Many people had mixed reactions towards that film. <i>Chungking Express</i> is my favorite film of WKW's so far as I'm eager for what he will do next.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-77132211975628879592014-01-06T13:12:05.083-08:002014-01-06T13:12:05.083-08:00Well, mostly it's just Chungking Express, whic...Well, mostly it's just Chungking Express, which I did not like much at all. I also didn't like My Blueberry Nights, but I think everyone else considers that a real weak effort on his part. <br /><br />I consider his trilogy (Days of Being Wild, In the Mood for Love, 2046) to be the best complete trilogy put to film; period, and I really like some of his other work, like Ashes of Time.<br /><br />So, that comment was somewhat overstated. I find Chungking Express, which is largely thought to be his masterpiece, to be overrated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-75120338125328320222014-01-06T12:05:22.793-08:002014-01-06T12:05:22.793-08:00@Fisti-Well I'm glad you like In the Mood for ...@Fisti-Well I'm glad you like <i>In the Mood for Love</i> although may I ask what films of his do you think are overrated?thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-28965481831480997242014-01-06T11:40:20.092-08:002014-01-06T11:40:20.092-08:00In the Mood for Love is easily in my top 15 films ...In the Mood for Love is easily in my top 15 films of all time...EASILY!

Then the rest of his work from the late 80s and early 90s. <i>My Blueberry Nights</i> I feel is a film that is too derivative of everything he's done as it didn't have the looseness that I expected while some scenes I thought felt awkward. Still, I would rate that film over most people's work.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-28500302381860574512014-01-05T17:43:15.443-08:002014-01-05T17:43:15.443-08:00I still need to see more of his work, esp.

Curious about My Blueberry Nights as well, even if it's just to see Norah Jones' acting.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.com
