Features: Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai is now a unique flag in the Hong Kong and even Asian film industry. This book takes his successful films "Ashes of Time," "Chungking Express," "Happy Together," "In the Mood for Love," and others as the main thread to deconstruct the unique perspective of Wong Kar-wai's films. He explores his views on life's drifting and searching, rejection and avoidance, showcasing his highly modern concept of time and space. 2046 is the future of the future, like a movie that hasn't even been scripted but is already clamoring to be filmed. No one knows what will happen, and no one knows if it's a distant time or a twisted point on a calendar, a vague line on a perpetual calendar, or just a half-coordinate on a map. If it's time, I never expected to live to 2046. By my estimation, the end of the world should be here in 10 years. If it's space, I also never expected to arrive in 2046. It's like a virtual reality, paradoxical to the point of being unimaginable. This book will tell you what's popular in 2046.
"Everyone goes through this stage. Seeing a mountain, you want to know what's behind it. I want to tell him that after crossing it, you might find nothing special, and looking back might be better."
"You know the more you want to know if you've forgotten, the clearer you remember. I once heard someone say, when you can no longer possess, the only thing you can do is remind yourself not to forget." — Wong Kar-wai's diverse forms achieve harmony, like a magic trick. This style blends Hollywood's commercialization with the meticulous perfection of intellectuals, leaving one speechless. Based on the personal creativity of stars, several different elements come together to form a whole. — From L’Humanite (Jean-Pierre Léonardini)
Before us is a great creator. His camera captures a dance, and his aesthetic genius makes people's emotions flow naturally. — From Le Monde (Jean-Luc Dantin)
Beautiful yet cold visuals are dizzying. Wong Kar-wai shows us his personal creative realm, brilliant and irresistible in charm. — From Zurban (Valdo Riedke)
