Wong’s 2046 is an erotic movie, so do Wong’s previous shots such as “in the mood of love.†I haven’t seen the “2046†and probably will never see it. It is not of my taste (including the type of women in the movie).
In fact, I don’t need to see the movie to know what will happen in it. Wong’s movies always start with a sluggish man who claims himself some sort of past celebrity, lodges in a dirty place, and is surrounded by sexually unsatisfied women. Sure, those women are call girls, rebellious ladies, or husband-on-leave. But it doesn’t matter. Sex is the major theme in these movies. The sexual activities will be silent, lewd, but masked. You can see legs but no butts. Note: it is said that Ziyi Zhang, who has determined to become the sexist movie star ever, will demonstrate some fancy sexual techniques in the movie.
