[ 695. 2046 ]
Watched 2046 today with DY, Weiming & Eric. If you asked the gullible me, my first impression of the movie was some sort of a futuristic movie about how the world may function 50 years later. But when in fact, i guess Wong Kar Wai is toying with that idea, while making other relations within the movie such as the guest room number (2046) and such. 2046 is a concept; an ideal place. Not exactly a time on the line, but rather a place with a name.
Essentially the movie is not for the simple. Trust me: i had difficulty connecting concepts within the movie. Actually one hting about me, i'm always more interested in the cinematography & directing of the movies more than the plot itself. Understanding the plot is always secondary to me. I have to applaud Wong Kar Wai for this movie. Conceptually challenging, and with a lot of implicating scenes. Successful artistic attempts made. Graphics for the train... no comments. Storyline not that fantastic, could be pretty draggy and repetitive (unneccesarily).
Let's explore a little about the plot. Something that was mentioned during the movie was this thing abou writing stories. Whenever one writes a story, one inevitably writes in what he has experienced, he feels, his views and what nots into that story. In short, it's a mirror to one face of his life. Something i saw from a site: "Think about it. Every modern form of entertainment. Is it not about peeping into the world of someone else? Every story you tell, that you share, with friends or acquaintances, is it not a disclosure of either your knowledge or experience? Are you not baring yourself naked for someone else to examine and review?". How true.
Ok, that's all for food for thought. I getting zonked out. I slept less than 3 hours in the past 41 hours. Don't ask why.
