The story of my life

When I saw this movie some years ago, I was thinking during the film that it was the story of my life at the time.

Not of my entire life but my love life only.

Such as Chow Mo-wan, several women were filling my love life in those days: a woman that was my lost love, a beautiful girl with who I was spending some good time and that was just a toy for me (and she wanted something more serious with me) and a another woman that I liked but that was not interested in me.

This movie is superb, the soundtrack is addicting. One of the best films ever made.

I think almost all of WKW's movies sounds like most people's love life, even for the ones who are living in a requited relationship. Such little things in small scenes are things that I can relate for the things I've experienced.

Shouldn't one be able to appreciate a film without the personalizing? How fair is it to the film to determine its quality based upon whether it realtes to one's personal life?

Oh, I see: this film is about a person who is self-centered, narcissistic -- and that is bound to appeal to the same in some other individuals.

And what exactly is wrong with someone appreciating a film because of its resemblance to his personal life? You people are silly and judgmental.

And what exactly is wrong with critically evaluating the doing of that you propose: personalizing the impersonal?

Yes, it strikes a chord with me also. Many can relate to this movie, since the story arcs through different persons and time lines. If one has a lost love from the past, this movie can reach and resonate.

Time travel is peculiar, isn't it?
