i forgive some of the shoddy editing coz it was just the product of its time. Wong Kar-Wai. man. you just get it, don't you? the intimacy of proximity, the touching but not quite—ugh. they're such good characters. ofc, this film is artsy, so my dumb ass sometimes took a second to connect the dots and context, BUT IT WAS OKAYY. idk why my girl ended up being late to meet him so that they could go to singapore together. it's tragic. it's the type of thing u keep looking back to. idk if she divorced her husband fr or not. i found it so interesting that we never saw the faces of their spouses; it concentrates the focus on the main two characters and i love that choice. this movie is just INTIMACY OF SMALL THINGS MAN. THE WAY SHE MAKES HIM SESAME SOUP WHEN HE'S SICK (even tho she rarely ever cooks for herself), HIM RUNNING OFF TO GET AN UMBRELLA FOR HER AND THEN STAYING TO KEEP HER COMPANY IN THE RAIN, CLANDESTINELY WRITING A STORY TOGETHER!!??!! aw man they were literally soulmates 😔 right person wrong time? something like that. kudos to the edit someone on instagram made to Coming Down by The Weekend that made me finally watch this movie.
