2046 - IN SEARCH OF LOST MEMORIES

No doubt, this is one of the greatest film that I've ever watched. I love the way the movie is presented and most importantly, the message of the film.

Directed by Wong Kar Wai (also directly gay love story Happy Together), the movie is about Chow (Tony Leung), a journalist, trying to search his memories of his past affair, Li Zhen (Maggie Cheung). Because he couldn't get her, he searched for women who got similarilities with Li Zhen, as if he finally got her by his side. He wrote a novel, imagined himself, boarding a train that leaving a place called 2046 so that he could forget Li Zhen forever. 2046 is the room number where they first started their affair. At last, he finally realised that he was wrong to find a subtitute for Li Zhen as nobody can replaced her, and he had no choice but stayed with his hope that she would come back to him one day.

Actually, I learnt a lot from this movie. When people can't let go from their previous relationship, they will search for someone that resembles their ex-lover. Don't you think this is very wrong? How about if we found someone who is more alike our ex-lover? Will we dump the current one and go for the more alike one? Or what happen if our ex-lover come back to us? Who will you choose?

In most cases, the main problem here is mostly about letting it go. When a relationship failed especially when we are being rejected, most people tends to search for reasons? Why he dumped me? What have I did wrongly? Why don't you accept me?

In reality, there's no right or wrong in relationship. When it failed, it fails. When we had try hard to save it, and it's still the same, then it's time for us to move on. The so called recapturing memories is not a bad thing at all, as long as the memories we tried to search are the good ones, and able to help us to make ourselves a better person in future. However, if those for fault finding, or making us lost and in despair, then it will be a disaster for us.

When dealing with emotions, it will be a difficult to handle. But come on, this is LIFE! :) Still remember, when I first being dumped, I was totally in lost and takes a long time to recover. I was just like the protoganist in this movie. Now, if I am being dumped, I think I can move on easily. But anyway I hope Art won't leave me lor...

P/S: This post is only for sharing, and I don't have any problems in my relationship now :P
