Tony was so happy in the end when he knew it was the end of the press conference.
Anson Kwok he is really an introvert lol
@Omari Nathaniel In the mood for hacking
yup, those reporters with the great questions
Lolz, I didn't notice until your comment. He's famous for being an introvert
@@SO-rq3pm I think there's a misconception here about introverts. I know many people who are introverts but have no problem with public speaking or being confident. Tony is more of a shy person and private, hence, he's not comfortable in front of crowds.
Tony Leung is so soft-spoken in English.
Just saw this after watching 'In the Mood for Love' like 5 times. So proud of these two native Hong Kong brilliant actor and actress. Particularly love Maggie Cheung. She epitomises a lovely gal from Hong Kong - an embodiment of the best of east and west, very cheerful, true to herself, optimistic, frank and candid.
I agree and this is my favourite movie of all time - brilliant actors both of them
I love Maggie even more after watching this. Tony too cuz who doesn't LOL
i was surprised she has an english, chinese, and french accent at the same time lol
In 2022, watching this, Maggie impressed me even more than earlier
@@lemonstrangler Maggie was raised in England.
GIVE TONY A PILLOW AND BLANKET! He’s so adorable here
I love seeing Maggie and Tony together, they really seem to be a good pair, it's a pity they can't be together in real life. love you both
Tony is literally me I love how awkward he is.😂😂😂
Tong seems the most excited during the whole press conference when the host says it was ending .
😂😂❤ I love this conference so much. I came for Tony, but I was surprised and loved Maggie. She is beautiful, elegant and full of energy. And Tony Cute 😂😂
Wow I am so impressed at how insightful and intelligent Maggie is. blown away by her!
24:54 while Tony was talking about Maggie, I see admiration and love
I hope this doesnt sound rude, but I'm so blown away by how good their command of English is, compared to other HK actors in their age bracket all... I'm even more in love with both of them than I was before! 😍😍😍
@@chengepaul I know, right?? I've loved Tony since I was a child.. And Maggie only so-so but after listening to this, I'm like "She's so hot! Because of her intellect and fiestiness - in English!" 🥰
I came in just to check out their English and I am blown away! Maggie speaks with a chic (colonial?) British accent! That is definitely not a Cantonese English accent. Wowzers. Where do we hear that anymore?
Maggie was raised in both Hong Kong and Britain which is probably why she has an British accent. As for Tony, since he grew up in British Hong Kong which was a British colony till 1997, safe to say he was exposed to a lot of English throughout his life, unlike in mainland China.
Maggie moved to England when she was 10, went to high school there. That is why she speaks fluent English. In Hk, English was the only official language till 70s. The HK government also set up the rule that every child must attend schools up to 14 years old, at least. Most may not speak fluently but have the basic English knowledge. When the HK movies started to participate in the International Film Festivals. The movie companies start to fund the actors to learn speaking English.
@@nephronpie8961 That's not it though. Plenty of the other people (probably 90%) of his generation speak with a very 'Hong Kong accent', which is very discernible and sometimes indecipherable.. the only ones who speak with a standard Brit accent are those who lived in the UK and studied there or who went to International schools maybe. For instance, the actress Jessica Hsuan went to Imperial College in the UK and speaks with a standard English accent that could even pass off as Singaporean, similar to Maggie.
So it's not about HK teaching folks English (I don't know why you would bring in China when we're talking about HK actors here? It's a useless comparison..). Everyone learns English in school, yes, but not all of them speak as well as them (Maggie, particularly). And that's a compliment..! 😊
Just brilliant personalities and balance between both , an introvert and an extrovert and no wonder Tony is the go to man for Wong Kar Wai. Maggie perspective is just wonderful , could hear her talk for days and also being a method actor in Wongs films can be very very taxing.
Wonderful interview felt like it was over too soon :D . Thank you.
September 29, 2023. 23 years of In The Mood For Love today.
"He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct."
Maggie Cheung IS a GREAT actor and so beautiful.
Maggie’s English is spoken so fluently! Love 😍
She studied in UK :)
@@FilmsExtras No wonder.
