You like expired cans? Help yourself! As many as you like! On the house!Ģ23 Somehow everything comes with an expiry date. Who cares about how the cans feel? What about how I feel? Loading, more loading, unloading… How I wish cans wouldn’t expire! It’d save me loads of work. You realize what goes into a can of pineapple? The fruit must be grown, harvested, sliced, and you just throw it away! How do you think the can feels about that?Ĭashier Buddy, I only work here.
Get a fresh one.Ģ23 People like you are hung up on freshness. You think we sell outdated stock?Ĭashier Nobody would buy it. Any canned pineapple that expires on May 1?Ĭashier Right. He goes to a store nearby on April 30th to collect the last pineapple can that will expire next day… The conversation goes like this…Ģ23 goes shopping. Harish: True, Especially about the first Cop 223, who has broken up on April 1st and decides to wait for a month more by collecting PineApple Cans which will expire on May 1st because his girlfriend ‘May’ likes canned pineapples and if she doesn’t turn back with in a month, as much as the can expires, his love shall also expire. If May hasn’t changed her mind by the time I’ve bought thirty cans, then our love will also expire. May loves pineapple, and May 1 is my birthday. Every day I buy a can of pineapple with a sell-by date of May 1. So I decided to let the joke run for a month. Brings out the character in just few lines…Ģ23 We split up on April Fool’s Day. What is most astounding is the dialogues in this film. To me, this film is a pure documentation of lives crisscrossing each other. It is about two cops, getting into a relationship, undergo the pain of separation, Wait, Contemplate, Wait some more time and move on. Karthick: It is not just being with out scripts, but this film speaks volumes about love and life. Harish: True, at times, Movies with limited or no scripts fare better than those with bound scripts. So, he wanted to take a real quick break, make a jumpy funky little film following his instincts and that’s how we got this masterpiece called Chungking express. Shekar: To put it in context, Wong-Kar-wai was working on Wuxia film, The Ashes of Time and he was caught in the cob-web of editing an epic film.
Chungking express imdb movie#
Doesn’t look like a movie taken in haste though it was indeed taken in a short time span as a break from the serious epic film “The Ashes of Time”… There is such subtlety and finesse in this movie. Karthick: Absolutely, I badly wanted to discuss this movie. Shekar: Yep! Are you fine with discussing a movie? Chungking express is a classic! I guess both of the dialogues you said are said by the hotel owner to cop 223 right? Harish and Shekar stare at each other wondering what has come over Karthick.
