the editing was really great ❤

Great work, I’m glad I found you🎉

0:49 what was that beat!

Don't use this music

Eu sou praticamente obcecada por esse tipo de abordagem em romance, a sutileza, o quase toque, a agonia de saber que eles poderiam se beijar, mas tem um abismo muito grande entre eles. É por isso que Orgulho e Preconceito é tão ipinotizante. Eu ando escrevendo sobre isso e no meio de tantos filmes e livros com cenas de sexo exageradas, isso é um respiro de alívio. Afinal, que anseio é esse de ver dois corpos se tocando? A arte mora nas sutilezas ❤

Thank you for the recommendation. I wouldn't have watched this movie for a bunch of reasons - one of which is that I am almost always turned off when I see the cliche of romance. Instead my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed "Past Lifes". And we went through a proper walk through memory lane regarding our own story (which was also long distance for a few years).

I watched Mulholland Drive when I was still too young and inexperienced to understand it but it really made a huge impression on my teenage self. I still listen to Llorando sometimes when I'm feeling melodramatic lol

Now I understand why I love slow-paced movies. Maybe that's also why I loved "Portrait of a lady on fire", but I should re watch it to confirm if what you said actually make sense with that movie.

Watch 96, a Tamil film..epitome of love

This was so beautiful, and actually explained to me what an elder photographer said when I asked him what to study to train my film eye: “study Japanese block printing”. “It is the emptiness that emphasizes fullness,” as you said. WOW. 🙏🏽

I think im the only one who hasn't ever been in love

I read the title as 'when a dictator actually knows what romance looks like' and I was really confused for a few seconds of my life.😂

Hey man you are clearly talented and video was great. But please choose background music better it almost fully ruined a great video. Keep it up !!!

Thanks for this essay. It put into words something that I've never been able to explain to myself quite properly, the reason why I usually dislike romantic movies. It's like someone else in the comments said: it's not that the subject is boring, it's just that filmmakers often don't know how to approach it in a meaningful and relatable way.

This "real" representation of love makes me feel like the characters are kind of sad rather than being happy or at peace. I don't know what it really feels like to be in love with somebody, but I sure have felt those 'voids', those long silences walking side by side. They don't feel good.

your video is too good but the background music was bad until it stops at 2:40

I'm a student in Taipei Chien Kuo High School, which is the brighter summer day that was shot. I'm also Edward Yang's huge fan, and I appreciate this video. It's beautiful. CK is also where Edward Yang finished his high school. I heard that the murder happened when he was studying here. (im not quite sure about that) btw, the high school is nearly unchanged. The red building has been my fav part of my high school since I saw the brighter summer day. oh, btw, again, the school where the daughter in Yi Yi studied is Taipei First Girls High School. It is just 500 meters away from CK. I have some friends there.

When my ex girlfriend broke up with me, my thoughts were not filled with us having sex, or long, passionate eye contact. No slow motion view of her in the sunlight or the way her voice sounded perfect every time. My thoughts were filled with quiet walks with her hand in mine, the warmth of her cheek on my chest, our stupid conversations about Vtubers, and sharing a quiet meal together. Love, when genuine, is always in the little things.

As someone who doesn't really like romantic movies at all, this comment section is kinda whacky. Some people say that all Westerns romantic movies are dirty/porn-like and all that, I can't help but ask maybe the problem is you? One of my fav romantic movie (the one I actually tolerate and like) is Before Sunrise. There's nothing vulgar about that movie. In fact, it has all properties of what makes a good romantic movie - dialogs, focus on emotions and connections between people. Exactly what Past Live is doing. Past Lives to me is a deeply sad movie about being stuck in the past, to dwell on something that long gone. The worst part, being the one who stuck on lost feeling, lost opportunity for love meanwhile the other person is moved on long time ago and happy with their new life, focusing on what's present and given.

This video is simply lovely. Brilliant 👏

The Bulgarian film Ága has very little dialogue, while not entirely a romantic film, I found the representation of the protagonists marriage life beautiful.

Oh yes Satoshi Kon, I still remember the feeling of disappointment when I heard he has already died and I would never get more of that something special

Masaki Yuasa is truely unique and I like how he uses his resources in movement and camera to distort reality into something personal like how fast you feel when you’re falling from high place vs shot of falling camera

The most annoying romance films are the ones that are basically pornos in disguise. Exploiting basic libido and parading it as ordinary art is serious clownery. Glad you covered these subtle and more thoughtful pieces. Nice video essay.

Was there seriously a romance film between Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet? Never would’ve expected that.

The best analysis without an excessively long run time or wordiness. This person understands cinema and reflects that in their videos

Does anyone know what is Edward Yang camera technique?

Another great example of this technique is the film The Zone of Interest. It's a very powerful piece that happened to be nominated for Best Picture this year. I highly recommend folks give it a watch!

Love your videos! I wanna compete with you! In 1 month i’ll have as many subscribers as you do now. Mark my words 🥳❤️‍🔥

analysis at its purest form! really great work!

i was fully expecting just a 5 minute clip of some movie, but this was cool too

Great video! The centre of gravity of Cinema is still Hollywood, but that could change soon... Asian movies are conquering more and more prestige. Their way to make movies looks so full of identity and folkloristic whitohut the need to imitate Americans...There's a lot to discover!

Faye Wong, Tony Leung & Chang Chen ! And produced by WKW ! I need to check this one out. Great stuff as always my friend ❤

I keep telling people "romance is not by itself a boring movie subject, it's just that we don't really know how to make them". There have been good romance movies, but sadly love is the most drowned-in-cliches subject EVER.

Jeffery Lau is Hong Kong not Chinese. You would never get this level of creativity and innovation out of China.

What do you have to say about Johnnie To?

This video reminded me of Some like it hot

This film looks really funny, I'll give it a watch, thanks for the suggestion, I like that you do not stick to the mainstream cinema but explore to expand our culture. Thank you

Note that there's an exception to my argument about Tarantino: Django Unchained, that is more "opened" to make the style count outside its own sake. Anyway, enjoy the video, I hope you all can discover the little masterpiece of comedy that is Chinese Odyssey 2002!

not related to the video but repent and believe in JESUS CHRIST! john 3:16, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

To hollywood love is all about kisses n sex…cant blame them…thts how hollywood was built

I watched this movie last night and loved it, but I felt like you left out some crucial details when describing their relationship: mainly, you made it seem like Nora and Hae Song were so intimate and close that they didn't need to hold hands or talk all the time or be sexually passionate in order to know that they loved each other. In actuality, they have a really good reason not to be affectionate (namely, her husband). The tension in that situation is heartbreaking, but it definitely wasn't what I expected from watching this video. Glad you convinced me to watch it though!

im so alone

Another way the film WALL-E was so great 😉

This is why I always adore asian romance movies instead of Hollywood. Asian has better storyline and complexion. Makes them feels really pure and lovely. Otherwise Hollywood only do kisses, sex. I really hate it. Makes women just as an object

bro, I like commentary videos but you might want to improve on your audio and voice over. Audio is too loud, pick something on consistent volume instead of heavy percussion. The voice over is weirdly spaced out like you're reading a script for the first time. It feels unnatural and insincere. Please dont take this as hate, but opinion on how you can still improve your content. Good luck!

What’s this movie called?

Before Sunrise (1995)

Good video but the music is too loud compared to the voice

I love this video
