~Secret~ “Follow the notes upon the journey At first sight marks one's destiny Once the voyage comes to an end Return lies within hasty keys”
Secret, aka The Secret That Cannot Be Told, is a Taiwanese romance film released in 2007. It is the first movie directed by Taiwanese musician Jay Chou, he also stars in it.
I downloaded this movie about half a year ago, and i can't believe i just watched it now. I should have watched this sooner! agh!
Another boy meets girl flick. Only this time the boy is a music student who happens to be a piano genius, and so is the girl... and the girl is reallllyyyy mysterious.. and... hmm.. okay, it's not just one of those ordinary boy meets girl movies.This has some added elements which makes it very new to me.
First it starts as your usual very simple romantic story. Then things get interesting because of the girl's "mysteriousness" (is that a word?). and then stuff happens, and near the end i got scared (yeah, i got scared in a romantic flick, you'll know what i mean)... pardon this very vague summary, because if i elaborate too much it will spoil the movie.. Anyway, it's a movie about finding thee one you are destined with and breaking the barriers that sets you apart.
I gotta hand it to Jay Chou, it's hard to believe that it's his first time directing a movie. This movie was good.. in fact it's too good. The music in the movie was Excellent (from original songs to scores from piano genius Chapin). Don't miss the very awesome piano duel! The sceneries and color theme was just right for the movie. Although i don't watch chinese movies much, this is gotta be one of my favorite. Just watch it guys, and you'll know why it's one of my faves.
This movie got me wondering about who'll be my destiny.... :D
