No matter how terribly grounded you are, there is always Wong Kar Wai to take you flying away. He always succeeds at marrying realistic human drama with otherworldly beauty and atmosphere. The content is often raw, whereas the form is always stunningly beautiful.
He is also a ...( read more)
Garishly beautiful but frustratingly same-y WKW chamber piece. Happy Together has hardly a whisper of plot and I found myself drifting. Felt like a two hour Suntory ad.
Music and waterfall sequence were cool.
I just can't believe my eyes: this is such a beautiful film in the best asian-magnifique style. Kar-Wai and Yimou usually create breath-taking masterpieces that will look OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD in a big plasma TV but Kar-Wai, not as Yimou, creates heartbreaking, raw, cruel tales of hu...( read more)
There's no doubt in my mind that Wong kar-wei is a master filmmaker. Happy Together is the best example of that I can think of. This is a beautiful love story in every single way possible. Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu Wai are nothing short of remarkable. Forget the idiots wh...( read more)
Yes, I have an obsession for Wong Kar Wai, I'll admit it. I have to say that no director has ever created films that have touched me in the manner and on as many levels as Wong's films do. Wong Kar Wai's films are the reason for which I have fallen head over heels in love with ar...( read more)
The greatest film dealing with gay lovers. Universal, heartbreaking and funny. Instead of relying heavily on plot, Kar-wai gives us a series of simple, honest, and painful moments that ring true and create a mosaic of what it's like getting over a destructive relationship. What'...( read more)
did not disappoint, then again, no film of wong kar wai disappoints, has his signature mood and feel, watch this for tony leung, his presence in this is magnetic
Precise, easy, hilarious & entertaining. Stylish photography by Christopher Doyle again. Tony Leung was undoubtedly brilliant with his stretching character. The late Leslie Cheung & Chen Chang were also good but not as sparkling as Leung due to characters' limitations.
After have watched "Chungking Express" and "2046", I could understand the disappointment of Kar Wai Wong´s fans with "My Blueberry Nights". It´s nice and I enjoyed it myself, but now, having watched "Hapy Together", I can ask it too: what happened? Maybe it was the west wind, who...( read more)
I could not stand the two main characters and their arguing and their feuds and stuff. I was not a fan of this film. I am a gay male and I have been openly gay since the third grade, so it doesn't have to do with personal opinions or beliefs or anything. I've liked pretty much al...( read more)
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Happy Together" !
