(вЂњA telephone that rings but whoвЂ™s to answerвЂќ). ThereвЂ™s a scene in which a phone rings in a telephone booth, which reminds us of the lyrics of Billie HolidayвЂ™s These Foolish Things. The movie tells the story of the two policemen whose troubles come from their romantic relationships with women. Its inspiration is derived from Murakami HarukiвЂ™s novels. Is this contradiction in the attitude of вЂњWestвЂќ and вЂњEastвЂќ towards the past related to the dreadful fate of Hong Kong, the city that was taken away from the mainland by British colonialism after the Opium Wars and then returned to China after 99 years?Д¬hungking Express (1994) was the movie that earned Wong Kar-wai international renown. One interesting detail of the movie plot is that whereas the Malevolent West wants to remember things happening in the past, the Sinister East wants to forget them. The characters Ouyang Fang (Malevolent West) and Huang Yaoshi (Sinister East) are from T he Legend of the Condor Heroes, but the movie was about their early lives when they had yet been well-known swordsmen. Wong Kar-waiвЂ™s third film, Ashes of Time (1994), was loosely based on a wuxia novel written by Jin Yong. He simply records everything on set, and only organizes them in the editing room. Rather, he follows the actors with a handheld camera, oftentimes accompanying his cinematographer Chris Doyle. Wong Kar-wai is famous for his open-ended improvisation film-making technique he hardly sticks to a prewritten script.

This theme of searching for oneвЂ™s own origin perhaps has something to do with the identity The characters and the story plot remind us of My Own Private Idaho, directed by Gus Van Sant and released in 1991, which also portrayed the journey of a beautiful young man in search of his mother. However, his mother refused to validate him, and he was subsequently killed by the gangsters on a train. Such uncertainty prompts Yuddy to look for his mother in the Philippines. The movie follows the odyssey of Yuddy (Leslie Cheung), who seems to be in full control of his relationships with his two girlfriends (Maggie Cheung and Carina Lau) and his best friend (Jacky Cheung), yet at the same time, heвЂ™s so uncertain about his origin and always longing for seeing the mother that left him. In 1990, Wong Kar-wai released his second movie, Days of Being Wild, whose setting was in the 60sвЂ™ Hong Kong. This very first movie of Wong Kar-wai already showed the Hollywood influences on his film-making style. It tells the story of a gangster (Andy Lau) caught between the demands of his partner (Jacky Cheung), and his girlfriend (Maggie Cheung). His first publicly recognized movie was As Tears Go By (1988), a fast-paced gangland movie set in Kowloon, an urban area of Hong Kong, which was somewhat reminiscent of Martin ScorseseвЂ™s Mean Streets (1973). Wong Kar-wai was born in Shanghai in 1958, but he was brought up in Hong Kong. PhбєЈi biбєїt cГЎm ЖЎn, phбєЈi biбєїt xin lб»—i, vГ phбєЈi biбєїt quГЄn. The key to unlocking it is that word, вЂњimagineвЂќ. Most folks think thatвЂ™s a love song, but if you listen closely, youвЂ™ll hear itвЂ™s about a relationship that never actually happened.
