Masterpiece of 90’s cinema. Airs of Wong Kar-wai and Scorsese, but with youthful abandon turned up to 11. Beautiful

in a Wong Kar Wai rabbit hole and loving how scrappy his early films are! they’re almost all handheld, most scenes are with just 1 or 2 actors, beautiful colors, zippy and strangely uplifting, and really captured Hong Kong in the 90s in a way that almost feels like a documentary. It’s also inspiring to see early works of prolific directors to see how good (and sometimes better) they could be in their younger years when they were working on shoestring budgets.

After watching Fallen Angels (another film made by the same director) my film teacher showed me the first 20 minutes of Chungking Express. When I start a movie I have to finish it, especially if it is on one of my streaming services. I love this film from the experimental editing, music selection, the characters, and the cool vibe that Wong Kar-wai brings into his films. I cannot stress how awesome the music and visuals are in this film. Hearing atmospheric trumpets while the rain is pouring with this vibrant blue hue is just so awesome.

Vonnegut does so many things beautifully. What I love best is when he makes you cry right after making you laugh. But sometimes he makes you laugh right after making you cry.
