Franchescanado posted:In The Mood For Love is actually one part of a loose tetralogy of films by Wong Kar-Wai. They are, in order: I can confirm it's alright to watch these out of order. Seeing Chungking Express in a class first year of college is what kicked off my interest in film. That was around the time 2046 came out so I went to see the new Wong Kar-wai movie with no context at all and loved it.

My take on it is that the relationship definitely gets physical. Evidence is the second to last scene where it's four years later and we see her with a child about that age. It feels pretty clearly implied that's Tony Leung's kid.

Voodoofly posted:I think that's a valid interpretation, but I think its just as likely it was a child she had with her husband in the normal course of life. Again, the movie to me plays out like idealized memories, excluding all of the real life complications that actually happened (like having a child with your spouse, or maybe having a messy real life relationship with your neighbor, having a child out of wedlock, being shunned, the other moving away to save face, whatever). It just my personal view that, in the relationship we get to see on screen, they never crossed over that platonic line, for better and probably for a lot worse. That's fair. It's definitely left ambiguous and Wong does not want to give a clear answer. And really, while I kind of like talking about it, what's great about the movie is that the answer to a kind of big question doesn't actually feel that important. The details are there but really I'm watching to feel things and all the emotions are played perfectly. I guess I'll be rewatching these movies soon. Probably start with Days of Being Wild tonight
