In The Mood For Love (read love as food)

Ya, you read the title right. The use of metaphors has always been a crucial part of storytelling when it comes to cinema. There are different ways to layer a story, sometimes water is used to layer a particular emotion and sometimes we get to see the use of flowers etc. Wong Kar-Wai food as a metaphor to layer his movies. Just like Chungking Express we got to see a lot of food references in this movie and to be honest, for me, this movie had better food references as compared to Chungking Express. If I have to comment upon him selecting food to juxtapose the emotions and characters, it was a pretty nice idea because food is something with which humans can get feel connected, just like music. Just like the way music has different genres, food has different tastes which can be easily blended with the emotions of the players on the screen.

छोटी सी घटना बड़ा महत्व रखती हैं। वातावरण को बदलने में सक्षम घटना तो हतप्रत भी कर देती हैं। अब आप ही देखिए ना- किसी गुंडे ने किसी आदमी को चाकू मार दिया और वह आदमी मरता नहीं तो लोग तो यही कहते है ना- वाह! चाकू खाकर भी जिंदा हैं।
