I remembered watching this film for the first time. I din't know who she was and at first I didn't like her look either. By the end of the movie, she has became absolutely adorable.
It was funny how everybody read the letter and nobody wanted to give him the bad news and also they decided to let Faye to deliver it, also giving a chance and hoping that they couple together.
@@RatatRatR yes! It showed how hard for him to accept it and the sound of a departing plane deepened his feeling. Meanwhile, I like how she stared at him, looks like she felt sorrow for him but also means she had a chance This formed a beautiful picture.
Manuel Delgado it’s about mentality, this movie is a homage to the middle class lifestyle, if you’re a vapid, tasteless and uncultured bastard no amount money is ever gonna make life exciting for you but if you have even a drop of personality and taste then you can make even the monotonous and mundane everyday tasks like listening to loud music and introspecting valuable. Life isn’t exactly like this for most but it could be if conceit, materialism and gaudiness are taken out of the equation.
I really miss the old Hong Kong. Thanks Wong Ka Wai for capturing the best Hong Kong. Faye's acting is incredible. I can't believe she's a singer. She is my favorite singer in Hong Kong.
This movie would not work if it was shot today. The flight attendant would have just broken up with him by text. Love the whole vibe and a time when we didn't all have phones 24/7.
Same thing with the pager/phone booth and password with "love you for 10,000 years". I mean, it could still be done, but they would probably have to do away with that, or find a way to incorporate it differently. Or if they made it today, just set it in the time period as a period piece.
You realize Wong Kar Wai is still making movies to this day right? As well as countless other great filmmakers who make meaningful movies? Shut the fuck up.
If you love Faye in this movie, please listen to "Miss you night and day" by Faye Wong. This sing was released on 1992 and her voice is so good during her prime.
I’m glad I did this. I grew up with American version of this song by a group called The Deele which was headed by music artist Babyface. In particular, the live version remix of the song is the one Ms. Wong beautifully recreates.
This film captures the beautiful, anxious, nervous feelings, literally, all mixed feelings of Hong Kong , which was going to returned to China soon. HK is not , and will not be the same again. Pity.
My Love you hope wish and pray a Woman would take this much interest in you or any gender for that matter she is obsessed dedicated and fixated yet she has a subtle beauty that is organic as well as rebellious for some reason; her actions and personality is what makes her so cool because we know alot of women ain't going through the trouble of all that she did in this movie unless their is money material and status along with exact preferences met!
In the version on Max, Faye Wong's "Dreams" begins playing as he drinks the coffee. Is that not how it's supposed to be edited? I loved that needle drop
I watched this on Mubi and they put on a Cranberries song in the undercrank scene in this. Didn't have the same gravity as this. edit: i was wrong, I think it was a Faye Wong cover
I don't know if she wrote it on a boarding pass but she is a stewardess and the waitress herself becomes a stewardess towards the end of the film. The entire film has a theme of getting away, of flying and travel. Even the music "California Dreamin'" is about the the waitress' desire to leave and see new places.
I found it interesting that all people in the film speaks Cantonese but the letter is in English? Is it intensional? so that the international audience can still read what's in the letter?
No not really. Hong Kong was a British colony before 1997. English is sorta like an official language over there. Lots of Hong Kongese not only speak Cantonese but also English. The funny thing is that people speaking English has always been treated a higher class of people. The cops in hk usually doesn't need a lot of education. So here comes the nuance, writing the letter in English sorta made sense in a way that the flight attendant was mocking the cop and didn't think him of like good bf material. It's sorta condescending. I would say the director exactly captured a lot of Hong Kongese female's mentalities towards it's local culture and the western culture.
Note that the boarding pass itself is in English. It's also the normal mode of communication for a flight attendant. I don't see the implication of hierarchy between a flight attendant and a cop. In fact, I'd say police is more revered, it's definitely harder to get in. And they are required to have adequate English too. It's the royal police who still salute at the queen at the time, afterall.

