First the music. Then the low ceiling in the flat, with the poor electricity and makeshift furniture. He fastidiously files his nails. Then he dons his coat. Then the money, then the cards and cigarettes...
The music times perfectly to his fingers as he grabs the coins...
Fantastic mis-en-scene.

The introduction of Bai Ling. First the comical noise through the wall, and then the official introduction of her character as Connie Francis's Siboney starts to play. So magical...

Yuddie wanted to see his birth mother, but she wouldn't let him, and so he turned his back, walked down the road, and the music starts to play, the camera speed shifts, and it's so magical...
In his words:
"I finally arrived at my mother's house, but she didn't want to see me. The maids told me she no longer lived there.
As I was leaving, I could feel a pair of eyes watching me from behind,
but I was determined not to turn around. I just wanted to find out what she looked like. Since she wouldn't give me that chance, I wouldn't give it to her either."

Nothing like a Wong Kar-Wai movie.

Lulu starts remembering that night in the past, the camera starts a slow push in as she reflects, the piano starts to play, and then the camera pans right - we're now in the hotel room, and Mr. Chow adjusts her dress (the Cheongsam)...
