The films of Wong Kar-Wai are convincing me I would really like Hong Kong, but I have discovered that In the Mood for Love was actually shot in Bangkok. I will go there too, then. I like music in this film, and the accents.
Axé.

ADVERTENCIA AL LECTOR.
1. While writing here is an excellent exercise for my English style and for writing as such, it is bad for my style in Spanish. Therefore some posts may be in languages other than English.
2. Corybantic, rather anarchical and possibly Liangian, this blog is opposed to everything I find mean. It criticizes things you may hold dear. It resists authoritarianism and received ideas. It vaporizes Fascists.
3. This blog is a codex you have found. It speaks to one and all. But it also holds secrets and hides its face, for I who now perform the ancient text must adapt its words for modernity. I am a sculpted skull on a stela at Copán.
SE LES AGRADECE LA GENTIL COMPRENSION Y, COMO SIEMPRE, LA VISITA.

Mictlantecuhtli · Writing in Memory of Paulo Freire
“What Wong Kar-wai does for an hour and a half is to butter up his audience for two or three levels of mood play: a mood for love, to begin with; but even more substantially, a mood for nostalgia, and a mood for melodrama”.
I am in the mood for love but not for nostalgia and melodrama. Life itself has a lot of nostalgia and melodrama on her own. Adding more of those by going to the movie doesn’t appeal to me. I’d rather go to Hong Kong and LIVE there if I could!
Film and Hong Kong are 2 things. Film isn’t the kind of melodrama you appear to think.
I love comedy,especially rosy comedy. I still remember when we students used to make fun of our professors, one of them being Federico M Zaragoza and one of my collegues interpreted her love for Biochemistry….
She sang,
Fede,
es el chico que fascina
que cautiva a las bambinas
eso sí que es un gachón,
Fede,
no expliques más los enzimas
mándanos bellas bambinas,
eso me entusiasma más,
