After probably rewatching Three Times 16 times already, I think what I love most about it is how you need to really pay attention to catch the small details.
So in the first segment, ‘A Time For Love’, Chang Chen’s character (Chen) returns to the pool hall he frequents, but the pool hall girl he had a crush on no longer works there. Instead, there’s a new girl, May (Shu Qi):
He’s disappointed and a bit bummed at first..but well.
He asks the new girl for her name. I love how after she answers him, she shyly tucks in her hair.
They play pool together till late at night
He leaves for army service, but promises to write
He comes back on leave from army, but May no longer works at the pool hall. After much effort, he finally manages to track her down
I love how she basically can’t help collapsing into a fit of giggles that he’s come all the way here to see her.
And they continue flashing dopey smiles at each other
