The Best Part 4: Shu Qi smoking a cigarette in Three Times
Many things are the worst. This is my attempt to find the things that are the best.
aka I need to stop obsessing over this woman.
The scene below is the best scene of some chick smoking sadly in a film.
Things you do in life are only beautiful for a short period of time. To lie on your bed listening to Ryan Adams’ Heartbreaker, staring at the ceiling, taking a moment to breathe before another wave of heartbreak comes back at you again, well that’s perfect when you’re 16 and not so much when you’re 35.
At the same time, sitting outside your suburban porch at noon on a weekend afternoon watching the children frolic and play in the sun is wonderful when you’re 40, but somehow depressing when you’re 25.
So I know that smoking will kill you and that’s a nasty, terrible habit. But when you’re young and beautiful and in your early 20s with lost eyes that try to cover up the sadness with cynicism - like Shu Qi is here - there’s nothing more beautiful than having a cigarette in the dim light of the evening, watching the smoke billow in the air.
For your pleasure:
