Happy Together is so underrated compared to its counterparts but it's also one of the most beautiful. Even if Chiu-wai's character speaks in Cantonese while Chen's character speaks in Mandarin, it doesn't create a distance because it shows the understanding between the two. In the cinematography, in the sounds, it shows all that. Chiu-wai and Cheung's acting all delivers that. The chemistry between the two is undeniable. Conflicted but at the same time very powerful. He's able to deliver Po-wing's character with such rawness and explosion of emotions. On the other hand, we have a charismatic Leslie Cheung here. He wants Po-wing (Leslie Cheung) but he can't show that but we still know he does - that part is delivered very well. Currently, Happy Together is still placed as one of the most popular shows on Korean free-to-air. It was the most popular show on KBS from 20022003, and further continued its success in two more seasons.
It's a much more dramatic, challenging and intense character, he delivered in with more passion characters. Happy Together ( Korean : RR : Haepitugedeo) is a South Korean talk show which first ran on Novemon KBS2. Yes, he won Best Actor for In the Mood for Love but I'd say Happy Together is his opus. Of course, we have Tony Leung Chiu-wai again. The setting and scenery are all beautiful. The aesthetics are also reminiscent of other Kar-wai elements - cramped apartments, sudden close-ups, intense DOFs. The visuals speak as much as the story, as much as the actors. There's color when they rekindle their relationship or as they say "start over" again. The black-and-white colors reflect their time apart.
Episodes are aired with English subtitles not only in episode reruns, but also episodes uploaded on KBSs official YouTube channel. The show began airing in HD on March 17, 2011. The film also pays tribute to classic noir style. The following is a list of episodes of the South Korean talk show Happy Together (), broadcast on KBS2 every Thursday at 23:05 KST starting November 8, 2001. Kar-wai won Best Director at Cannes for a reason. But instead of focusing on that aspect like other films do, it focuses more on their time together. Often overshadowed by In the Mood for Love and Chungking Express, Happy Together is both a happy and sad portrayal of romance. I'd say that Happy Together is probably much more daring than his other films. An unlikely choice but a beautiful one.Īs with other Kar-wai films, it's always the cinematography that lunges at you. Instead, it's set in the other side of the world: Argentina. But Happy Together is not an ode to Hong Kong.
Rewatch Value 8.0 I've always said that Wong kar-wai's films are like odes to Hong Kong.
