When I first watched this film I find it quite boring and felt detached as a viewer from the characters'. The cinematography was stunning but that's all for me. They don't have much dialogues so you don't know the characters and therefore don'; t care about them.
Afterwards I realized how highly praised this film was. I watched a bunch of film critic essay videos and I guess I can appreciate the film more than before. But it remains a boring, dreadful movie to me that doens't move me much. Filming technique and artfulness does not make a film great. It is about the story and how well it is told.
Maybe I don't have a heart, but I just can't come to like this movie as much as most people does.

This is my favorite film, hands down. I tried to explain the gist of it to some friends and I got bogged down on the music, the camera movements, the story. I didn't know how to convey everything that this film offers in my own words. Everything in this movie is sad and beautiful at the same time. Thanks, crashcourse.

the map that shows 1962 china under communism, but it also includes taiwan, which is completely wrong. i wish this was more accurate. another thing this criticism misses is that they're also being watched by the society around them. so much of their interactions with one another are restrained because of that.

-we won't be like them-
Bulshit.
Only if they could have realized how precious was the thing that had developed between them.
Platonic love? Non sense.
No point in living miserable life knowing that something better is possible without compromising values.
I'm frustrated watching this film.

Watching Wong Kar wais movies is like walking through memories you have never experienced. I watched Chung King Express and Fallen angels and they have like created a void in my heart and have sat there and they refuse to leave. But now I'm going to force myself to watch in the mood for love.

Holy smokes - did anyone else notice that the map at about 7: 15 implies that Taiwan is part of People's Republic of China, instead of a separate country? Doesn't seem like a likely accident, does it?

Please do an analysis of Capernaum! It won the jury's award at Cannes for Best Film. It should have been nominated for Best Film at the Oscar's and won, but there are politics at play.

I'd pay money for this gentleman to stop moving his hands across each word in the sentence like a typewriter.
Excellent critique. Seriously distracting hands: )
