You won't be disappointed!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Story surrounding two recently dumped cops falling for two tsunderes (women with cold appearances but cuddly hearts) .. Romantic comedy featuring amazing cinematography with a multitude of color palettes and lighting schemes , and the choppy frame editing providing either rushed, hurried, or stagnating feeling--------------------------------------------------------------------Cop 223: He splits up with his girl of 5 years on April Fool's, and believing it's a bad prank he eats her favorite meal, a can of pineapples, once a day until his birthday a month later. He vows when his birthday arrives he'll move on from his past girlfriend and fall in love with the next woman he lays eyes on ..That woman happens to be a cocaine dealer disguised in a raincoat, shades, and a blond wig. After a deal gone wrong, she's hunting for the men who set her up , when she has a fated encounter with Cop 223. It only lasts for a night, a restless night, as both want each other's company but fail to understand each other's feelings, instead spending the night tossing and turning in the bed and through t.v. channels …Cop 663: The California Dream Tale .. He visits a local coffee shop everyday in hopes he'll run into a flight hostess he had a one-night with. As he shares his stories of loneliness with the workers, the cousin of the owner - Faye - slowly begins to fall in love with the man. One night, the flight hostess goes to the coffee shop and returns the Cop's keys with a letter. The Cop doesn't want the letter (so he can keep dreaming of her return) and asks for Faye to hold on to it until he's ready. Few days later Faye runs into the Cop while he's on break and the rest is history …..She begins sneaking into his house when he's not home and redecorates. The Cop suspects someone is in his home but doesn't mind the company. Eventually she gets busted twice , but instead of admitting her affection for the cop, she escapes on a "plane" to California and leaves the cop a message to wait for her for one year …..8.5/10 …. Feels like a personal home video, a man with a camera venturing Hong Kong taking romantic shots of his friends 100/10 in the name of changing the game of cinematography

Wong Kar Wai(WKW) is a cinematic genius. Chunkgking Express, a film highly regarded by many a critic, is a sheer marvel of the style WKW has coined and developed over the years. A mood piece that delves into the all too common human experiences of love, heartbreak, regret, and even the hidden strength of starting anew. The film is broken up into two parts that are parallel in structure and theme, but separated by time. The first part follows beat cop 223, a low-end cop who polices the streets of Hong Kong. This premise serves as a jumping off point to a brilliant look into the yearning of youth in the streets of HK.WKW uses visual imagery to punctuate these very visceral, lived-in experiences that reach a level of transcendence due to charm,love, and an extraordinary ability to connect with the audience. Let me be 100% transparent, I hold the WKW films of the early 90's- 2000's above all else. There is this frenetic style and charisma that burns all up and down his movies that make them unforgettable...The movie employs a clever, twin structure that adds slightly more complexity to the film; making two disjointed plots more nuanced than they would be separately.The second, lengthier half of the plot follows beat cop 663. Recently dumped by his girlfriend, struggling to pick up the pieces. WKW, essentially played it both ways. The first half has a slightly different tone; showing the underbelly of HK, which accentuates the rugged and frenetic pace. On the same token, the second half really hones in on two characters, develops their world, who they are, and how they connect.Ultimately, there is one thing that continually resonates with me about this film, and that being its vision. You do not see melancholy portrayed so beautifully, so captivatingly. Is this film a masterpiece? I don't know, but I have yet to see a film anything like this - which makes it all the more special.

Quirky, melancholic & delightfully amusing, Chungking Express is an affectionately crafted story about love, loneliness & the often difficult process of moving on from a failed relationship which works best when you allow yourself to go with the flow rather than trying to dig through its plot to find out what it's all about.Taking place in Hong Kong, the story of Chungking Express concerns two melancholic policemen who are distraught with heartbreak over their recent break-ups, and follows them around for the next few days as one of them falls for a mysterious female underworld figure while the other one has his life spruced up by a young girl working at a snack bar he frequents.Written & directed by Wong Kar-wai (best known for In the Mood for Love), the two stories that unfold within the film pack pretty much the same outline and missed overlapping each other by 0.01 cm. Both the halves are crafted with intimacy, brim with a heartwarming quality and feature idiosyncratic characters whose equally eccentric behaviours provide it a rich flavour.The environment its story unfolds in is abundant in population yet each character appears to be living in their own little worlds, unaware of the numerous possibilities that are within their reach. The camera is operated with a kinetic flair and is never at rest. Editing keeps the two narratives separate yet similar in tone & feel, while music uplifts many moments with its finely chosen tracks.Not all attempts at humour work, for few fall flat or seem overdone while others are right on target. The lighthearted vibe is retained until the end and although a poignant feeling is evident nearly all the time, Wong never allows it to take charge of the story. Performances are spot-on as both the leads & the supporting actors play their part fittingly, with Faye Wong impressing the most of them all.On an overall scale, Chungking Express is an oddball example of its genre that's as endearing as it is captivating, and is another wonderful entry in Wong Kar-wai's rich filmography. Finely directed, weirdly scripted, stylishly photographed, calmly edited, exquisitely scored & brilliantly performed, it may require more than one viewing to fully grasp the underlying themes & subtexts but even on first-viewing, it promises & delivers a whole lot of fun.

Chungking Express is a tale about connectedness, coincidence, old habits and love. The movie dives more into the idea that people can be in the same place at a different time. There are even scenes where characters are in the same place at the same time, but they are completely unaware. This is the theme of the film. The director cleverly showed the distance between people and capturing the moments of spontaneous contacts. The setting is 1994 Hong Kong where the urban streets and buildings seem to be part of the story as silent witnesses on the characters. The mood has a note of nostalgia on it, like you know this feeling before but you cannot pin point why or how. And as the title of the film is derived from two places in Hong Kong – Chungking Mansion and Midnight Express – so is the movie presenting two stories of detached cops and how they cope up with their lost love. The two stories are unrelated, however, and are presented one after the other.It is truly majestic. There is a certain charm about this film, a sort of dreamlike quality.
