Aesthetically Amazing, Lacking in Character Development
21 March 2018
Happy Together (Chinese: Chun gwong cha sit) (1997)

Doyle's camera, Blur, slow down, upside down, Cut, pan, tilt, track, zoom Cinematography dream. Artful shots and scenes, Magic with Wong's direction. Two lovelorn lost souls Wandering Argentina, Not much else for plot, Still manages to take us On hypnotic ride. Like the waterfall they seek From the lamp they bought, This ode to loneliness shows Downfall of their love, From the boldly sexual start To the truthful end. Title's complete opposite, As Lai Yiu-fai says, "Lonely people... all the same." Sorrowful Apart. Despite aesthetic merits, Failed to capture me. Never really cared for them, Lacked necessary Character development, Not enough substance, Aside from a few key scenes, Ideally watched in background.

Choka (long poem) is an epic storytelling form of poetry from the Waka period, an unrhymed poem with the 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7...7 syllable format (any odd number line length with alternating five and seven syllable lines that ends with an extra seven syllable line). #Choka #PoemReview
