In my life, I've seen two sequences in films that could always, no matter what, reduce me to tears. This is one, and the other is Faye Wong cleaning Tony Leung's apartment in "Chungking Express." If you've ever loved in your life, these will get you. I miss my old man every day and I couldn't have said it any better.
WKW prolly had the same real life experience, because what you desdcribed quite accurately refelects my feelings when I see this scene. Guess it has everything to do with the old man leaving a bit too early.
I just lost my dad about a month ago & I recently rewatched this film, forgetting about this scene. I just couldn’t stop crying without thinking about my dad. This is such a beautiful scene & it’s just sad being able to relate to it now.
This scene, along with the poem on childhood memories from Tarkovsky in "Zerkalo", are for me maybe two of the most beautiful little masterpieces ever written, that portrait the pass of time and life in a very deeply, sweet and nostalgic mood. There are people in this wolrd that can put words and create windows to admire those deep dimensions that we all have
I remember watching this scene for the first time and just crying. I lost my grandpa a year prior to watching this movie and he was more of a father figure to me than my real dad was. I miss and think about him every day.
This is probably the most Human moment I've seen in a movie. When i was 10 we got a camcorder and i used to record my dad. When I got to the moment he was recording his dad I almost cried. But when his father died, and then he started watching the tapes....oh man i just lose it....i lose it just thinking about it. I just cant watch this scene.
I wasn't feel related the first time watching this scene but the second time with my dad being away from me felt so different and i cried out so much. It's rare for me to cry for a scene
My father left my mother right after I was born. He never came back even though I’ve seen him 9 years ago and he had some contact with my mother. I used to not care about him, then I hated him to the point of willing to kill him with my bare hands. I still do. Not because he left me, but for all the shit he did to my mother before and after I was born. For the past few years I had a thought in the back of my mind that I don’t want to be like my father. Even though I can’t know what’s inside his head and what has he experienced in his life. Even though I don’t know him at all I still feel like I’m a lot more similar to him than I would like to be. Events, thoughts and consequences in my life echo inside my head and it feels almost like a deja vu. Recently I thought that I can understand my father better and I almost know how does he feel now and he felt back then. my father is a lonely man. I wonder how am I going to feel when he passes away. Im turning 21 on the last day of June and my parents were 40 when I was born, and my heart tells me that the time when our ways part and I won’t be able to see them ever again is not far away. I hope someday hatred will no longer corrode my heart. I’ll probably never talk to him again but I’m sure he knew all those years ago that I’ll eventually understand him better. I’m living in relative solitude for three years now. What you wish to perceive as solitude a lot of the time feels like nothing but loneliness. I wonder how does it feel for him. Was he finally able to ascend to solitude after all these years?
I am in the same boat as you, now almost 30, I dont hate my dad anymore I can even understand his position to leave a family he didnt want to be in, but the violence he used is for sure unjustified though. I dont think I will never fully forgive him, even after havent seen him for 22 years. I live a fatherly love I will never have through scenes like these. Cinema is a beautiful art.
This scene is always going to have a special place in my heart. Always. I have watched it over and over. Actually, I watched this film sometime after my Dad passed away and it made me quite emotional when he reminisces his Dad.
I lived with my uncle for 3 years. Last September, while working remotely at home, I received an ambulance call from his number. They informed me he had coronary heart disease. It was my first such call. I took annual leave that Friday afternoon and waited until 6 PM for patient visitation after his CAG surgery. As the only family member present, I spent about 10 minutes with him, video-calling his sister. We barely spoke. Everyone thought he'd recover, but at midnight, the hospital called: his pulse was dropping. They performed CPR from 4 AM to 6 AM, but he passed away. I didn't sleep for that entire night after know about that I went to his bedroom, it's hard feeling realizing that just less than 24hrs he's still there now it's only empty bed. That was on 2nd September my last year birthday I rewatched this clip that day as well.
@@thedude633 I will buddy, really eager to find out, I just exctracted it from this video now, but no idea about who performs. also not on the soundtrack list I think, very difficult
People dont talk about this scene enough, probably one of the saddest, most human moments in Cinema

Antonio Gramsci is that your real name???
So true man.. watched so many films but never found something as beautiful as these 2 films, that too from the same director.
I just lost my dad about a month ago & I recently rewatched this film, forgetting about this scene. I just couldn’t stop crying without thinking about my dad. This is such a beautiful scene & it’s just sad being able to relate to it now.
I remember that I'm almost crying for this scene.
Arf me too
same :'
I'm crying everytime i watch
Me too
i never met my father, but this scene reminds me of my grandfather, he was my real father. I miss him so much.
this scene made me love my dad even more
I never cry but this scene is so relatable to me that i cry everytime
Wong Kar Wai turns bad quality footage into an emotional moment. Amazing.

There I go crying again
same
I don't know why I'm here. I'm 14, seems like Wong Kar-wai's films are timeless. Always so dreamy too.
i like this scene. so touching.

I watch this scene i couldn't stop crying because i lost my dad 13 years ago this scene reminds me the time when i was with my father
this guy is a genius
I wasn't feel related the first time watching this scene but the second time with my dad being away from me felt so different and i cried out so much. It's rare for me to cry for a scene
This scene hits hard cause my father just passed away.... Miss u junus juda widjaja
This scene is so beautiful: onion-cutting as analog art
The scene is not here but the scene where the dad is watching the video of the son filming him and laughing got me for some reason
Just watched this film last night and this scene had the tears flowing, perfect representation of feeling that loss but trying to reminisce.

Remember that hate is not the opposite of love
There's healing beyond those heights you deem insurmountable.

I don't wanna be a grown-up
God, thank you for Wong Kar Wai and his sensitive...
if I feel I wanna cry it out, I come back at this scene
So fucked up that this song isn't on Spotify
The choice of placing the camera by the door and not right by the character made the whole scene
i love such types of movies and i just cant be bored anyway because of those
this part always makes me cry :-(

This says what all sons want to tell their fathers. Thank goodness for art to say all the things left unsaid.

I love my dad
only scene i’ve ever cried too
We Should Enjoy our Dads because one Day We wont Have They Anymore.
I rewatch this movie like 2 times. I can't explain why this movie is good but it gives me a lonely feeling somehow
