"Been delving back into Wong Kar-Wai's older work of late. Liked this one better than 'Fallen Angels', being more along the lines of a sentimental bittersweet love story and character study like '2046' or 'In the Mood for Love', but it still falls a bit short of the mark. The story was a bit confusing, especially near the end (which character were we watching get all 'duded up' at the end? the cop? the main lead? what happened to getting shot and knived?), but the relationships and romantic dynamics felt fairly true, especially with regard to how love, infatuation and obsession never seem to quite sync up and be wholly reciprocated -- girls always seem to fall for the cad, and nice guys seem to always finish last. Maggie Cheung is incredibly photogenic as usual, and gives an affecting performance as a sad mouse of a girl, who eventually grows a little backbone and gets over the smooth talking lothario Leslie Cheung, who for all his 'cool rese ...

"There was a beautiful girl who I once was in a relationship with (although this girl is now a woman living somewhere, she exists in my memory as a girl). The only chance we had to meet was when our relationship had a slim chance of working out. I was pushing to be with her. She pushed me away. We got together anyway. We always had the same fight. Was I going to ruin her life? Keep her from her ambitions? She never pictured herself with a guy like me. Then, one day, she did. She wanted to marry me. But by that point, the argument we had over and over again had left me wanting to leave. I couldn't shake it. I was through. Every few months for years afterward she would call me and ask the same question, "Why didn't we work out?" Every time she called I tried to give her an answer that both of us knew was weak at best. The truth was I didn't know. I still don't. By the time she was ready to start a serious relationship I was finished. Bad timing.
