@ in the mood for love

Damn, I wish that chicken scene made the Final Cut, as unfitting as it may have been. Same with the dance scene. Both scenes are so charming, no matter how tonally inappropriate they’d be. 

Great documentary to a great movie! I loved seeing and hearing all these little insights behind the production. The improvisational process seems to really reflect on the fluid, organic, and playful style that surprisingly work despite his super poignant films. 

It was super neat seeing the film in a smaller formatting in comparison to the blu-ray resolution I’m accustomed to. Maybe watching it on a 720p monitor with ultra-vibrant colors and a staticky screen is the intended way to watch?

This documentary is so good to watch. I was all smiles watching it. The behind the scene footage is so light-hearted and comforting as opposed to how poignant the film actually is.

The last 5 minutes of them travelling around the world to accept awards was amazing. We can truly see the quirkiness and whimsical nature of Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung.

This one hit home for someone who adores this film. The more I watch the special features in this criterion blu-ray the more deeply-rooted my love gets for ‘In the Mood for Love’. A timeless masterpiece.

I found this by accident, right after watching three 8 minute shorts surrounding these two characters. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so deeply, so strongly about a film before—those are some big words, I’m aware, but the certainty I feel about it burns me inside out.

It’s a beautiful way in which WKW, Tony and Maggie describe how it came to be. The multiple versions, the subtle differences, the twists and turns until its final form I came to watch and love. Aquellos Ojos Verdes, by Nat King Cole, it’s so important to this story. I can hear it even through the differences. All changes work as a multiverse of sorts. Kind of like parallel realities, where they always love each other. There’s this love they share that they cannot say, cannot express out loud. As Tony Leung so beautifully says, he’s been in love from the start. He loves her, he has always loved her. And, in a way, so has she. If I loved this film before watching this, I come out infinitely devoted to it now. My heart aches, again and in a good way, for the way the three of them describe the making of this. A true collaboration.

How strange, and marvelous, it is to love so deeply. To love without expectation of any kind, to love truly, madly, deeply, even at uncertainty and doubt of being as equally loved. To want nothing in return but to be able to love. This is a story of love, that’s true, but also one about an honest, genuine companionship. The bond between two people who truly understand each other, and will always understand each other.

I know love exists, because I’ve felt it— love exists, and has multiple forms. This one yearns, and breaks, and burns, and I’ve felt it just the same. If only the past stopped being the past, everything would hurt less. But if it did, would it really count? I don’t know. But I do know this: love hurts, but how else would we know we have ever loved?