Tony Leung's English is rather good. He speaks it so naturally.
But isn't English widely spoken in HK?
@@itsjemmabondEnglish is taught in elementary school through college in HK. But the reason why Tony leung speaks well is that he went to English private school. (And Maggie grew up in England I believe). He doesn't represent the English level of most HKers.
i have always been a huge fan of hers so i expected her to be gorgeous as usual, but i am surprised how handsome he is quite naturally, even more handsome than in his films, ...he is so charming, that little smile of his. what an amazing couple, no wonder that their chemistry was so famous, hard to find a more charming couple...and they haven't aged a day..? i cannot believe it ... it is also fascinating how differently that they feel about wong kar wai s style
they have aged, don't worry.
they both look so gorgeous here....
I love the movie how they represented themselves and all the perfect and intense scenes of the movie Maggie and Tony are really the best and finest actors and movies of Wong Kar-wai like Days of being wild ,Mood for love, 2046 ,Chungking express I love all the movies of wong kar wai it always leaves a deep impact on you.
This film has brought me so much joy! I think about it often. Art!
me too - its an amazing movie
Lmao Tony dying to sleep
She's stunning. Beautiful and elegant at the same time.
In the Mood for Love changed my entire perspective of Maggie Cheung from just being Jackie Chan's girlfriend in the Police Story movies to stunning leading lady of cinema.
extra ordinary actors, loved them so much !
I love both of them so much…. and their English too. It’s so precious
Thanks for uploading this interview. This is definitely my no one favorite film and l love every bit of it. Great to hear my two super idols talking about the film too.
Maggie Cheung is still very beautiful .
Maggie is always the actress I love ❤️
Maggie Cheung is so damn beautiful !
Thank you for this featurette. "In The Mood For Love" is one of my favourite arthouse films of all time.
Maggie Cheung is divine here. But in the movie she is just a perfect incarnation of absloute beauty.
It is one of the best films I have ever seen ❤️
wow they're so eloquent in english
Maggie used to live in England when a child.
@@giapnguyendangthi1171 But her English wasn't as good when she returned to Hong Kong as a late teen. Obviously she's put some effort after being a star.
@@SO-rq3pm I mean it's one of the advantages of her, Maggie Cheung( Trương Mạn Ngọc in Vietnamese) always try to make an effort at everything she does. I'm surprised because I didn't realise earlier that she speaks English fluently.!
Dear oh dear!
maggie cheung is so good to listen to
Maggie looks looks like she came from the future with the hairstyle. I love it.
That look was popular in 1999-2000.. lol
Yo he visto la película y es preciosa y única, los actores son muy guapos los dos. Me gusta cómo tratan su historia de amor en los años que era tan complicados de entender por la sociedad.Maravillosa la película!!!
Es una obra maestra. Creo que es la mejor pelicula de romance que he visto en mi vida.
I watch Tony Leung my whole life speaking Canton, also learning Canton from his movie i cant believe he speaks English very fluently and cooly
such a beautiful press conference. ended it perfectly with "tensions".
This was a beautiful film and shot out to Hong Kong people that can speak English with ease.
Love the two actors 💜❤️🌌🌄😻So like English accent from Maggie.
Maggie went to school in Bromley (Kent) which is why her English accent is so good👍
@@rishiksen5378 She didn't speak like that when she was younger. Her English accent is, unsurprisingly, very Hong Kong (in a pleasing way).
This is a great find, I actually think Maggie looks lovelier here than in the film, which confuses me. I find these 2 very charming
Good thanks
some of these reporters are not at all listening to questions and answers, and just waiting to ask the same questions over that have already been basically posed and answered already, some behave as if possibly that they don't understand english well, and just have to pose a question and record their answer for their bosses. at one point, tony leung gives a sheepish smile, and passes the question to maggie, because it is the same question as has been answered before. he is too polite to call the reporter an idiot. i feel sorry for the actors, they are so gorgeous and have worked so hard already, that they have to answer so many questions on improvisation, when they did so much work inventing the film in improvisation, without script, and then to be grilled on it. haha.....suppressed, repressed, restrained... not suppressive... hard for actors to answer when the reporters use such downright wrong vocab
I have the same thoughts. I hate it that when she laughs and makes jokes, etc, etc, the whole room just stays silent, like if they were ignoring them :(
Tony is just so handsome and Maggie really a fine lady !!!
like this interview
classic film director and actors
お二人の花様年華が大好き💓♥️❤️です！
These jornos keep going in circles with these questions about "no script", even repeating the exact same question.
