Review of Chungking Express

The first 1/3 of the movie did absolutely nothing for me. Nothing at all. In fact, I was about to turn off the video when the very weird romance (?) story began concerning the cop who had been in a relationship with the stewardess. It somehow kept me interested and so I continued watching. The sheer bizarreness of the lady in the restaurant kept me watching. In fact, I laughed at quite a few of the STRANGE things she did--so much that my wife and daughter came over to watch as well. They asked me what I was watching and I honestly told them I didn't know! In the beginning, this lady spent all her time dancing to the same song again and again (and frankly, I was starting to get sick of the song California DREAMIN' as a result). Then, she became fascinated with the cop (why, we don't really know). So fascinated that she broke into his home. At first, she didn't do much. But, later, she began rearranging the house and even adding fish to his aquarium! It just kept getting weirder and weirder and it was strange seeing a lady who was less a stalker and more a lady who pleasured from living secretly in the cop's apartment while he was working! Instead of telling you more, I recommend you see it for yourself but feel free to SKIP the first 1/3 of the movie. I didn't find the first 1/3 interesting at all, but the last portion was captivating.
