- Updated 3/9/22: I made this little montage nine years ago and now it has over two million views. Nice (makes me think I should do something with this channel...). I still love this montage. Back in the 90's I had that exact same stereo you see at the beginning and end of the video.
I love Wong Kar Wai. His films capture an aesthetic of Hong Kong I've never quite felt in other Cantonese films...
I agree, and Chungking Express is one of them
@@capttovgmc1500 i always meant to watch the movie
Me too
Is it cantonese or mandarin?
@@chrisszyyy mainland is mandarin cantonese is hk. i could be wrong tho ;)
there is an Amélie in Paris and a Faye Wong in Chungking Express
yes u said right
Yes!!!
Amélie was very much inspired by this film. Great films both of them
that is exactly what I was thinking!
a Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim, a Clementine in Eternal Sunshine and a Zooey Deschanel in every movie
this movie is innocent, pure and honest beauty, it brings you such a fresh and relieving vibe
@Sudhir Raghu This film is one little gem of a movie. Such a heart touching film. So heart flutteringly endearing. Throughout while I was watching it I was smiling, it felt so heartwarming. One of the best art films ever made ..it's truly art. It's such a quiet and atmospheric film and yet so thought provoking and soul stirring.

But after some days I realised that the ending was what made it so special and gave it that last effect. The film although is simple but still impactful🖤💛💜Faye Wong is just exceptionally good and makes it seem like she was made for the role and or it was written for her🤩tailor made for her. So cute and weird and whimsical. Glad this film did not release in this time as she wud have instantly been labelled as a "manic pixie dream girl" and I would have hated that as I wud have hated her being given a label since she's so precious. Her childish innocence and impish gestures are so endearing😍She's just so genuinely cute that it's hard not to fall for her. As Quentin Tarantino perfectly said "he doesn't know anyone who didn't come out of the film having a crush on her(Faye)". In one word the film is just beautiful. The cinematography is award worthy! So masterful! This is the first film of Wong Kar Wai that I watched and it's such a beautiful and artistic portrayal of the human condition..lonliness , love and loss. I read in reviews that Hong Kong which occupies such a great role in the film was just as shown, bustling yet people are lonely and a certain sense of not knowing and uncertainity pervaded. Tony Leung has such killer eyes that can melt any heart🧡😍 The love story was so heartfelt right from the sexual tension between the leads at the cafe from the first meeting . The unspokenness between them said so many words. But the only thing that I found unsettling after reflecting on the film days later was how shrewd Faye was...it just felt so vicious of her to delete the cop's girlfriend's message which I can still understand but I just had a thought what if the gender roles were reversed...what if a guy had obsessively been sneaking in a girl's apartment😅..it wouldn't be all that cute then..wud it be? It wud be rather creepy I guess😁Anyhow a beautiful film both style and substance wise. Really poignant and visceral..a film more to be felt than analysed or understood. Sorry for the long comment but this film is very hard to desrcibe into words. A mesmersing beautiful and almost soul soothing hypnotic experience. Also I just did not get sick of the constant california dreamin played in it😅😂which is amusing. Such a quite and fascinating flick🖤
@@amisha25211 OMG I have never come across another Indian who understands cinema so well!
@@TheApolloZ Aww thanks alot🤗! I loved this film and had to express!:)
@@amisha25211 Damn! I should’ve used your paragraph to convince my missus to watch “Chungking Express”. you ticked off all the boxes with what I said 👏 👌
@@andylausupremacy6478 hahha aww thanks for the lovely complement😍💜💜
This woman has such grace. I can't even explain it. She's so delicate and sensual in a very simple way.
listen to her songs they are even better
Then you probably have no idea how she is a legend in China's pop industry for 2 decades and now she still preserves that grace
she is a living legend in China in the past and still now 😂
@@yingjieli1057 i don't see how that relates to what I said? I simply expressed what I think about her, I never said she was unknown?
@@biancab2399 trying to add on something here and we both appreciate how beautiful she is. Don’t take it as criticising or anything
I've never been in love but movies like these induce some unexplainable feeling in me.Some feeling that makes the air get trapped in my chest .That sensation then makes everything seem so vivid.
bro where can i watch the movie it is not in telegram
Watch other films by wong kar wai. They’re amazing.
@@biyuwu8894 I know ❤️
thats wong kar wai for you
she is the most beautiful and natural actress I have ever seen.
listen to her songs they’re even better
she has the Tuesday Weld vibe
i really like the vibe of the 90s, things weren't as modern back then and can be a bit messy but seems more realistic compared to now where most stuff are artificial
Superficial also
I love that you can see dirt in old movies
Saying they weren't as modern is just stupid. They were modern back then......
The 90's was shit. The only thing that was good was the movies. Everything else was boring.
no
Whenever u hear the name Chungking express, this song for sure is gonna sing in your mind 100%
i cry to this in random places
I love the androgynous look here. It brings out her femininity even more ironically. She's such an angel looking person.
Gross and yuck
She sings like an angel too. In case you didn't know she's a legend in the Cantopop music industry. Several of her most famous songs have that angelic, ethereal feeling.
She looks cute, but if you live in China, you will know that "Angel looking" are different here.

