They often find themselves alone, engaging in daily routines like eating and sleeping, but their solitude becomes a canvas for a deeper connection they cannot fully express. Wong Kar-Wai (the director) making Chow whispering into a hole rather than speaking to the audience signified a stylistic choice that symbolizes the burden of carrying unspoken emotions and secrets within oneself. It leaves the audience to contemplate the weight of repressed desires and the silent turmoil of unfulfilled love, resonating long after the film concludes.