So many question could be asked, for example about working with a marvelous cinematographer.
Been watcin them on Cantonese movie all this time. Didn't know they speak good English. Both are talented film ⭐. Beautiful movie excelentte fotografia.
Since Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997, it's very common for Hong Kongers to be proficient (if not fluent) in English. According to the most recent poll I could find, 65% of the residents polled said they could speak, read, and write English, though the poll did not state to what degree of fluency.
Being proficient enough to carry a conversation means they probably speak English on a regular basis.
Maggie actually grew up in England, spending much of her teenage years in UK and still holding British citizenship up to this day. Tony attended English school when Hong Kong was still a British colony.
@@louiswong3140 Ah that's mystery solved for Tony. Maggie we know grew up overseas....
@@Mr_DPZ Their English is exceptionally good even compared to many educated people from Hong Kong (e.g. professors in universities). Maggie didn't speak in English as well as then when she just returned to Hong Kong from UK. Obviously both of them are very talented not only in acting but also languages.
maggie cheung's cerifiably one of the most gorgeous women in the world.
Love Maggie and Tony ❤️ Great Actor and actress. My favorite movie 💕
Best wang kar wai film ever!
24:49 Tony is very cute as he looks at Maggie with sweet eyes trying to get her to answer first
i would die for that Hou Xiao-Xian film /w Maggie and Tony =O
TONY RULE..HE MAKE GREAT MOVIES !!!
年轻真好
goddamn Maggie is so fucking cool
Chang man to 's face never older always young & beauty
Oh that alternate ending sounded beautiful. Maybe it's a stretch, just randomly running into each other at, of all places, Angkor Wat. Maybe that's why Kar Wai cut it. Anyway, who'll say that entrusting an ancient tree with your secret is not beautiful...
Deleted segments on a website? COME AGAIN?
i agree... tony leung
Maggie is the one with natural beauty
Tony Leung 😘
hey, do you maybe have a copy of @ In The Mood For Love documentary that came out on 2001? i can't seem to find a copy with english subtitles
Wow, never ever been disappointed when a Hong Kong speaks English
Shallow!
@@suzy5166 same for you sir :))
I wish he would have kept that ending in there.
赞两人的英语👍
Maggie 😍
lol he calls tony leungs character mr chow correctly but then calls maggie cheungs character mrs chow... its mrs chan!!! i made the same mixup like 20 times when i was writing a paper on it for a class lmfao
Tony's English has no Cantonese accent. How?
Tony Leung 很帅
Where is she now my favourite Chinese actress
양조위 목소리 진짜 죽고싶다.....♥️
You came here after ShangQi? Lol
The saddest part of their collaboration was Cheung's unrequited love of Leung in real life.
Wait, really? What's the source for this? 😢
@@joejellyfish Sorry, there's no English sources I know of. Only old Hong Kong tabloids, gossip magazines years ago. It's like an open secret for local Hongkongers.
Harry S. L. Kim seems to be a scratchy revanchist to spread such rumors
Omg really. It’s so sad to hear this cuz they’re my fav couple on set 😢
@@verongonnabeinACT Sad to mention Curd Jürgens and Orson Welles had no sequel. So full of future Hong Kong was, young Godzilla only 50 meters tall, watchin its cute Kowloon 1:1 model raylway layout from all possible angels, China all the way true to scale, just take a look: ua-cam.com/video/XvJWqowJ4LQ/v-deo.html
The beginning sounds like two prominent late 90s bands named Air and the other, Clinic

Maggie！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！1
I couldn’t stop looking at her stray hairs 😂
Jet Li remains silent with the strength if many men
The questions (from both the moderator and reporters in the audience) were pretty lame.
