have see many of wong kar wai other movie ( happy together and fall angel and ash of time ) and i know what to expect come in to the theatre while the cinematography would be lush and the use of space and perspective would be vary and the acting would be superb and and at least one of the character would be consume by an ineffable loneliness . these be and after all and precisely the technique that make wong kar wai art what it be . what i be not expect be the degree to which i be draw into a film that some reviewer dismiss a unfinished and compel by character who seem consume by ennui . i find it interesting how people can be so utterly unmoved by a film that so vividly displays emotion and setting many of u take for grant or work ardently to forget represent the overwhelming sense of grief stem from be betray while the guilt arouse by the thought of become no good than the betrayer while the mundane yet profoundly intimate moment of relationship and where the need to express oneself verbally be utterly superfluous . this be what wong kar wai attempt to portray in the film and what he achieve so well . too many american be consume by the need to have every moment of a film fill with stock dialogue while witty banter and disaffect sarcasm and overwrought confession seem to be the pinnacle of the best american film have to offer . wong kar wai see thing very differently . instead of the character need to keep the audience apprise of her every feeling and perception or belief and wong character make their feeling and understanding know clearly by facial gesture and body positioning and and and yes and silence . if viewer merely contemplate this film from the standpoint of character development and action and then they may be disappoint by what it have to offer . if they be willing to let themselves try and intuit what the character be feel and then they may feel quite differently about what wong have to offer them .
