I didn't thought it would be nice also... Especially when often these 'lovely dovy' movies are often not my cup of tea...? I THOUGH.. LOVE MOVIES just for the sake of LOVE are JUST TOO ARTIFICIAL....
But STILL... I WATCHED it ANYWAY... LAST NIGHT... Perhaps it's just because I've got this 'WEIRD TASTE' for 'OVERLY ARTISTIC MOVIES'... Something which perhaps can give me a DIFFERENT TASTE on my TASTE BUD...
STREET LIGHTS... 'NEW YORK, NEW YORK'... A COMMERCIALISED ATTEMPT for the GROWING LOVE for 'ARTISTIC MOVIES'
PERHAPS...?
NOT QUITE...
This movie TALKS MAINLY about 'LOVE'... Somehow reminds me of this another movie 'Simply Love'..? YET, while it TALKS ABOUT 'LOVE'.. It DOESN'T just simply 'BURN' and 'GRILL' it to ITS MAX... ONLY appropriately touched.. And SIMPLY BROUGHT OUT...
Somehow I found it VERY TOUCHING from scenes to scenes within the MOVIE.. And it's REALLY UNCOMMON and RARE for this Devil to be 'TOUCHED'... And somehow I'm just not quite sure if it's the MOVIE ITSELF... Or is it JUST ME...? Of some of the similarity it holds in my life....
Of RELATIONSHIPS... SO SIMPLE and yet SO PURE AT TIMES.. But human's HEARTS and SOCIAL NEEDS to COMPLICATES IT... Of QUESTIONS like asking yourself "What you really want...?" And YET just when your heart SO MUCH DESIRES IT, at the same time it just BURNS ANOTHER HOLE IN YOUR LIFE...
Of all the 'misunderstandings'... DELIBERATE (and non-deliberate) MOVES to HURT.. But YET REGRET...
All in all, I think the show is a 'GREAT FIT' for Jacky Cheung who has just got the CHANCE to SHOW
BOTH his SINGING and ACTING TALENT in this picture...
Takeshi Kaneshiro who has always been my 'soft spot' for love movies...
And Zhou Xun... For reminding me of someone.....
