Happy Together

I am an emotional wreck. The longing and passion between the protagonists is breath taking… Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung had me glued to the screen, their performances are so vulnerable and they had so much chemistry. I always love the narrations in Wong films but in this one, because the characters were so reluctant to open up to one another, they hit me twice as hard. Of course they didn’t get a happy ending, but I swear I was holding out hope till the last second.

I found it hard to empathize with the characters in order to understand why they continue to deal with such a toxic relationship with each other. I would have liked to know more about them, more about their personal journey since, at the end of the day, they are only shown surviving and struggling, showing the present routine, without going into any detail. It's nice photography and narrative form.

The original title of the film is Chun gwong cha sit or Cheun Gwong Tsa Sit.

what a bittersweet movie im sad now
