戒酒，不是不沾就是戒了，而是沾了不醉，才叫戒。

"Some wounds do not close. I have many such. One just walks around with them, and sometimes one can feel them filling with blood."

你这不叫缺，你这叫穷。

"I will need to act in a way that meets with the edges of my morality."

 人生就像射箭，梦想就像箭靶子。连箭靶子都找不到在哪，你每天拉弓有什么用。

"If I had a dream that didn't come true, I could at least be pissed off at the world. Instead I'm just pissed off at myself."

 这世界上成大事的男人都是因为女人。放弃爱情的男人，没一件事干的成。

courage is contagious.

 别人的性命是框金又包银

Memento 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. before Tenet, before Inception, before Batman, there was this. if you wonder about Christopher Nolan's habit for challenging and science-based plots, it began here.

Devil 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. riveting premise, absorbing writing. not only one of my favourite one-location films, but one of the most claustrophobic.

"he mistook me for my mother so I used a knife to show him the difference"

花样年华 20th anniversary

20 years ago this month. the most gorgeous of Wong Kar-wai's gallery of films. he portrays romance in a way many feel but few articulate.
