It's easy to fall in love with someone—it might just be a glance or a gesture, but forgetting someone takes a lifetime. Young and reckless, in our first love, we don’t understand love or cherish it. For a single word, we’d break up, and it had to be clean, without dragging it out.
A truly beautiful film. It feels like past events are flowing before my eyes, as if such things really happen every day. Tsui Hark cleverly weaves her personal feelings about love and life experiences into a Japanese-style triangle love story, creating a subtle resonance between the creator and the characters. At the same time, she breaks down the intertwined relationships between the male and female protagonists—Jin Chengwu, Maggie Cheung, and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai—into three stages: youth, middle age, and old age. She lightly adds a touch of homosexuality and deepens the story through discussions between the director and the screenwriter, a technique somewhat similar to Peter Ho’s Ruan Lingyu, but even more fluid and natural. It is the most successful Hong Kong love film since Sweet Home Alabama.