It's literally impossible not to fall in love with Faye Wong after watching this film.
absolutely
Have you watched 2046? It's next level of Faye Wong :D
@@chinglau6766 Yes I did, but I think she is really something else here, in 2046 she is overshadowed by Zhang Ziyi imho
I remembered watching this film for the first time. I din't know who she was and at first I didn't like her look either. By the end of the movie, she has became absolutely adorable.

It was funny how everybody read the letter and nobody wanted to give him the bad news and also they decided to let Faye to deliver it, also giving a chance and hoping that they couple together.
I was literally seeking for this comment to explain it to me..
Right
Those three guys were going, "oh shit!"
Really bad news and they feel bad for Tony.
So lovely
❤@@aarondanaher9426
Insanely beautiful shot while he drinks his coffee.
That's called a step printing effect. Basically tge frames are multiplied.
I mean, that's well and good, but to me it's less about the technique and more about how it's used to such remarkable emotional resonance.
@@RatatRatR yes! It showed how hard for him to accept it and the sound of a departing plane deepened his feeling. Meanwhile, I like how she stared at him, looks like she felt sorrow for him but also means she had a chance This formed a beautiful picture.
@@RatatRatR yea just chill and feel the vibe
i can drink coffee better than this actor.
It's impressive how there are times when Faye doesn't even have to talk to show how beautiful and wonderful she played her role in the film.
if only life was this beautiful
Life is this beautiful if you take good care every single piece it ever gives.
Life is better
ハージョーMiharu life is beautiful my love

@Manuel Delgado You must be fun at parties.
Oh wait, are you invited to those?!!
The way the guys react to the letter was hilarious.. absolutely nailed it. “Awww shit man!”.. “goddamn”
What's funny is that Faye becomes a flight attendant in the end, and the Cop runs the restaurant
What is wrong with you? I was hoping to eventually find that out myself watching all of these shorts clips.
@@WiseTomCat just watch it online 🤣
I thought she just stole the guy’s ex outfit
@@myttypeI'm pretty sure she did lol
where?@@rickrickrice
I really miss the old Hong Kong. Thanks Wong Ka Wai for capturing the best Hong Kong.
Faye's acting is incredible. I can't believe she's a singer. She is my favorite singer in Hong Kong.
2:34 Homegirl has a whole store full of wingmen
wounded by a pin. This movie is pure bliss
This movie is incredible, i repeated it twice in a day. The overarching message is : CHANGE and Change is as good as a rest.
This movie would not work if it was shot today. The flight attendant would have just broken up with him by text. Love the whole vibe and a time when we didn't all have phones 24/7.

It just occurred to be the staff left the store because they didn’t want to see his reaction to the letter
They are trying to be the girls wingman as far as I can tell.
People have forgotten how to make such meaningful movies!
People have forgotten the way to drink coffe lol
There are a lot of meaningful movies out there that are obv overlooked and underrated, you just have to dig deeper
You realize Wong Kar Wai is still making movies to this day right? As well as countless other great filmmakers who make meaningful movies? Shut the fuck up.
@@user-zj1st8tp4n can you recommend some please?
They need to start adding cocaine to the budget again!
Wong Kar Wai movies are just magical. Cinema at it's best ❤️
Something about his films always manages to catch me off guard on a spiritual level, i love it.
I love this string of scenes! Beautiful film.
God damn what a scene among many. It makes you feel so alive.
It‘s a gorgeous film I’m in love with it
WkW's ultimate tribute to the manic pixie girl trope.
the background song California Dreaming all over the movie made the film more touching
Every Young is beautiful, unconditionally.
It was shot in real-time. He was just drinking it very slowly.
If you love Faye in this movie, please listen to "Miss you night and day" by Faye Wong. This sing was released on 1992 and her voice is so good during her prime.
OMG this is my fav faye song. The best album from her honestly. Very good taste my good sir :D
I’m glad I did this. I grew up with American version of this song by a group called The Deele which was headed by music artist Babyface. In particular, the live version remix of the song is the one Ms. Wong beautifully recreates.
@@Robertoni7 Oh I love The Deele 😁, Babyface has the most unique voice among the other members in the band.
Her good voice kind of overshadowed her talents. In my humble opinion, songs written by herself are her real best.
@@ethanium9280 try her song "the cambrian age". Faye's talent is astonishing.
A masterstroke of casting Faye Wong in this film!
and in 2046 with Tony again
Hurt by a pin
Brilliant line.
3:41 I am laughing this is so great
WKW genius to get Faye Wong into the movies. She's genius by just being herself. WOW!!
This film captures the beautiful, anxious, nervous feelings, literally, all mixed feelings of Hong Kong , which was going to returned to China soon. HK is not , and will not be the same again. Pity.
Wait say more
It has always been part of China
@@60secondfairytales agreed, this is too cool of a viewpoint not to elaborate on
When music turn off, its become sad and awkward
1:39 when you never like your bro gf & know they break up
Wonderful Cantonese! Like music to the ears!
What a beautiful movie….. wow
Kocham ten film
such a great film
Coming back to this after watching Shang-Chi
If 4:57 had been a painting it would have conveyed the emotions just as well. Most beautiful shot ever
Love this movie!
Fell for Faye so hard in this film man…
4:50 I'm don't know why step printing effect was the best for me
Still watching this scene!
Ngl this movie was fire 🔥
@0:13 - someone said "they are filming"
Akash Akks Someone said “Hey, they’re filming” in Cantonese, very faintly in the background
makes sense, it looks like some people were watching?
old comment i know but watch the market scene lol
all the people staring at the camera
I so love Faye
i remember watching this full movie on youtube before but it’s gone :(
Same 😔
good old days
Wounded by a pin! Damn ..
天才演员
best moment
Faye is awesome
I saw you commenting on quite a lot of Faye's videos. Nice to meet you fellow Fayenatic!
Back when Wenwu was just a cop

