	Reviews and Reflections: Happy Together (Cheun Gwong Tsa Sit), directed by Kar-wai Wong, with Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung ...
		Happy Together concerns their relationship and their need to settle up with their parents and with Hong Kong and to find some future.
		Happy Together shows such disconnected snatches, but they are embedded in a sequence that has no narrative momentum.
		However, here they are done together and with such excellence that the result is a film that has the feeling of creating a new style, a new kind of poetry.

	Salon \| "Happy Together"
		"Happy Together" is more closely related to the morose and mannered style of other Wong pictures like "As Tears Go By." It may be that the joie de vivre of "Chungking Express" was a fluke.
		That picture was shot in a few weeks during a break in the filming of Wong's avant-martial-arts epic "Ashes of Time," and perhaps that tight shooting schedule gave him a chance to be looser, off-the-cuff.
		Unfortunately, "Happy Together" has been given a dark-hued tone that's heavy-spirited, almost morbid, instead of voluptuous.

	HAPPY TOGETHER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Now, "Happy Together" is not about a man and his father, it is about a gay couple trying to reconcile and "start all over again" in Buenos Aires.
		There are a lot of critics out there who claim "Happy Together" is about the Hong Kong 1997 issue, which is really another way of saying, "I am an intellectual and I see things that are not there." Fuck that kind of bullshit.
		"Happy Together" is not, as the title seems to suggest, about two men who are happy with each other.

	Happy Together . Weekly Alibi . 04-27-98
		Happy Together is one film that inspires such thoughts.
		Wong is one of the most prolific and well known of the Hong Kong auteurs (his résumé includes Chungking Express and Days of Being Wild), and Happy Together is a strong testament to his technical skills as a filmmaker.
		Happy Together is at its heart an experimental film--there are no subplots, no backstories, merely what we see on the screen, and that is all viewers are given to make sense of the film.

	Happy Together (1997)
		Happy Together is an exercise in emotional estrangement—from one’s lover, one’s homeland, and oneself.
		Somehow they find themselves back together, and the slow burn of their disintegrating love provides more exploration into the lives of lost, lonely souls that is Wong Kar-Wai’s never-ending obsession.
		Happy Together is simply a journey, and an affecting one.

	MovieMartyr.com - Lan Yu / Happy Together
		In Happy Together, the visuals made the film come alive, and made concrete the dislocation that the main characters felt from their surroundings and each other.
		Lan Yu is also much more talky than Happy Together, so instead of visual poetry, we get lame-brained dialogue, such as the scene in which one sullen character explains his failed attempt to try to photograph a rainbow.
		In Happy Together, the characters seem to have full knowledge that their relationship is ultimately doomed, but they continue onward nonetheless, giving the film a quixotic feel that it can’t shake as its lovers tango back and forth during their Argentinean escapade.

	Happy Together
		Happy Together is a riot and a feast of pure cinema, a sprint through the lands of photography, editing and silvered celluloid.
		In this way Happy Together works on two separate channels; the cast act and interact on one level, the film itself transmits on another.
		Central to Happy Together is the way in which Kar-wai fractures scenes, rarely presenting the whole story.

	Happy Together
		Two unverified recordings by Perry out of New York including "Happy Together" and a New York version of "That's What This Old World Needs" which was recorded two months later in Nashville and released two years later within Perry's 1969 compilation "Seattle".
		Also recorded on this same date was a remake of "Happiness Comes, Happiness Goes", recorded earlier in 1965, and this song, too, was held over for the 1969 compilation.
		It has not been confirmed whether "Happy Together" was actually recorded by Perry but the song turned out to be a No. 1 Gold Record for "The Turtles" in 1967 and was revived ten years later by the Canadian a cappella quartet "The Nylons".

	Eye Weekly - Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together - 1 - 12.04.97
		If Happy Together is not as jaw-droppingly stylish as Fallen Angels nor as unconventional in its narrative as Days of Being Wild, it is the most passionate of Wong's films.
		What inspired Wong to come to Argentina to film Happy Together was not necessarily a quest for a more exotic setting than a Kowloon subway station, but the literature of Gabriel García Márquez and Manuel Puig.
		In Happy Together, there is much that is unexpected, like how Taiwanese actor Zhang Zhen's character affects the story -- he brings with him an unsentimental optimism, the feeling that all of the trauma we've just witnessed may in fact have no bearing on future events.

	Notes on Watching Happy Together (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It is hard to imagine how they got what they got out of Happy Together with that looseness, but as with Tsui Hark and his work, there is great method to this madness, and somehow something brilliant comes out of it.
		It's not a fun happy film, but I wouldn't make that claim of Rules of the Game or The Passion of Joan of Ark, though Happy Together is involving and entertaining, it is not a happy film.
		Though the title suggests the sledgehammer subtleties of Todd Solondz's melodramatic Happiness (get it, no one's happy), it's a little more intricate a reference to how they try and be happy together, but since they are so alienated from each other in their individualism, they cannot bend to make the other person happy.