i am A looser in love but Only this movie makes me feel that there still have A chance for me to fall in love again ...i hope oneday i will love again.
Go for it. Things can happen even if you think they won't.
Try the song "someday by Michael learns to rock"
I relate to this.
But why?
Same here...losers 😜🥰🥴
Fun fact: Faye Wong commenting on herself winning the Best Actress for this movie at Stockholm Film Festival 1994: "That's so strange."
Deserved though (he says having no knowledge of any other nominees)
Saw the movie today ... I must say it was a amazing experience ❤
It's impossible to not fall in love with Faye Wong after watching Chungking Express. ❤️
bro where can i watch this movie?
@@sajinsathya8604it's available on torrent.
The way he looks at her at the end.
I wonder if I'll ever experience something like that.
Finally watched this last night; blown away. What a great flick. So good it made me actually like this song again. It's been done to death, especially in movies, but this made me fall in love with it all over again. Faye is captivating.
Where did you watch it?
I saw a poster of ChungKin Express in a small shop with 80s to 90s theme in Malaysia and googled about it and I believe the algorithm brought me here.
Hey, if you don't mind sharing, which part of Malaysia and what shop is it? Thanks :) Would love to check it out
@@caihui9642 Hi. It's in Terengganu. It's called Plot Cafe.
A rare movie hitting all the right notes. Faye Wong blends an incredibly intuitive, un self conscious presence with a subtle innocence in this role. A wizard at work.
Cop 223:
"That was the closest just 0.01 cm between us And I knew nothing about her. Six hours later, she fell in love with another man"
Vay be.
Isn't he no.663? Because as I remember no.233 fell in love after fifty seven hours later.
I thought she was the blonde woman without the wig, and felt so bad for the first cop
@@sahilbhaila772 me too!! I like him with the first guy, takeshi. However cop 663 wouldnt exist hahaahha
@@crestfallenme yes cop 663
I stayed in Chunking Mansions in the mid 80s. I was warned not to stay there. I found it perfectly safe and an urban environment I had never seen the likes of. The interior reminded my of scenes in Blade Runner I had seen just a couple years before. Looking back, one of my travel highlights.
Apparently the film was unable to shoot at the mansion because of legal reasons showing drug deals happening there. So they shot at a similar building near by. There's a sign that says Chunking House which isn't a real place.
@@JDazell 😹
Great tribute! Faye Wong is one of the most beautiful girls i've ever seen!
call me a liar but I never fall in love of anyone at first sight but her...
@@mariochen2470 lmao, you are so cruel. But She reminds me of the song "She" by Groove Coverage.
There is something about girls with dark short hair and brown eyes
this movie gave me the experience that i'll never forget

morbentfel Funny thing is Ashes of Time is the only film of his I haven't seen.
+sexuallyactivestevebuscemi I like Fallen Angels the most.
+sexuallyactivestevebuscemi It's the only WKW film that I like at all.
ok i want to marry this girl in california or wherever she wants

She has 3 husbands and 3 children

@@user-qs8te3yx7f 😑 don't know where you get this info, she divorced twice and has two girls
Kar wai and Christopher Doyle where on top of catching a mood and style. More precisely, they have created a mood and style. The vibe was so ahead of time, it whirles in the air even nowdays. One of film critics told me, he does not like Kar Wai's ''sweetness''. I guess, his reference was ''My Blueberry nights''. I am also not fan of it. Actually, Kar Wai's older period was what brought whole new scale to aesthetics of the media.
I miss you hong kong
I'm afraid I'll never be able to experience love
Of course you can, everyone deserves love lol, great memories
I am in love with Faye Wong. How could you not fall for her quirky charm?
Impossible to watch this movie and not fall in love with her
probably the most adorable movie character I've ever seen
so glad I own this movie and can watch any time I like! never gets old, only better ever time I watch it.

