150807; Happy Together

directed by Wang Kar-Wai.

Simply to say, this movie is about the Gay.

The fans of the movie director; Wang Kar-Wai, know that he is the movie maker with such
an unusal plots with very complicated visual effects and very nice and suitable musics on the films he has directed.

Well, I remember that it was very old movie, coz I think it was made in mid-1990s, so I think
at that time I was might be an elementary student.
Now I am old enough to see the movie which is about Gay without any judgement from others.

At first, the first scene of the movie was fade out and it was filmed in the black.
The most importantly, the content of the first scene was such a shocking to me.
I think it was kinda his; the director strategy to attract and keep the audiences to concentrate
on the film more afterwards.

This is because this is phychological impact to attract people mind to keep watching, normally
the viewers; the audiences expected even a little of the sex scene between Poi and Wai; 2 male
actors in the movie.

But the first one was the most shocking one, and I didn't find such a shocking scenes after the first scene anyway.

The content,,, is the love of the two males in Argentina.
The masculine male figure; Wai, Tony Liang.
Rather more femine, male figure; Poi, Leslie Chang.
There is another figure who Tony met in the chinese restaurant where he worked as the part time kichen staff to earn money in Argentina; Chang; Chang Chen.

However the third figure which I indicated above was not directly related to the two male protagonists, but it is like the friendship anyway between Wai and Chang.

As I describe a bit of the movie; Wai and Poi are the gay couple, however Poi loves Wai, but very independent figure, so he leaves Wai when he thinks he doesn't need Wai anymore to feel the sexual satisfaction. On the other hand, Wai is rather more serious figure to give him of all
to his half; Poi. That's why he works hard and be blunt towards him and also has the role to be
the masculine male figure anyway.

Well the content is simple to understand, however the complicated sources of the movie are
the use of the black and white, and the colour films; the intersections between two different scenes confuse me to understand the movie a bit.

The first scene was films in the black and white, and when the place of the filming was changed to Argentina, it turned to be coloured. Yet, when Wai drove his car to go to the Iguasu Falls, the road was seen as the black and white.

Such a disorganised and the short frames and shots and long shots of filming the natural things
; falls and the roads, are described the typical methods of the directing the film by Wang Kar-wai.

But the music of the film was really nice to hear and absorbed altogether as the perfect mixture.

The two different figures; Poi and Wai love each other wants to feel independently, doesn't want to be trapped by only one figure but back to the person who he really loves when he feels disaster; Poi and another one who loves only one and don't want to wander like his partner, very isolated whenever he is. want Poi stick to him all the time.

Whew.. That's the Happy together.