4:50 he was drinking real slow, look how fast those people moving around, watch at 0.25x speed
Beauty
好懷念似前警察制服，好型！現在成個公安咁😪
因為宜家嗰d係公安
冬天又係敢嘅色，至核突係鴨嘴帽就真
Charming people
5:56 the smirk was a priceless shot. I wonder whether it was planned.
I adore Faye Wong too but let’s not forget Valerie Chow!

Yup that’s the Faye wong from that masterpiece song for FF8!

梁朝伟演了好多电影 昨天刚看了一个和杨千嬅的
Could you pls help me with the name of the actress and cop in this scene of the movie?
faye wong & Tony leong
Tony Leung. 梁朝偉
The movie is Chungking Express.
Actress in Tee: Faye Wong, Actor Cop: Tony Leung. Movie name: Chungking Express, Year1994, a Hong Kong movie
I watched this on Mubi and they put on a Cranberries song in the undercrank scene in this. Didn't have the same gravity as this.
edit: i was wrong, I think it was a Faye Wong cover
梁朝伟的颜值巅峰，帅爆
Can someone tell me whether she wrote the break up note on a boarding pass? Like is there any significance of the boarding pass
I don't know if she wrote it on a boarding pass but she is a stewardess and the waitress herself becomes a stewardess towards the end of the film. The entire film has a theme of getting away, of flying and travel. Even the music "California Dreamin'" is about the the waitress' desire to leave and see new places.
Yes and yes.
Stockholm Film Festival 1994 ... Best actress .... Faye Wong...

5:02 do-you think this is when they fell in love?
I fell in love with her years before haha
@@PhukIT1865 me too
What's the name of the song she was playing?
California dreaming
What did the letter say?
What was the meaning of the letter? She broke up or did she stay in his town?
She broke up.
can someone tell me what movie is this
chungking express
Shang Chi
I found it interesting that all people in the film speaks Cantonese but the letter is in English? Is it intensional? so that the international audience can still read what's in the letter?

@@judening2614the extent of the details in this film is just unbelievably incredible...
In the end faye drew another boarding pass to him also in English
Note that the boarding pass itself is in English. It's also the normal mode of communication for a flight attendant. I don't see the implication of hierarchy between a flight attendant and a cop.

*HK can write in Chinese and English*
Shang-Chi👋👋👋
It's amazing Valerie Chow, one of the top HK models in the 90s, looks pretty mid next to Faye who was essentially playing a plain Jane role.
