Life is so tough and bitter, that some people can't love it, but it seems that when we find the same kind, we have the ability to heal and have the courage needed to live.

The dead are also alive, and the living are also dead, and death is nothing but a phantom in the mirror of life.

His millennium blow of a movie further marks his complete transformation in theme and style. The local memories and the history of the family and country in the early and middle stages have been split into the modern metropolis.
The camera moves are all so addictive, you can't see by listening, and can't hear by guessing. It was the first…

On Your Wedding Day 2018
Honest feelings and bad timing make the most painful combination. Already Wong Kar-Wai told us "Love is a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late."
