Happy Together (1997, Hong Kong) Directed by: Wong Kar-wai
“Yes, it’s a set up for a sequel, but on top of that, it gives the overall message. We can’t get trapped in our own self pitty and depression over our failures, break ups, and love that never happened. We can’t stay condensed in our own heads, hence why the ceiling is so small that he can’t even stand up right. We need to go out, because it’s a big world, way too big to be stuck in our own heads. Tony Leung is the representation that we need to move on in our lives, and experience the world.”

”You’re right, because to me Chungking Express and Fallen Angels are one film that should be three hours long. I always think these two films should be seen together as a double bill. In fact, people asked me during an interview for Chungking Express: “You’ve made these two stories which have no relationship at all to each other, how can you connect them?” And I said, “The main characters of Chungking Express are not Fay Wang or Takashi Kaneshiro, but the city itself, the night and day of Hong Kong. Chungking Express and Fallen Angels together are the bright and dark of Hong Kong.” I see the films as inter-reversible, the character of Fay Wang could be the character of Takashi in Fallen Angels; Brigitte Lin in Chungking could be Leon Lai in Fallen Angels. All of their characters are inter-reversible. Also, in Chungking we were shooting from a very long distance with long lenses, but the characters seem close to us”. -Wong Kar Wai