Can't believe that she is 51 now , wish i was born early.
this video was what made me watch the movie and then fall in love with wong kar wai's works and, consequently, films in general. so grateful for this lol
I'm happy to hear that! For me it was a UA-cam video of the ending song for his movie Fallen Angels. That led to watching all of his movies and eventually making this video.
@@vistavizion aaaa fallen angels isn't available anywhere in my country, it makes so sad, I'm sure I'd absolutely love it
@@diellelaura Just pirate it. Sadly the only worldwide release is a worse remaster.
If memories ever come in a can, I hope they can never expires. If it has to have a shelf life, I hope it's 10,000 years. ❤️
Now I'm cleaning house and dance like Faye does
me too, and i'm a man
nice
Me too !!
@@mariainesbayona6803 😍❤️
The best everrrr i love the movie i love the song i love the actress i love the director i love i love i love... alllllllllll
I also ❤️ eveything about this movie, including Tony Leung, one of the best asian actors ever !...
It seems that you are in the mood for love :D
You can't not fall in love with her after watching this film.
don't know how much I love this movie and the song. wong kar wai always the best.
Selamlar from Kazakhstan.
the second that i saw her picture in the thumbnail i decided to watch this movie .
she is so beautiful,i watched this movie just to see more of her .
Same
"Faye is a bad character cause she's a Manic Pixie dream girl". Many would say that but i don't think so. It's just the way all the characters in this movie are. They're somewhat all manic pixie dream in each other's lives either man or women. because that's what the movie is about. People in Chungking was melancholy, their interaction wasn't enough for them to create bonding as human. So they barely see each other as comprehensive people but just parts and pieces of colours, characters and personalities. We don't know much about them as characters just like they don't know much about each other as human. Lives collide lives and their loneliness is eased for a moment when they have each other.
Asian movie at the '80 - '90 are really, charming at their own way
I'm obsessed with this song for some reason, its probably the vibes it gives off
me 2
i think the director heard this song and a concept came into his mind and then made this erotic film
She is kind of a magic pixie girl, but Wong Kar Wai makes it so beautiful. Plus, all the acting is quite intentional, not just playing cute.
When I’m sad I come here when I’m happy I come here when I’m upset I come here.. truly magical
Faye Wong is such a beautiful creature !
Wong Kar Wai, Faye Wong, and this song, a match made in some upper level of heaven that I never knew existed. I remember watching this movie for the first time last summer and instantly become hopelessly obsessed 😭
This movie is a masterpiece. Love Hong Kong so much and this video makes my heart throb. Whenever I miss Hong Kong, I torture myself by watching Chungking express. Love/hate relationship. Love the movie and the way it depicts loneliness. Hate how it makes me feel like a long lost love bittersweet
Ohh how much I love this movie!!! My all time favourite !
She presents an attitude towards life. Never mind whatever is coming
I saw this movie and in the mood for love all locked down in my home january 1st. Best decision ever.
+ dünya sinema tarihinde bundan daha güzel bir film var mıdır?
- yoktur ağam.
Bu filmi şuanda hong konga gitmeden 72 saat önce izledim ve tek kelime ile muhteşem.
Probably the greatest star to come out of Beijing.
내 인생영화.
이 영화를 처음 봤던 연도도 기억나.
97년도 초등학생 때 일하러 간 엄마 기다리면서 본
밤에 봤던 주말의 명화에서
양조위가 여자친구랑 비행기 장난감으로 투닥거리며
러브신을 찍었던 장면이 내 뇌리에 박혀있음.
그 후로 서른 셋이 된 지금까지 꺼내보고 있음.
this movie makes me cry all the time
Fantastic film in my memory
so beautifull
after so many years, i still feel the throbbing in my heart when the music starts... such a magical film and Wong kar wai, the master who replicates a specific moment in time using colors, sound, imagery and scents
Ugh the way he looks at her at the end. My heart 💔
I'll never forget this film...
The day I find a girl who feels this movie as I do ,would be the day I find my soulmate
1:19. Love that face so bad
Im so in love with her, the whole movie I was in awe
"เราเฉียดกันไป 0.01 เซ็นติเมตร ผมไม่รู้ว่าเธอเป็นใคร แต่อีก 6 ชั่วโมงหลังจากนั้น เธอก็หลงรักชายคนอื่น "
one of the best movie ever

