WONG KAR WAI'S HAPPY TOGETHER [BEHIND-THE-SCENES] BY WING SHYA

YOU SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP.
I'M LISTENING TO THOSE GUYS TALKING.
FROM THIS FAR AWAY?
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING BUT THEY'RE GOING TO FIGHT.
YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD HEARING!
I HAD EYE PROBLEMS WHEN I WAS LITTLE. I COULDN'T SEE WELL, SO I LISTENED.
MY SIGHT WAS CORRECTED BUT I NEVER LOST THE HABIT OF LISTENING.
SOMETIMES I THINK EARS ARE MORE IMPORTANT. YOU 'SEE' BETTER WITH YOUR EARS.
YOU CAN PRETEND TO LOOK HAPPY BUT YOUR VOICE REVEALS THE TRUTH.
YOU CAN 'SEE' EVERYTHING BY LISTENING.
REALLY?
YOUR VOICE SHOWS YOU'RE NOT HAPPY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING NEXT?
I'M GOING SOUTH TO USHUAIA.
