Please consider doing Comet (2014)! It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and a great portrayal of doomed romance. Mr. Nobody would also make a great video for this series! Thank you🙏
@@mysteriumconiunctionis5207Well the movie is about finding the right person, at the wrong place and time. Falling for them, but never really getting to love them or tell them just how much you want to. Then to add insult to the injury, your romance ends before it could ever begin and you don't even get closure.
Thank you for doing justice to this beautiful movie. I've loved this movie for so long and it's mostly been without any solid reason. You seem to capture that reason through this video so eloquently I was moved to tears. The memory of a moment is always better than what it was, their love will always linger in them through time because it was unmarred by time. Unlike their marriages, they didn't let it go on long enough to be ruined. The three tracks repeating also give you that taste of nostalgia, something that works because they are songs that WKW remembers his mother playing in his childhood. His nostalgia seeps into the narrative much like his love for Hong Kong does. A beautiful movie with a beautiful essay it so richly deserved. Thank you for this again. Much like the movie, I'm sure I'll keep coming back to this over and over again for solace.
"I've loved this movie for so long and it's mostly been without any solid reason." A very relatable comment. In fact, you verbalised my thoughts exactly. Although for me part of it is simply because it is a visual and aural masterpiece. A deeper analysis and interpretation, as contained in this review, of the underlying theme and meaning is merely a bonus. And, what great review. Thanks Screened.
I'm SO GLAD you included this masterpiece into your series, which is also a masterpiece series in itself. Please keep making more entries - NO ONE else is doing this kind of series on YT than you.
I really love this film! It's so poetic, bittersweet yet so breathtaking! And I just notice his ring finger bare when he whispered his secrets to the hole, and imagining his lonely years, the unrequited love and maybe reminiscing their moments with Mrs. Chan as the days passed by that it came bearable that he finally decide to let suppressed feelings go is just painful to me!
Many thanks... "In the Mood for Love" is one of those unwatchable movies for the normal audience. It's core messages and stylistic methods, though almost being a "student of film", eluded me when I simply watched it. And I dare to do that only alone. With family around, it's impossible to pay enough attention. Eyi... you always need the subtitles lah (the sound of colloquial Cantonese, incomparable) ! What's happening in the movie? It's a great and endlessly tragic love story once you grasp that they do not mean, maybe in the case of Chow, half mean to be together. They reel from the indefelity of their spouses, a realization of what and how rotten life is. Though a child enters the story, but at the very last moment in the final reminiscence, they, as childless couples, don't face the possibility of divorce, a swap of spouses. It's strange. Yes, the public eye weighs heavily, but that does not half explain the convction, at leasr her's to the end, of not perpetrating that what their infidel spouses do. They are really strong. Chow is the weaker, as he jumps on the opportunity to get away to Singapore and therby ends both affairs. In the end, looking back 30 or more years, he realizes that he may missed his life. Stylistically, I think, ItMfL is unsurpassed.
Beautiful movie. Beautiful essay. Beautiful series. You guys keep improving the chanel at each new video, great content as always! It feels wrong having all this for free. Much love
The anticipation built up in this movie was something special. Had to have a smoke and reflect on this movie. It was so beautifully done. Literally just finished this movie, and since I got nobody to share what I just seen. I'm here. Much love you all ✌🏾 Sidenote, I also had to add the Nat King Cole song to my playlist.
To me, the most special thing about this wonderful movie is the perspective. In western movies, we're mostly presented with the cheaters' side of the story. A down on his luck guy or girl will win over their love interest and they'll ditch their partners to be together. This movie offered a press perspective of seeing things from the cheated-upons' point of view and how they suffer and try to understand something they can't really undo.
I recently watched this movie for the first time and after finishing it I thought it would fit perfectly as one of those videos. I have adored this series since it started and I'm so glad you made this addition
Watched this last night, I couldn't utter a single sound for 10 minutes afterwards from sheer awe. So happy to see people still talking about this movie.
After noticing you were to release a video about this movie, I immediately watched it and loved it, especially the footage and the relationship that started to surge between the characters (which I think is quite different from what we are used to as Westerns, something similar from what you said in the video about privacy). I also recently watched Long Day’s Journey Into Night and omg I loved it so much. I am not quite sure if that film can be considered as a “doomed romance movie” but would love you making a video about the movie! Amazing video btw (as usual). RUclips needs more channels like this ;(
I do think there's a mood shared between this movie and Long Day's Journey Into Night. Two great atmospheric movies. I wonder if it is a Doomed Romance.
Wow. That's some pretty deep cinematography indeed! No wonder I felt inexplicably enchanted and just got sucked right in by the film's atmosphere. Even if I didn't understand a whole lot of it at the time, I definitely enjoyed it more thanks to the great execution.
One of my favorite movies! The way this movie is shot, is sooo ahead of it's time especially knowing that it's an asian director, so brilliant, so clever in playing with colors as well. So beautiful 😭
This series of yours is ❤️ All of these has been so calm, and yet, discussing the storm of romance !!! It makes me believe, and love the romance in more than one ways, in the righteousness and in the despair !!!
This was such a great video. I loved the quotes from the director explaining the movien and their thought process I'm definitely going to look for this movie now and watch it sometime
my only complaint about this movie, is that the two characters played by Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, two beautiful people that surely will be attracted to each other regardless of the betrayal of their spouses. but then if they were potrayed by average looking people, it may spoiled the beautiful picture
I haven't watched this movie but coming from your essay, I just know it is beautiful. It doesn't even spoiled me a bit. It just captured the true essence of the movie. And that's what more important. Thank you Screened! I'm gonna watch this. You always recommend beautiful, meaningful movies! 😊
Recently saw the semi-doomed romance film “closer” (2004). There are no good reviews or analysis of this film. I think the film is deeper and more complex than what many see at first glance.
One of the best movies ever. I cannot listen to nat king cole anymore without thinking of this and 2046. 😎 As an illustrator these movies are an inspiration.
can you illustrate something for me... lets say "pain"....simple pencil sketch where less is more..? I would say no more than 5 minutes of pencil sketch...but with some thought of course. To go with my poem on pain.
@@nom5205 I may not be the right person to do that. If you take a look at my portfolio at www.icreateworlds.net you´ll see that human figure or anything related to that is not something i tend to do as my thing are mostly environments and more broad type of themes than specific emotional topics. You either need someone that excells in human figure as an illustrator or someone who actually is a painter in the more traditional style. I wouldnt even know where to begin to try to create you something.
Great analysis! This film is devastatingly beautiful. Can you do Chungking Express? For me, that film feels so unrestrained and a gift to cinema (and Amelie was a copy of one of the film's protagonists..)
Sometimes it depends on the mood. It's okay. No film is for everyone. But if you've ever encountered unrequited love, this film can push the button so hard... very hard.
I watched the movie for the first time during lockdown and I must say, it was one of the most painful movies about unfulfilled love. Thank you for this video! You definitely explored this movie in depths.
Never saw this film, aware of actor Tony Leung from Hidden Blade (2023), was referred to it by a contemporary British character Henry in Red White Royal Blue (2023) who described it as the swooniest after answering that In the Mood for Love was his favorìte movie. I still explore why Henry feels so or rather why this info was included in the onscreen adapation of fiction.
It appears your RUclips has gone away. That is unfortunate for all of us who love movies. It is not my way to compare movies this masterpiece and for example lost in translation. And the sensorial expositions are more effective proof of the obvious attraction of these two. It is not restraint which guides their behavior, much more so, their character which is guided much more by respect and self knowledge. This movie owes a lot to Hitchcock with its closed spaces. Your comment about the low angle is in some ways a very good synopsis of how we should view them struggling and honest with themselves and each other.