I haven't watch the movie yet, just gone through the clips.. Director Wong Kar Wai's applied many aesthetic senses in the movie, and even the sound tracks. I think this movie makes people know more about Hong Kong, the beauty of the city. He makes Hong Kong looks a like another phenomenon - the streets and people. I think the locals could agree that.
La inmortal canción de mi generación: "California Dreaming", grabada en 1965 por la banda "The mama's and the papa's", fue escrita en 1963 por Michelle Phillips inspirada en su nostalgia por California, mientras vivía en NYC.
Es la canción más representativa de los años '60. En este vídeo, la canción eterna es, toda ella, la Banda Sonora de la película de culto de nuestro cineasta chino Won Kar Wai: "Chungking Express", con la actuación de la también cantante Faye Wong y el 'James Dean' del Asia, mi venerado actor Tony Leung.
Imposible olvidar la maravillosa segunda parte de este film, compuesto de 2 historias, de 2 policías fracasados, que llevan a cuestas 2 derrotados amores. ¡Cómo emociona!, hasta saltar del asiento del cine y ponerse de pie para aplaudirlos, cuando inicia esta bella canción como prólogo al lento caminar del desolado policía (Tony Leung, el 'Marlon Brando' de la China) hacia el mostrador de comida callejera donde se encontrará, para siempre, con Ella (Faye Wong), ¡quien justo ese instante! pone su obsesivo CD con la canción de toda nostalgia: CALIFORNIA DREAMING.
such a wonderful moviee
I keep coming back to this video, I literally can't stop listening/watching
이 노래를 내 머리 속에 각인시켜준 영화! 영화라곤 쥐꼬리만큼도 관심없던 내가 이 영화는 무슨 생각으로 끝까지 졸지도 않고 봤는지 참 묘한 매력의 영화......
One of the besr movie I ever watched
this scene never gonna die
I love this song and movie. It makes me so happy and sad at the same time.
I don't know about others, but whenever I see this film, among other iconic 90s' Hong Kong movies, I somehow get into this melancholy, or mood of something decadent and nostalgic. It's kind of shame that this romantic city has been shedding its most enchanting traits over the years, especially since the return to You-Know-What. Long story short, I really miss good old days in Hong Kong and I am sad by the fact that those days might not come back for long time. p.s. She looks really lovely in this snip of the film and her acting is ineffably hypnotic.
she is gorgeous
Vulnerable and careless at same time..beautifully captured by the character
언제고 나를 환상속으로 데려가는 노래.
I have to watch this movie after I watch ANY romantic film/drama. This was my coming of age film. My first love :P
This is the most classic cult Hong Kong movie ever made. This movie was the best movie ever made by Director Wong Ka-Wai. No Asian directors came close to it.
Amazing movie. What love story are meant to do to you. It makes you vulnerable and humbled.
i want to watch this movie i searched and couldnt find where can i watch ot
I just love this movie so much
Oh yes selen , great memories
Addicted to this movie ❤️
The sound mixing in this is incredible.
Faye Wong is outstanding
she is so beautiful
Lady is gorgeous!
A mesmerizing masterpiece. Timeless.
This has been my song from the moment I heard it in this movie. Something about it, just makes me hope when none can be conjured. Although I always heard it as Wednesday, like the bump in the week when everything is bleak but life is still going on, for the promise of tomorrow
I LOVED THIS SONG A LOT !!!!
WHEN I WORKED AT MART IN LA U.S.A
I HEARD THE SONG EVERYDAY EVERY MORNING.....
SOME ONE TOLD ME ARE YOU CRAZY ? ^^
You must have had a different feeling listening to this song while being in LA. ✨
1:26 She is from heaven :3
Beautiful film
She is so pretty❤.
one of my favorite pieces of art in the world, give me gosebumps, I cant explain how
