Perhaps......Love?

As i said from yesterday, i want to talk something about the movie, Perhaps Love.

I've waited for a month to watch this movie, so when i finally watched it, it was something not quite what i've expected.



I've read some reviews of the movie, some short descriptions as well. So beforehand, i was imagining this movie as quite a sad movie, but since it's musical, it's not going to be those Korean-style-crying-all-the-way kind of movie. I expected it to be simple love story with broadway musical style.

Well, what's out of my expectation was, the love story part is not simple. In fact i find it complicated. Seriously complicated.

As you can see, Takeshi Kaneshiro plays a poor film student who fell in love with a poor girl (played by Zhou Xun). This girl is very ambitious into becoming a star, someone famous in the entertainment industry. So, she left the relationship to pursue her dream. The complicated part about this was, she don't mind trading her body to reach what she wants. The easiest way to become a famous actress is to be with a director.

He felt betrayed. He felt that she cheated his love. But he never forgets her. He became an actor himself eventually, and acted in the same movie as the girl. Although he loves her, he also hated her greatly. Like they say, the more you love, the more you will hate.

It's really really sad. It's still not those Korean-style-crying-all-the-way kind of movie, but it's very heartaching kind of sad. See, my vocabulary is so limited that i cannot express how that sad feeling feels like.

The sad part is when Takeshi loved the girl so much that he cannot forget her, but he know he couldn't have her. Then love becomes hate. Takeshi was very good in portraying the love & hate emotion on screen. You can really feel it in the movie.

Of course, Jacky Cheung wasn't the leading actor in this movie. He played a director who was also in love with the girl played by Zhou Xun. Well, his acting part wasn't something really impressive at all, but still, when he started to sing in the movie, he's the main character. His voice is so powerful, so clear, that the song he sang sounded so good. From Snow.Wolf.Lake to Perhaps Love, i think Jacky Cheung is in love with musical.

Overall, i find this movie very nice to watch. However, from my opinions, if you are in the following categories, i advice you not to go watch this movie. Else you will come out the cinema scolding bad words or spitting onto the movie banner or cursing Peter Chan's mother.

Don't watch this movie if you:

- don't like sad stories or musical
- dont like love stories
- don't like Takeshi Kaneshiro
- don't like Jacky Cheung
- don't like cinema
- don't have emotions
- don't have a girl/guy companion to watch with you
- are sleepy
- are not healthy
- just came back from clubbing
- just finish quarrelling with your girlfriend/boyfriend
- are a ass-hole trouble-maker

Well, you don't have to take my advice seriously, though. Since the movie is already up for soooooooooooooooo long, i think most of you guys have already watched it anyway. Well, this is what i want to talk about for this movie. I may have left out a lot of things in the movie that i didn't mention about, so i apologize for that.

It's already 7.40pm and it's time to go DSG Potluck. Again it's the end of another semester here in MMU. Until tomorrow night for another post, i shall make a move for now. Adios...!!
