This film has two different titles: its Chinese title is: "Qing mei zhu ma", an idiomatic phrase coined by poet Li Bai that means “Green plum, bamboo horse”, an oblique reference to a couple whose love has emerged out of childhood games and trivia. It is applied by director Edward Yang ironically for the film’s two main characters: Lung (taiwanese New Wave filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien, *you can watch a video about "Millennium Mambo" on my channel) and Chin (Tsai Chin) are long-time sweethearts who are excruciatingly distant from each other. Internationally the film is known instead as "Taipei Story", an apparent reference to Yasujirō Ozu’s "Tōkyō Monogatari" (Tokyo Story, 1953), a film that, like "Taipei Story", explores a nation and city’s marked departure from traditional values. "The film’s separate titles illuminate two distinct yet overlapping truths about Yang’s masterful Taiwanese New Wave film". (Nicholas Bugeja - Senses of Cinema)
Beautiful. Just finished the movie and this is a fitting tribute. Almost feels like Lung, who's trapped in the nostalgic past, is screaming "I live in a different age." Thank you.
I watched your new edit and came here to watch this edit again. I haven't watched this movie yet, but I used to live in Taipei. I wasn't born in the era in which the film came out at that time. Taipei city and the people have changed a lot from the 80s to now. But damn, this edit and music gave me so much nostalgia. I came back to watch this so many times because it just reminded me of all my favourite moments in Taiwan and made me miss my family a lot! Just wanna say thank you for making this edit. And keep up the good work. Your edits and music tastes are always so lovely!!
Thank you! For my edits i always try my best to choose a song that fits the mood/meaning of the movie. And i can assure you that it's the most difficult part of the whole process 😅
Hi, I really like ur movie taste and I love ur style, I was wondering if we could get a list of movie recommendations? It’s fine if not keep up the good work
Maybe there was something with her ex-colleague at work, but i don't think that's the focus of the movie. In my opinion Yang wanted to portrait a fracture in the 80' taiwanese society. One side still attached to the old tradition (like Lung and Chin's father). The other instead understood the changing of times, the end of an era and is ready to leave seeking a better (?) life (Chin). She puts all her hopes on Lung (under the promise of moving to the Usa) but he let her down, once again, because he really doesn't want to leave his motherland (because he hates modern capitalist society), which he still love (in fact he uses all his money trying to help his friend and Chin father)
@@noeltolive he went to tokyo to meet with that other girl, without telling Chin. But the movie don't clarify on that, because It doesn't really matter. It Is enough to make you understand that there is unresolved problems whitin the couple. By the way, if you read my pinned comment, there's also an interesting fact about the title of the movie.
@@Clarencito yeah ive read it, thanks again. i was just confused about what's going on but i get the "real" issue of the movie. I got hooked to edward yang's movies these days after binge-watching wong kar-wai's films. Much love from Philippines.
@@noeltolive on my Channel you can also find a video on "Yi Yi", and tomorrow i will complete my "Yang Trilogy" with a video on "A Brighter Summer Day"

i can't find the song
is it wrong to like this video more than the movie itself lol
Yes! 😅
This movie is 10/10 feelsbadman for Jung
i have a question, was chin cheating?
Maybe there was something with her ex-colleague at work, but i don't think that's the focus of the movie.
