Movie Reviews of 2046
Movie Review: Political message
Summary: 4 Stars
"In the mood for love" is marked by uncertainty,characteristic of pre-turnover political climate in Hong Kong.On the other hand,2046,the date until which Hong Kong's way of life is supposed to remain unchanged, has a somewhat subtle moral that everything,including love, cannot be delved in the past and we should move on and not lose sight of the present. Colonial past is past. The future is what people make of it is another level of the meaning of this movie.
T S Eliot said one returns to his/her starting point with greater understanding.In this movie,one goes to 2046 to regain lost memories and,in my opinion, a better understanding of oneself.
Summary of 2046
The continued story of Chow Mo-Wan, who uses his experiences at a Hong Kong hotel in the 1960s to write a futuristic tale about the mysterious woman who stayed next door to him in room 2046.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 1-MAY-2007
Media Type: DVD
In Wong Kar Wai's quasi-sequel to In the Mood for Love, 2046 is a hotel room, a futuristic story, and a state of mind. Tony Leung returns as Chow, but perhaps not the same Chow who appeared in the first film. Starting three years later in 1966, we see Chow on various Christmases as he lives, loves, and writes in a hotel and nearby restaurants. Although he is less sensitive and more of a ladies man now, Chow's love life always seems to exceed his grasp. Whether the character is the same (the director calls this an "echo" of the first movie) might be trivial. Hong Kong filmmaker Wai is such a visualist (Time magazine tabbed him as the "world's most romantic filmmaker"), the images wash over with swirling smoke, neon lights, and the faces of his outstanding cast, all lovingly photographed and smoothly scored. There's a lot more going on than the visuals, and Wai's fans will certainly find more and more details on repeated viewings. We travel into Chow's futuristic story, where the acquaintances become fictional characters traveling to a place where "everyone goes" to recapture lost memories. Often Chow talks about never seeing a lover ever again, but eventually bumps into her. The final result is a film some will cherish; others will long for the more traditional storyline of the first film. Wai certainly finds a new direction for actress Ziyi Zhang (House of Flying Daggers) as a prostitute who becomes one of Chow's many lovers. And Leung continues to be one of the world's great film actors, with a face and acting style the camera just loves. --Doug Thomas
