Chungking Express

I loved this movie because it's so action-packed. Despite the reason that I could understand the movie without subtitles because I am cantonese and I always watched that kind of style of movies, I thought that movie was really well made.
The plot in this moving is a little strange though. There is two story about two cops and their love lives. It didn't really make sense to switch to another story right after the other one ended. It is the thrill and enjoyment of the movie that makes it so good. The movie is constantly thrilling.
The camera work is fantastic in the movie. The way they used the camera really captured the moment. Like when there was a chase scene, they would make it more slow motion like so you can almost like feel it. Also, the actors were great. It looked like they weren't even using any scripts and they were just doing something. Every scene in this movie was absolutely amazing and it was a pleasure to watch this movie. The ending might be a little confusing because it's unlike an American film with an ending but since I always watch Hong Kong movies at home, I thought the ending was great. The whole movie was done really well and is definitely worth watching.
