2046



2046 is about Mr. Chow, a story he wrote and his experiences he gained from it. Its pretty complicated.

The movie was interesting, even cinematically. It had some interesting shots. Like there was one segment about Mr. Wang's daughter and she was saying things like "Good", "Sure" but they only showed her feet. Her foot movements made it seem as though she were dancing.

There was also this shot somewhere near the beginning of the story, it was rather blur but the movement sort of focused later on. The shot of the tear drop later on was also different.

What I noticed was that the story was narrated by the same guy, but at different points in time, there were mini stories about different people he met. And these were in chronological order.

Later on, there are some shots of clouds which I thought were really cool. But what is more interesting was the way Wong Kar Wai told the story. It sure went on a big detour but it was different. He began the movie at the front of Mr. Chow's story, then detoured to explain HOW the story came about, making a round back to the begining of the novel he wrote. 2047.

The story then jumps between Mr. Chow's real life and the story 2047, which I thought was done in a rather tasteful way since it showed what real life experiences influenced his novel.

Although the movie was rated NC16, my mom thinks I was watching X-rated movies.
