WONG is the family name. I think this should be indicated. eysiz
I think that's a good idea.. this way we'd be able to use the Chinese order while still indicating the family name for western readers... eysiz.
Hope nobody minds my barging in on someone else's fine start and scribbling all over it. I just thought some more discussion of Wong's characteristics and themes as a filmmaker was needed, especially since there was a reference to Wong's "unique style" but no description of what that style might consist of.
A couple questions:
1) Wasn't ITMFL shot largely in Bangkok, not Macau? I know that at least a lot of it was shot in Bangkok.
2) And I'm pretty sure that Wong wasn't really "one of the first film-makers in Hong Kong to establish his own independent production company."Tsui Hark, for one, did it in 1984 with Film Workshop. I think Shaw Brothers star director Li Han Hsiang moved to Taiwan and set up his own company in the '60s, although it sank like a stone.

The first of these was supposed to be Summer in Beijing, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, butwe couldn't reach an agreement about filming in Beijing with the China Film Bureau and sowe had to give up. But the actors were still on-side, and I didn't want to let the project die.My first idea was to go ahead with Summer in Beijing - with 'Beijing' now being a restaurantin Macau.
"lead actress Maggie Cheung famously compared the lengthy shoot to a cold she couldn't get rid of"
this was ITML not Ashes of Time, right?
I've been told by a couple of chinese friends that his name should be pronounced WongGar Wee. Can anyone confirm/explain this? Thx

Added Chinese names next to the English names of some of the actors, actresses, and films mentioned in the article. This is for those who may be more familiar with those people's and films' Chinese names, and also to eliminate some ambiguity, because some actors and actresses have the same English names. For example, there are two "Tony Leung" and two "Maggie Cheung".Hong Qi Gong04:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
in the 2046 benind the scene picture, the guy in the middle is not William Cheung.btw, re: ITMFL, most scene was shot in Hong Kong - the apartment(in TST district), the hotel(an ex-hospital), the alley(now demolished, in off-Central district), the restaurant(in Causeway Bay district, same one as in 2046, now they have a "2046 set dinner for 2" on the menu, charging HK$204.6); certain street scenes and the newspaper office where tony leung works (also breifly reappeared in 2046) is in thailand, still there near chinatown.
I'm wondering whether "He often wears dark sunglasses" is really a suitable piece of information to go in the introductory paragraph. --Tyrant00719:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any sources of the fact, that Kar-wai was born onJulu 17, 1958? Yahoo! moviescontended that he was bornNovember 30, 1957 — fatal_exception ?!23:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, we can't use fair use images of a DVD to illustrate the director's article. That's not narrow enough to satisfyWP:FU. Thanks. --Butseriouslyfolks07:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current article freely mixes upper- and lower-case versions of the filmmaker's name: Wong Kar-Wai and Wong Kar-wai.
Do we have any consensus or definitive source for the Western version? We should make this consistent throughout the article.--GimmeChoco44 (talk)14:11, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The description currently reads: “[Wong] was keen to present the relationship as ordinary and universal, as he felt Hong Kong's previous LGBT films had not.” However, the initialism “LGBT” does not appear in the sourced interview. Rather, both Wong and the interviewer refer specifically to homosexuality in Hong Kong cinema. Wong also uses the phrase “gay film.” I will wait a few days before making the edit in order to give other editors who might object an opportunity to respond.Flyhurter (talk)07:20, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I propose that we stop listing Wong Kar-wai's "notable works" in the main infobox. The parameter is useful for people who have made one or two notable works in their life, but a top-tier director like Wong has nearly a dozen prominent, acclaimed films to his credit. You'll notice the infoboxes of the likes ofMartin Scorsese orSteven Spielberg don't feature such a laundry list of items. Further, they make the infobox too long, and prompttiresome questions of including this movie or excluding that one. Thus it's best to completely remove the list of films from the infobox; they're also covered in the lede anyway.—indopug (talk)11:24, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