Have you ever wondered who the kid belongs to? Leaving that aside my favourite part of the movie has to be the colours used in the film, primarily green red and purple and how it changes with the mood of the people.
Even if I didn't weep like a baby, for the movie was not a tearful one if you ask me, I can't deny that something there inside me was split in twain at the end of ''In The Mood for Love''.
you will only feel the pain in this movie if you were in a relationship but lonely, if you were betrayed, if your heart fell in love with someone, but your body was with someone else., if you were trapped in so many longings. This movie brings back all those emotions.
Let me know about your favorite Doomed Romance movie!
Here is a list on our Letterboxd: boxd.it/4xrxE

my life is a doomed romance...
5cm per second!
I can't choose! I think it may be.my favorite genre 😂😂
In The Mood For Love is pure emotional torture for me. Like the most longest and painful edging session but the climax just never comes.
never thought of it that way....but that makes total sense!!

Every Frame a Painting was just brilliant... Too short lived.
Just in time for the Wong-Kar Wai retrospectives :)
Enjoy 👍
My favourite won Kar wai movie! His take on love and loneliness is so beautiful and unique!💗
Yes he knows how to channel it visually 👍
this movie is such a masterpiece. Although sad, I never get bored of watching it. Every time I watch it, I feel and discover something new.

Many thanks... "In the Mood for Love" is one of those unwatchable movies for the normal audience. It's core messages and stylistic methods, though almost being a "student of film", eluded me when I simply watched it. And I dare to do that only alone.

I went into this movie blind, thinking that that it would be a fun, almost rom-com type of film. Boy, I was wrong and this movie broke my heart.
A rom-com?! Boy, you were misled! Someone must have given you some serious misinformation!
A Moment/s forever lost in time. It's the kind of nostalgia that haunts every adult the more weaker they get.
The anticipation built up in this movie was something special. Had to have a smoke and reflect on this movie. It was so beautifully done.

Not doomed. Love is preserved in the moments they enjoyed or endured together or alone. The longings they felt. Love does not stay forever.
