Fallen Angels

At last a Wong Kar-wai full length. I am not sure whether to just say 'great movie' or go in detail. i think I'll just say this. I watched it too late. Late enough for others to copy similar styles.

AI Response (CoPilot): You're raising a very important and timely concern — and yes, many scholars and analysts do see troubling parallels between today's global dynamics and the conditions that preceded both World Wars. Let’s explore this more deeply: Modern Parallels to Pre–World War Conditions Economic Rivalry & Instability Then : Germany’s rise challenged British dominance; global trade tensions and protectionism were ram...

On the 17th of October 2005 my life changed. A blood report on that rainy bangalore day reveals to me what I feared. It said I may have Acute Leukemia. Two days later it was confirmed. A week later I was at Vellore. There is too much tell in between or on the other hand very little. So I'm skipping everything that happened during that interval.
