Hello, this is mimosa vinyl. Today, I will introduce the OST of Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love'. In the Mood for Love means a time in life when you were as beautiful as a flower. The bitter aftertaste that follows such pleasant words may be because you know that flowers will eventually fade away. 'In the Mood for Love', one of Wong Kar-wai's representative works, is a work that has been consistently loved to this day for the delicate and touching acting of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, and the beautiful mise-en-scène at every moment. - In 1962 Hong Kong, Xiao Lichen and Chow Mo-yun, who live in the same apartment, find out about their spouses' affair, and they feel pity for each other and gradually become closer. That is how their subtle relationship begins, and they gradually fall in love as if they were drenched in a drizzle, feeling pity and comforting each other who are suffering from the same pain. The characters' three-dimensional emotions are really interesting. While feeling an incredible attraction to each other, at the same time, they cannot forgive themselves for feeling such emotions, so they constantly suppress their emotions and push each other away. - The soundtrack is also famous. 'Yumeji's Theme' that plays when the two main characters pass each other on the narrow stairs was later parodied in various works. (It was also used in the drama 'The Glory' - Moon Dong-eun and Ha Do-young's first meeting.) Nat King Cole's jazz that flows together fills the screen with passionate rhythm and rich melody as if revealing the hearts hidden in the restrained expressions of the characters. - Love is sometimes beautiful because it is not fulfilled, and some love is completed incompletely. Watching the love of the two without any superficial progress, you may feel a hollow feeling as if a corner of your heart has been pierced, but many new emotions fill that emptiness. While watching the movie, a passage from a book I read recently came to mind. "A fleeting reunion is ultimately the first scene of a separation. The beauty of love is not the disorganized emotions of a reunion, but a long, long time album of longing that is carefully stored away." / Yang Gui-ja, [A Thousand Years of Love] ????