What questions would you have asked?
@@Lord_Heron I would love to ask questions of the director on this production, but not to Cheung/Leung.
25:15
"you're so lazy, do your work!"
Maggie 🤗😍
22:18
On set. By him. Cheeky girl. Lol
27:27 🤭😂
I wonder what's Tony's academic qualification...
Tony was in a private school, but quit it at age of 15. His single mother couldn't afford it while raising 2 kids. He even skipped grades in school but couldn't continue studying due to financial difficulty. His coworkers in 80s said he always carried books on set. When other people went to have a drink after shooting, he would sit at a corner and read books.
@@forestforyou Ah that's very enlightening! Thanks for sharing. I'm really surprised by his command of English. I've been watching his movies all my life but didn't know he could speak so well in another language. 💖 And I'm glad someone actually read my comment! 💞
It seems like this interview was Maggie’s interview. Leung seems like he couldn’t be bothered to answer. I have seen him in other interviews and he is quite eloquent but here don’t know, but is like he did not really wanted to be there.
He is an introvert. I guess he feels comfortable that Maggie could answer questions, so he didn't need to speak much.
For having had interviews myself, I can confirm that when someone else is speaking all through, you're quite happy haha
Gemma Chan reminds me of Maggie and Maggie kinda has an English accent
That's typical Hong Kong accent not 'English' accent. If you watch the BBC you'd obviously not regard hers as 'English' accent'
days of being wild was the best and speak on real emotion/topics. others are so sloppy and it shows. overrated like other directors that are "known for their style", they just keep repeating their 'style'. hard to tell also because the subtitles in the films are also bad. so english speaking viewers reading the subtitles get a romantic view of the films, but that is not present in the original language nor in the acting itself. seems to me people are just wowed by the colors and the foreignness of it, aka the "wong kar wai style".
it makes sense this whole film is just an iteration on that short japanese story they said he was inspired by. not much meat in in the mood for love or 2046. but sure it looks colorful and one of them has a good soundtrack. basically what i heard in the commentary of chungking express. ever since the success of that film, wkw just wanted to emulate it over and over again apparently. but that film, while great for being whimsical among other things, was successful through the soundtrack and faye wong. so these two other films of the trilogy are just repeats of that, without the magic of faye wong found in chungking express. she was in 2046 but had a lesser role and much less charm.
and while maggie cheung and tony leung are handsome and beautiful actors, they are not the best acting wise. maggie cheung is like jennifer connelly, they are stars off looks, with very poor acting chops. tony has a great face, but much similar. he's just the poster boy for wkw. like other directors that have their favorite actors that they always include because they give off a vibe off their look.
i actually find leslie cheung from days of being wild much more of a natural talent. he was awesome.. but if you read the english subtitles, the emotions do not come through, while every other line was also slightly wrong. in the mood for love and 2046 subtitles make it sound more 'sophisticated' than it actually was, while the original dialogue was very dry.
Guy pause at 2:23
I think it's year 2000?! they were young but no more especially Maggie now looks quite old
Maggie is my girlfriend.
The subtitle one car way.😂😂😂
So he just couldn’t pronounce anyone’s name correct 😢
10:57 梁朝偉看上去快要睡着了
34:56 to 35:56 😂😂😂
Beat practically all the random mainland movie “celebrities” who can’t even speak “ thank you” properly ….
English is not a mandatory class in China. Besides, today Chinese actors from China, like Fan Bing Bing, most of them came from small villages so they don’t speak English at all. They do so well in Mandarin speaking movies or tv shows, it gives them no motivation to learn English.
3Q :D
我被美颜暴击了
ITMFL is one of my favourite movies. Love love love Maggie Cheung and WKW. What a cringeworthy interview and what a joke of an interviewer. Maggie Cheung’s character is not Mrs. Chao!!!! Did he even watch the movie?!?!?!? And he works for TIFF no less?!?!?! Way to ruin T.O’s and TIFF’s reputation. Shame
This must be 20 years ago! Boring press interview!!
20 year ago youtube doesn't exist
