'cause I never heard of Wong Kar-wai, but i'm glad it did.

Beautiful video

Lol i teared up watching this video on "wherever if with you" moment

Because he is the best artist of the last 60years

Such an amazing video essay. You are so inspiring! I just created my first video essay and it was on Chungking Express also by Wong Kar-Wai. I absolutely loved making it and am so excited to start another. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback if you are ever interested! Keep crushing it.

as a person with astigmatism and a terrible eyesight i can confirm that i have been living in wong kar wai’s world all these time

My favorite director, in the mood for love is my favorite. Such a visionary. Thanks for the breakdown.

Analysis nailed! I just got introduced to this director, love his movies so far 2 days in a row and i can't wait for the weekend so i can stream more of his work. He really makes you reflect with a smile rather than sit wonder and regret. S/o to Mubi

I lost this video and now I have found you again.

The Grandmaster is my absolute favorite

aww, feels so good. dreamy, heartache yet heartwarming. Weird but thats life. a dreamy pic of life.

Thank you for this great and Illuminating analysis of his movies

In the Mood for Love was clearly the most mesmerizing movie I've ever seen in my life. I saw it for the first time on Turner Classic Movies a few years ago I came home from work and turned it on and the opening credits are beginning and I probably hardly moved a muscle until it was done and when it was done I just couldn't believe what it happened I'd never experienced anything like that in the movie before. Due in no small part to the slow-motion pans of Maggie Cheung, the seductive soundtrack and his Australian cinematographer

I love that chungking express reminds me of my visit to hongkong in the 90s. I just love the feeling that the movie gave me.

Uh... heroin.

thank you <333

Chunking Express is enchanting, especially the actress Faye Wong. She is absolutely the unique one.

100 percent WKW film is my go to comfort movies

I hope you can make a video about Fallen Angels as well! Very interested to hear your thoughs about it.

His films never disappoint.

Now there is the laundry and taxes scene in EEAAO which is truly a Homage to Wong Kar Wai

Great cinematography...great acting...great screenplays. What is not to love about WKW films?

Where can I watch WKW films now (2023) as I don't think they are currently screening on Mubi? I have several of his films on DVD - but I'm missing Chungking Express from my collection - and I would love to see the restored collection?

Homosexuality is not portrayed here, but it is real enough in Wong Kar-wai's universe, and ' Happy Together ' a solid statement in comparison with ' In the Mood for Love ' which is not. ' Happy Together ' hinted at but avoided at the same time. Heterosexuality is dominant, because if homosexuality had been shown explicitly, the heteronormative would have been put into jeopardy.

wow ^^ definitely will subscribe to your channel ♡

Christopher Doyle shot a couple of his films they were beautiful

I watched it everytime i got free all channel at indihome telkom indonesia and never get bored. Maggie cheung are just different from her act at regular 80s 90s hongkong movie. Since i was a child in 90s i always watched late night hongkong movie and my fave actress are maggie cheung and sylvia chang, oh also idy chan hairy armpit at return of condor heroes 🤭 but wong kar wai movie are just not like any other hong kong movie. I got that lowlight vibrant satiration atmosphere when using cinestill film with analogue camera 💖

한국어 자막 감사합니다 :)

제목에 끌려서 들어왔는데 온통 영어 영상이고 영어댓글인 뿐인 이유가 뭘까? 영상설명은 한국어인데 ... 혼란스럽고 몽환적이다. 이것은 꿈인가.

와 한국자막이 잇어서 너무 좋네요! 감사합니다

Did u said David fincher

WKW films are basically Liminal Spaces: The Movie.

What are the first and second song names?

A Great video on such a great director

These are poetic pieces. This made me get emotional. Thank you

Wunderbar

You could almost taste the sourness of loneliness in Takeshi Kaneshiro's canned pineapples and Tony Leung's chef salads.

what music did you use?

Beautiful sound

I could listen to the monologue about the pineapples in a loop.

Wong Kar-Wai is kind of the the Asian equivalent of Terence Malik
