Two main concepts discussed in the article are place and space. Different interactions of human beings with place produce different spaces, and basically, most spaces are produced in the itinerary. I have one deep impression of the scene in Chungking Express that the main heroine passed the one she loves on an electronic escalator in opposite direction. She turned her head back and stare at the man who even didn’t notice her presence. This scene really impacts me due to the deep love of the main heroine and the huge crevice lie between them. Now I could see how place and space function in this circumstance. The electronic escalator, which is simply an infrastructure and plays no important role in our daily lives, interacts with distinct human activities in the movie to produce such strong impacts and such different spaces. That’s something captured by the director in our itinerary, but he makes it different by applying his own ideas to it.

Enjoyed how you analyze your example deeply. Why did the director purposefully select this space? Its characteristics have also facilitated him to tell his story perhaps?