	Happy Together Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		"Happy Together" is a straightforward narrative with the existential philosophy and the stylish-camera work toned-down, which made it an average Wong Kar-Wai film.
		The exhilaration of watching his films comes from fitting together the pieces of a 90-minute intellectual puzzle, and subsequent viewings generally revealed new interpretations and nuances.
		Though the film had a few moments of brilliance, the combination of leisurely pacing without the trademark eye- and brain-candy made it difficult to sit through-- there was just not enough mystery and mysticism to make it one of his better films.

	Wong Kar-wai : Happy Together
		A movie released in the year of the Handover, Happy Together unfolds on the other side of the globe from Hong Kong and is informed by such gravity.
		A story of failed tourism, Happy Together presents the idea of home as both haunting and long- gone.
		It is also a visual feast, with Christopher Doyle's ever dazzling and unmooring variety of film stocks and shooting speeds persisting as a jazzy and stimulating visual accompaniment to another tale of Wongean ache.

	ARF: Notes and Comments: FILLMORE EAST, JUNE 1971: Happy Together (Bonner and Gordon)
		I was listening to AM radio in the late 1960s, and I can verify that "Happy Together" (1967), "She'd Rather Be With Me" (1967), "Elenore" (1968), and "You Showed Me" (1969) were bona fide hits for the Turtles.
		"Happy Together", "She'd Rather Be With Me", and several other songs recorded by the Turtles were written by Gary Bonner and Alan Gordon, both formerly in a band called the Magicians.
		"Happy Together" was released in February, 1967, so I don't imagine it was high on the charts anymore in 1970.

	Happy Together . Newcity Chicago . 01-26-98
		In "Happy Together," Wong Kar-Wai's story of two Hong Kong gay men who drift to Argentina to try to start a new life, Wong uses Iguazu as a potent symbol of the romantic disaffection of Ho (Leslie Cheung) and Lai (Tony Leung) and how their lives never fit together.
		Yet when the strains of "Happy Together" finally hit screen at the very end, the effect is deliriously good.
		While "Happy Together" isn't the easiest movie to watch, its images and mood stay with you, lingering like the stink of smoke in a sweater or the face you put to the last heartbreak.

		Happy Together tells the story of Lai Yiu Fai and Ho Po Wing's on again and off again relationship.
		One of the things that I like the most about Happy Together is that while the lead couple is homosexual little is made of this.
		With no flashback to point to a happier time or a hint of a positive indication as to why they are together, Wong comes up short in inflaming any sparks that could still be struck between lovers who argue constantly.

	Cheung Gwong Tsa Sit (Happy Together)
		While Happy Together still respects that formula, this is the most "linear" of Kar-Wai's films to date, it delves into one of Hong Kong's "hot" genres, the gay movie, but in a way that totally redefines the genre: there are no cliches here.
		The only time Lai and Ho really felt happy together like the title suggest is when Ho was suffering after being beat up, and couldn't continue to berate Lai with his egoism and annoying presence.
		We don't need any background on their past, how they got together, their characters, because everything is supplied by the images.

		What sets David apart from many of us, that he knows film and the language of film so well that he can support his emotional discoveries by discussing the director's technique and how he got there.
		Happy Together, I think, speaks to the power of hope, and that sometimes hope is enough.
		In terms of camerawork, of performances, of threading numerous stories in and out to create a personal piece of art that at the same time comments on society in general, it's not altogether embarrassing to set it next to Renoir's Rules of the Game--that's a high compliment, in my book.

	Happy Together
		In writing on Happy Together we must first speak of two films: the 97-minute version, released theatrically in 1997, and a second one, roughly three hours long and never publicly screened.
		Even the decision to shoot the film in both fl and white and color reinforces this sense of indeterminacy: the fl and white images are never purely fl and white but are always haunted by color, while the color itself is often partial or washed out.
		The characters in Happy Together eat bad food, get drunk, dance, become sick, yell at one another and have sexual encounters marked by passion, violence and, later, anonymity.

	dOc DVD Review: Happy Together (Cheun gwong tsa sit) (1997)
		In Happy Together, his usual examination of the intricacies of heterosexual love is replaced by a look at the highs and lows of a gay couple, trying to find peace of mind among the spires of the other city that never sleeps: Buenos Aires, Argentina.
		However, where In the Mood for Love took seemingly disconnected vignettes and intertwined them into a story of complex longing, Happy Together's bits amount to little more than a dark travelogue of love and loss.
		We may be willing to endure to abusive settings for the mere possibility of happiness, but we must accept the consequences.

		Personally, I had hoped (and have high hopes) for Diane Sykes, who continues to do sterling work on the Seventh Circuit; my first preference to replace O'Connor was Alito from the day she stepped down, and I was thus not happy with the choice of Roberts.
		I'm ready to eat crow at this point and admit that I did not adequately appreciate at the time that while I still wouldn't have picked Roberts to replace O'Connor, he is a superb choice for the Chief Justiceship.
		Even though it was just advocating for a client, being a lawyer on the other side (from the administration) of the affirmative action lawsuits probably didn't score any brownie points for Mahoney.
