Do you remember Happy together by The Turtles?

"Imagine me and you I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
................."
The title of this Wong Kar-wai movie has been inspirated in this song.
It´s a very dated song ...and maybe love has changed, a little (?)... and songs love too.

It´s a hard movie as is always hard to speak about loneliness.
Movie Synopsis
Yiu-Fai and Po-Wing arrive in Argentina from Hong Kong and take to the road for a holiday. Something is wrong and their relationship goes adrift.

Happy together was released in 1997 and Wong Kar Wai won Best Director of Cannes Film Festival.

As Yiu-Fai said in the movie " Turns out that lonely people are all the same."

Ola Teresat! It looks like these girls had loads of fun! You know, even if they feel lonely they still have each other...and that makes a great difference. There's an old saying which says:"Birds of a feather, stick together" :)
Superb instant with a very fine image, and greatly composed. Meaningful and full of soul, as always!
A big embrace,
Diana

Ahh that song will be in my head all day now :)
A classic for sure, still brings back memories of friends and loved ones, from long in the past.
I really like this slice of life image Teresat.
You captured another of life's precious moments.
Wel done.

Hello Teresat,

Ola Teresat,
what a lovely scene. The composition is excellent. Very good illustration and contrast. You converted very beautiful idea here.
Best wishes.
Janusz

An interesting candid street shot. Looks as if they may have had a little too much to drink, maybe?

I like the off-center framing. And the black and white tones are nice. A well done candid.

My only caveat is I would have liked it a little tighter to the side of the frame, but still, well done.

That is such a GREAT song Teresat! LOVE this shot, very natural, looks like they are having a good laugh together! Very natural street shot! I'm not sure I like this color of sepia. I will take into WS and play around with it! Nice work!

I would say due to their body language & smiling faces,someone either told a very funny joke or like me at that age,which was a long time ago,they have had one wonderful celebration & are feeling no pain,great capture,"A single picture tells a thousand words" in this case very true.
Well captured Teresat.

Hi Teresat
very nice situation, may be just little drunk but great capture
wondeful effect of sepia
ciao
Lucio

hello Teresat
how are you friend?
very fine street shot
lovely POV and a happy moment captured
they seems very happy on something.
good choice of black and white which gives a mysterious feel to this shot.

regards
Manuj Mehta

Woah ... eyecatching capture! I'm guessing this was a random street shot and not something that you set up? Good action and a great story to be told with these three.

I have to say I personally don't find your note useful! I love the photograph but I really wish you would tell us something about the subject, where and why and how you got this ...? If I want to find out about the song I can Google it.

Just my opinion!

Hi Teresat,

You continue your non colour journey well Teresat. A well composed image and the conversion process has produced good tones while still retaining fine defintion. Well done,

Olá Teresat,

Magnifica captura, diria mesmo no momento certo.

Continua a brindar-nos com excelente fotografias do quotidiano cheias de beleza e emoção.

Boa escolha o sépia, apesar de ter tam bém gostado do WS feito pela shelbeesmom.

Mais uma vez muitos parabéns e aguardo ansioso pelas próximas.

Hi Teresat
That tune brings back a lot of wonderful memories, disco partying with friends till all hours, the mini skirt, etc etc.
Good shot of these gals who look like they might have been living it up a bit. Wonder what the center gal has in her left hand?
Dot

Hello Teresat,
They can have some fun in Dublin too , hopefully they got home safely and did not get an all day hangover afterwards ...lol. A sweet candid , IMO the use of sepia is aptly correct , B&W could be a good second choice , no colors though ,

Hi Teresat,
Nice action street scene, good timing. She doesn't seem to have too good a grip on that bottle, well seen and TFS.
Peter.

Oh dear, this makes me laugh and reminds me of my youthful days. The b&w rendition is striking and effective as there is good tone and contrast. And yes I do like this old song by the Turtles - it's in my iPod. Have a good weekend Teresa.

Ola dear Teresat.
They sure looks happy together, but later comes the the headache, right ?
Love and happyness, are mostly not for lifetime.
Very well captured snapshot. Good work, Teresat.
Have a lovely weekend.
Besat wishes from Jan

ciao Teresa..
song is dated and famous at the same time.. i think it's always cool.. an ever green.. ;)
i didnt seen the movie of wong kar wai.. as usual for me.. ;)) maybe it's not my taste.. the new chinese cinema..
however i think your shot is full of something special.. it's an image with a sense of fun.. of friendship..
i think, to be togheter not always means to be happy.. all we are universes.. and difficult to compenetrate eachother!! the plot and the end of the kar wai movie make me think to the end of love.. maybe some loves not begin.. they are only an illusion!.. to compenetrate.. to melt eachother.. is always an hard think!! it's not enought to stay.. to dream.. to be happy togheter!! at the end.. the bill.. in certain love stories.. is pricey indeed! ;))
i really like the truly feelings of your capture.. the laughs.. the embraces.. the walk togheter..
wonderful idea.. and wonderful capture!! thanks
ciao Marco

Olá Teresat,

Esta foto tem uma parte engraçada, mas ao mesmo tempo, citando a tua nota 'Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together', acho que enquadraste tudo muito bem aqui.

Parabéns,

abraço. Marco

Ola Teresat

E como me lembro, eu adoro esta musica
eu vejo que voce tambem tem muito bom gosto tanto
nas fotografias como nas musicas. Belíssima fotos
jornalisticas e de muito bem compostas!
Uma cena bonita e engraçada, pelo visto já é de manha e foram
flagradas saindo dos pub!
Parabens!

Don't know why, this makes me think to James Joyce "Dubliners"...

Lovely and best memories of my live..

Great street shot!

Hello Teresat,

this is really a good capture, and well composed too. I do like the spontaneity of the girls... but probably they were drunk! (:-
(I do remember the song well, but you are too yang to remeber it!)
