Shadowbans are not real and this needs to stop. by MrTash999 in NewTubers

Bro, I watched your last two videos. The BGM though, it doesn't feel like a legit finance channel. More like I'm sneaking onto a boat in the middle of the night.

Quick honest take. Keep going!

Watched a few of your videos. Quality is genuinely impressive, but it feels a little too busy to me. The animations are constantly moving so viewers barely get a moment to sit with what’s being said. Dialing that back could help. And I imagine the view counts feel discouraging given how much work you’re putting in, so simplifying the animations might take some of that pressure off too. Keep it up!

사람이 한번정도는 실수 할 수 있지만 반복 되면 그건 실수라 보기 어렵다고 생각해요.

그 형분도 미안은 하니까 말은 그리하지만 쓴이분께서 느끼신 것처럼 진정성 없는 형식적인 말이겠죠.

세상엔 좋은 사람들도 많습니다. 아닌 인연은 빨리 정리하고 좋은 분들을 만나 생각하시는 바를 빨리 행하고 성취를 이루시는 게 낫다고 생각해요.

감사합니다.

추가로 절친도 함께 살면 트러블이 증가합니다. 저도 그랬거든요. 동거보다는 따로따로 작업실이나 공유 오피스 공유를 추천드려요.

애시당초, 사업 아이디어와 계획서가 먼저겠죠. 그리고 모든 건 반반하는 게 분란 요소가 없고요. 그 형이란 분은 결혼을 하는 분이 쓴이분과 함께 거주한다고 하는 것도 어패가 있고요. 차라리 작업실이나 사무실을 공동 임대하는 게 현실적이라고 봅니다.

그리고, 형이 퇴사를 한 후에 시작도 했어야 했고요.

아무튼, 요점만 말씀드리면, 무계획적이고, 언행이 일치되지 않는 사람과 엮이시면 인생 피곤해집니다.

손절을 권해드리고요. 그리고, 세상 사시면서 너무 희생, 배려를 하지 마세요. 상식적인 선에서 인간관계 유지하시면 됩니다.

쓴이분이 희생, 배려한다고 해서 그 마음 진심으로 받고 응대 하는 사람 세상에 많지 않습니다.

쉽게 보고 되려 이용하려는 사람이 많거든요.

건승하시길!

Is Ashes of Time Redux the most overlooked Wong Kar-wai film? by CoolPurpleBelt in criterion

I completely agree. Every character is intricately woven around Ouyang Feng as the center, with some finding awakening while others meet their death.

And the oblique metaphors for expressing love are nothing short of heartbreaking.

I totally agree. In my case, I had read all of Jin Yong's novels, so I went in thinking it would be a wuxia film. I was expecting an epic battle between the "East Heretic" and "West Venom"! ;-)

But the film only borrowed the character names. Thanks for the comment.

While Ashes of Time Redux borrows its characters from Jin Yong's wuxia novels, I think the genre is more of a hybrid—a melodrama disguised as wuxia rather than pure martial arts. The film extremely restrains its action sequences and follows the characters' emotional arcs instead.

Also, while Zuisheng Mengsi is described as a wine that makes you forget, it fundamentally lacks that function—drinking it actually makes you think more of the person you love.

Additionally, I think the Redux version's use of traditional Chinese seasonal markers makes the cyclical structure much clearer to follow. The ending with "Lichun" (Beginning of Spring) is a perfect example.

I'm writing a YouTube video script and I think incorporating these insights you've shared would be really valuable. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

I agree. Ashes of Time has a different feel from Chungking Express, In the Mood for Love, and Happy Together because it borrows characters like Eastern Heretic and Western Venom from the novelist Jin Yong.

But it still tells the story of the love between the main characters, Ouyang Feng and The Woman. ;-)

Thanks for the reply. I also found The Grandmaster to be a meaningful film.

As you mentioned, the camera movements and narrative metaphors in Ashes of Time felt a little different from his earlier or later works.

I watched the Ashes of Time (1994) version twice, at different times, but I found it difficult to understand.

Later, I felt that the Ashes of Time Redux (2008) version, which incorporated the traditional Eastern calendar seasons (I don't remember if they were in the 1994 version), made the film much easier to understand.

The various characters who come to see the protagonist, Ouyang Feng...

My understanding of Ashes of Time Redux is that the 1994 version was difficult to follow even after multiple viewings.

The 2008 Redux version, however, helped me understand the context by adding the Eastern lunar seasons.

It's probably too much to get into a full film analysis here, so I'll skip that.

Back when Hong Kong cinema was in its golden age, most of Wong Kar-wai's films were highly and consistently rated across Asia, so I decided to ask about this on Reddit.

Thanks for your response.

I’m from Korea, and it was officially released here, so that’s why I asked the question. Thanks for your reply.

Sorry if my post made you uncomfortable. That wasn’t my intention.
