I love the way Wong Kar Wai uses his "signature": waiting...pause.....focus...details...pause...done intelligently...it is the height of Hong kong cinematic arthouse! :) The resolutions/conclusions/refrains are always in the silence and not the words...nicely done!
"There's always something waiting at the end of the road. If you're not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place." Sweet..
That's pretty obvious actually.
first FAVOURITE director.
This is truly amazing. Incredible how a story can be told with so little dialogue.
Superb filmmaking.
every single shot of this film can make a perfect advertisement.
Incredible!
The name of the song is "Unicornio", performed by Cecilia Noel.
I have been looking for the name of this BGM. Thanks a lot.❤
haven't watched this commercial for a while, and now watch it again. Still love it big time!
i've watched it 20 times...still memorizing and haunting!!
I love cars and Wong's movies. That's a fine idea
Awesome! Proud of you Wong Kar Wai. A Greeting from Hong Kong.
awesome! Lima and Owen directed by a master. Loved it
no words to describe this beauty^^ my favourite shortfilm in "the Hire" .
they left forrest whitaker out of the credits? that guy's an oscar winner!!!
I thought so. I didn't understand that either. Must be a contract thing.
When they shot the short it was only supposed to be for perspective BMW customers. What is the shorts got distribute it online and violating the terms of the contract. That’s why he’s not credited. That’s also why you can’t usually buy a hard copy of this particular short film.
@@brotherdandy so, they'd show this film to you at the dealership or something?
it is "unicornio azul" by silvio rodriguez
i think it is guadalupe pineda the one who sings it
beautiful
Clive Owen looks so young and cute in that film!
This cut is not as good as the original cut with the original music track mix of Unicornio sung by Silvio Rodriguez.
BTW, of all of the BWM short films shot by all of the different directors with different plots and actors, this, by far, was the best. It shows why Wong is the master. His films always have such strong emotions associated with it.
amazing.
"On foot is the same... except it's with heels not wheels"
soundtrack....SILVIO RODRIGUEZ, from Cuba.
thank you, sir!
But it is not Silvio Rodriguez singing
Najlepszy zamochód w Europie
There's always something waiting at the end of the road. If you're not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.
Well why would you be out there if you don't wanna see it?
Why isn't Forest Whitaker in the ending credits? He's a big deal.
"The BMW Films were originally intended to be webcast only. A promotional DVD was made for in-house circulation, and its ensuing popularity (and emergence on eBay) convinced parties involved to distribute the collection in hard copy. The original pressing did not include The Follow; the film was removed from the BMW Films website. Internet rumors attributed the cause to a contract dispute with Whitaker, who had only signed to do an online promotional film, and who exercised a contractual right to remove The Follow from wide circulation promotional DVDs for personal reasons."

i like the end line that he sayed
unicornio azul!!
i love adriana limaa!
:D
did Mickey Rourke beat her up? Is that what's implied? That he let her go because she was bruised?
soundtrack??
BMW M5 najlepsze
did anyone knows wat is the song name?
4.12-5.29!!!!!!!
what is the of music played in this please
help!!!
Is the frame change in 4:42 significant at all???
What's the song's name?
good sh*t
2nd favorite director, only after Scorsese
Well made but it would have been nice if something would have happened in this thing.
I know this is really really old, but that's Wong Kar Wai's style. Go check out his movies from the 90s, they're amazing
Another reason to never buy into the hype of a car. I will never buy a BMW.
I lost her… Don’t ever call me again. 🫡
