"Born wearing a pair of sunglasses", internationally renowned director Wong Kar Wai rarely has been without his sunglasses. Yesterday this Grand Master of directing tried on glasses at an optical store. Actually Wong Kar Wai was as selective with his glasses as with his movies. He even showed his eyes while his wife became the "female Wong Kar Wai" and put on sunglasses.

Whether you like Wong Kar Wai's movies or not, everyone know that "Wong Kar Wai" and sunglasses were almost inseparable "conjoint twins". Earlier Eric Tsang Chi Wai described Wong Kar Wai as "born wearing sunglasses" when Wong presented the Professional Spirit Awards at the Hong Kong Film Award. However, the Big Director also had moments when he was without his "beloved".

Yesterday Wong Kar Wai went to pick out a pair of glasses at a Causeway Bay optical store. After over a hour of choosing he finally left the store with his wife. If not for his height, he almost could not be recognized as Big Director Wong without his sunglasses. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wong put on sunglasses like a female version Wong Kar Wai.
