The story of angels and fallen angels in Fallen Angel.

"The story that happened between two short stories between “Assassin who hasn't seen each other in 3 years” and “A girl who is betrayed by a mute guy”. Even though the relationship seems broad, the reality is that it takes place in a small town like Hong Kong. These two couples often meet each other in back-and-forth ways and meet in incredibly different places, whether it be hiding, absent-mindedness, lust, or loneliness. It is well conveyed through the cinematography of 'Christopher Dodd', the skilled cinematographer of Wong Ka Wai, it can be said."

Naturally, I can't ignore the work of Wong Kar-wai, the well-known Hong Kong filmmaker. Everyone in the 1990s is already familiar with his name. The cigarette smoke in the film is as irritating as the PM 2.5 dust smoke. Comparing that to the present, it is likely no different than waiting for someone to show interest in an online dating app and chatting with them despite never having seen their face. Because conversing under a fictitious identity can occasionally be more enlightening than meeting someone in person or someone near to us that we don't anticipate, leading to a relationship that goes beyond friendship.

Although the relationship between the two short stories, "The Assassin Who Didn't See Each Other in Three Years" and "The Girl Who Was Betrayed and the Mute Guy," appears to be vast, it took place in a tiny city like Hong Kong. These two couples frequently cross paths in improbable ways and in disparate locations, whether it be through hiding, being distracted, having sex, or loneliness, all of which are effectively shown by "Christopher Doyle," Wong Kar-wai's skilled cinematographer.

In particular, the composition of the wide lens on 35mm film is so expansive that, although it appears large, it is brimming with an inexplicable sensation of emptiness and loneliness. At the very least, I think this narrative has the nicest finish. I have to say that this narrative is excellent, whether it is because of the lighting, camera angles, language, or the way it connects the two sides and gives us something to ponder.

Regarding the trend I can't help but bring up, it was the classic look that was popular before Y2K took the nation by storm. To seem beautiful and seductive, a leather dress was worn with fishnet stockings. Her eyes are hidden by a bang to convey mystery, but her form-fitting leather ensemble also conveys openness or disregard for other people's sentiments. She displays transparency, prudence, and attention to detail in her self-care by holding a plastic clip and exposing her forehead even when cleaning.

The main killer will seem sophisticated by dressing in a jacket, a basic T-shirt, and cropped trousers. Wearing silver chains and other ornaments, however, is not solely a symbol of coolness. Being attached to something has an additional meaning. Of course, always wearing glasses is a mission. In addition, the partner of the killer's one-night stand, makes it appear very sassy, yet her presence is brief. However, the scent of her skin that our angel killer recalls causes her heart to throb like wings that momentarily cease soaring.

In this regard, the figure appears free-spirited yet innocent in another pair, particularly the silent guy, who is dressed simply in jeans and a T-shirt with his hair parted in the center. And a young boy masquerading as an adult. Regarding the deceived girl, her hair remains prominent and fluffy, signifying both confusion and liberation.

People frequently reminisce about stories in the past or journey back in time to different locations when cutting back to the present. Teenagers have returned to wearing Y2K, Grunge, and retro 90s styles at a lower cost due to the influence of movies and fashion. This is evident in accessories like belts, shoes, glasses and colour schemes that enable us to combine modern technology to print various fabric patterns more freely with stylishly posing with compact film cameras and using gorgeous, fabulous filters along with catchy captions, reflecting the fashion trend that never goes out of style.

It was the kind of love that people in the 1990s talked about so well, whether it was working together for three years without seeing each other, having to meet up to say goodbye, or looking for someone who had cheated on me while the other person mistakenly had love blossoming, which led me to let him go and find someone better. Despite the brief duration and the different attachments, it helped us to vividly recall that

"There should be no love involved because we are partners."

Otherwise, we may feel shaken if we were close.

The sound of the tunnel leaving Ratchada had long faded, but these words were still surrounding in my head when the raindrops rained down on my automobile, making it impossible to continue. I could not ignore the loneliness in my heart and could only watch the rain briefly fall, like a broken window on Bangkok's little, winding metropolis.
