Most of the shots in the film "Chongqing Forest" came from chungking mansions. Chungking mansions represents the crowded, prosperous and noisy city, but the forest wants to give people a feeling of emptiness and loneliness. The depressed and real urban forest implies that people are eager for pure love and long-term contact.
The first character in the film is He, a policeman, number 233. Monologue diagram, lonely figure, in lovelorn, easy to be emotional.
"The day we broke up was April Fool's Day, so I always thought she was joking. I was willing to let her joke for a month. From the day we broke up, I bought a can of canned pineapple that expired in May 1 every day, because pineapple is the favorite in May, and May 1 is my birthday. I told myself that when I bought 30 cans, if she didn't come back, the relationship would expire. "
He has been waiting for a call from his girlfriend, and he is still thinking about her favorite canned pineapple. However, May 1 is the deadline that must be reached. At 24:00 that day, everything was over and it ended hastily.
"I don't know when, everything has changed. Saury will expire, meat sauce will expire, and even plastic wrap will expire. I began to wonder, is there anything in this world that will not expire? "
I also fantasized that the other party would miraculously change their minds, but when I lost it, I could never come back. Melancholy 233 ate 30 canned pineapples, but he knew there was nothing but his stomach and heart.
At this time, another woman is also fighting for her own destiny and changing. In order to sell drugs to the man she loves and become a beauty killer, she always wears glasses and a raincoat. You can only see her indifference and caution from her appearance. Keeping a sense of distance and mystery is a kind of defense, afraid of being hurt.
When two lonely people are together, the ending is double loneliness. He met her in a pub. He told his story. She smoked and said nothing, and her heart was choppy.
"In fact, knowing someone doesn't mean anything. People change. Today he likes pineapples, and tomorrow he can like something else. "
In the era of material abundance and emotional overflow, nothing is irreplaceable.
Pleasure is a corner of urban life for men and women. Fast food love can't last long, leaving only deeper desolation and loneliness. We are very close in physics, but the inner distance is alienating. We dare not approach it easily, let alone believe it.
Two lovelorn and lonely people spent the night in a room in the building. She slept soundly, and he couldn't sleep all night. The ambiguous smell in the room can't hide the loneliness inside.
Passing by, is to know or to forget. After dawn, 233 left the room in clean high heels and went running alone. I received her greeting unexpectedly: "Happy birthday from your friend in room 702."
"When I was closest to her, the distance between us was only 0.0 1 cm. I know nothing about her. Six minutes later, she fell in love with another man. " Next story, opening.
Effie, a new employee of the snack bar, plays a California dream on the tape recorder. She shook her body. The patrolman with number 663 came over, ordered dinner and looked at Effie. At that moment, his tired and tortured heart got some comfort.
"Snacks have so many choices, not to mention friends? A good chef's salad, what fish and chips should I change? "
Tony Leung Chiu Wai said this sentence helplessly, because his girlfriend left, 663 became empty and helpless. He wanted to change his taste, but he hesitated and fell into a hopeless predicament. He knew that he would never find the familiar smell again.
The midnight snack boss advised him: "Then don't wait, she chooses her, you choose yours, and drinking black coffee every day is not the way." Beside, Effie also pretended as if nothing had happened, nodding while mopping the floor.
"After she left, many things at home were very sad. I had to comfort them every night to fall asleep." When he got home, he was playing with soap, weighing a towel, holding a doll and talking to himself. Dreaming that my girlfriend is still there, the sting of lovelorn comes again and again, and it is difficult to get rid of my thoughts and pain.
Love disappeared, so I had to clean up the mess silently. When loneliness is deep, no matter how you enjoy it, you can't make up for the inner blank and the loneliness of your soul.
An unexpected letter made Effie understand 663' s heart. I left a key in the letter. Then she sneaked into 633' s house.
She added new fish to the fish tank, tidied her clothes and cleaned the whole house carefully, trying to make him feel warm, change his life and get rid of depression.
Do something wonderful almost neurotically. This secret love is only related to her, and liking someone is entirely your own business.
"I don't know if I forgot to turn off the tap at work, or if my family is getting more and more emotional. I always thought it was strong, but who knew it would cry so hard. When a person cries, you know to give him a pack of paper towels, but when a house cries, you have to do a lot of work. "
When he got home, he saw that the floor was full of water. Perhaps the feelings with the house are getting stronger and stronger, and the house is filled with the smell of Effie, which is a kind of love.
She was at a loss when she accidentally bumped into each other. She fell asleep at his house that afternoon. "That girl fell asleep at my house that afternoon. I want to wake her up, but I don't know why I didn't do that. "
Slowly, the distance between heart and heart narrowed, and he accepted her.
Men are always slow. When they are waiting for her in the hotel, Effie leaves quietly, leaving only a letter. Opening the envelope, it was a hand-painted boarding pass, and he understood her intention.
A year later, Effie returned to her old snack bar from California in a stewardess uniform. Nothing seems to have changed. It's still the same song "California Dream", but the boss changed it to 633. She smiled at him in casual clothes and felt relieved.
However, for them, this moment is only the beginning. ......
We long for love, but we lose it again and again. Some people give up love, while others love it. Lonely heart, want to get sustenance in love. In the noisy city, people are so small, and the sense of existence they want is also buried in love.
In every urban forest, there are a group of people, rushing by, lonely and lovelorn, who have been living in the California dream.
