Chungking Express (重庆森林) [literally "Chungking Forest"] directed by Wong Kar-wai
Music: The Mamas & the Papas - California Dreamin'

Lyrics:
"All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day"

He has great business sense. First he sold me fish and chips, then the whole thing.

I've watched this movie to death and for the life of me couldn't understand why it was so special until today when it finally hit me! The happiness comes from how innocent the movie is. Everything in the second part, the story, the emotions, the dialogue is just full of innocence and it's just absolutely heart warming!

This actress kills the game. I'm sure the director was in love to shoot her like that.

[beril]

This movie warms my heart and make me feel melancholic and happy at the same time

Fun fact: Faye Wong commenting on herself winning the Best Actress for this movie at Stockholm Film Festival 1994: "That's so strange."

[Kevin-fjoe]

ah, The Golden Age of Hong Kong Cinema

[nico_chopper_br]

The guard actor is one of the most charismatic actors I have ever seen. He makes u wanna be friends with him idk

When Hong Kong was called Hollywood of the east in the 90s 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰

i've seen this movie like 5 times and i'm not bored of it yet. i really do recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, it's beautiful in its own way :)

Although the trespassing part was creepy, but in a metaphorical sense it was cute. She entered into his space(heart/mind) unknowingly and changed everything, and he slowly accepted it.

"Where do you want to go?"
Wherever you want to take me.

this song made me to watch the movie again

[nandaswannyee]

After i’ve watched Chungking express, this song is spinning in my head . Amazing movie and soundtracks

[pigeonheadspace]

I remember after I watched this movie for the first time, i couldn't get enough of it and kept searching and searching for similar movies. Before Sunrise, Midnight in Paris, The scent of Green papaya, Fallen Angels...I watched it all in pursuit of the same whimsical feel this movie so beautifully encompassed . And while all of them were extremely enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing, I never found in them the same feelings and sensations that chungking express evoked in me . And that's when I realised that there simply isn't any movie out there that has brings this whimsical, hopeful, nostalgic vibe quite as well as this one does. Chungking Express is a classic for that reason, it can't be replicated and there's no movie quite like this. Wong karwai's best work truly.

I can't stress how stellar Wong Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle are together as a team. Discovered them 3 days ago, have watched 9 of his films since then, and I don't regret a second of it.

I love Faye. She's not afraid to let out her little inner child and enjoy life a little. A simple thing that is hard to do but we all need

[suzukutsukishima]

If your heart is as natural as faye you don't need to look for someone to being loved. you'll loved by someone who is very special one day. Trust me❣️

It was 07 or 08. I was 14 and we were on vacation in Malaysia with my parents and my brother. I was doing the rounds of rides in the amusement park in Genting Highlands when I spotted a girl at the bumper cars. She was really cute and I was completely smitten. I went on the bumper cars for 4 rounds just because she went too. During one round, we were going to collide head on, I saw her close her eyes and brace for impact. At the last second I veered right and narrowly missed her. (yeah simp whatever). That was the last round after which she disappeared somewhere. I still think about this dumb thing sometimes wondering what ever happened to her. Reason I'm recollecting this is coz she looked exactly like a younger version of the actress. The same almond shaped face, short hair, slim physique and a nonchalant attitude.

[fooxid]

Can't understand how I find this but I like it

[lebarosky]

Someone else can talk about Andy Lau. Faye Wong has more charisma on camera than almost any other actress I have ever seen. And I am old. She's like watching a flare burning.
