Among these excellent works directed by Wong Kar-wai, the movie line that impressed me the most is undoubtedly "When you were young, you thought everything had an answer, but when you are old, you may feel that there is no such thing as an answer in life." This line, which sounds a bit nonsense, I think it is probably the greatest personal understanding of director Wong Kar-wai about life and life.
All stories have cause and effect, all stories have regrets, but all stories are not right or wrong. Everyone is independent, they are intertwined and have stories. It's a pity that they may not be together in the end, but there is no way. This literary and melancholy emotion is very common in Wong Kar-wai's films and plays, and it can even be said that it is a core emotional thread that runs through all his works.
In the forest of Chongqing, two love stories come and go inexplicably, and there is no answer to all this. In Ashes of Time, everyone's tragedy seems to have a cause and effect and a solution, but water under the bridge. In The True Story of Teddy Boy, people seem to finally see the answer, but they just let go and let life go on. This line represents Wong Kar-wai's voice and has become my favorite line.
