FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
BenInCharge These two talented actors brought their A game to this movie. Not sure why this isn't a 10 star on IMDB - perhaps a lot really is lost in translation - but this film swept in the Golden Horse Awards in Hong Kong -- Best Film, Best Actor to Anita Yuen, etc. etc. This movie touched on so much -- the complexity of relationships, life in poverty, life as musicians, dreams gone astray, love and, most importantly, the appreciation of life.Min's note at the end to Kit always gets me -- and I've watched this at least 100 times:"If the most important thing in life is living, what challenge exists that cannot be overcome?"
vure999 I am writing this to raise awareness of this truly fabulous movie.This movie comes from the genre prior to the HK handover in 1997 and flies with a flock of very outstanding HK movies known for the quality of the acting, engaging plot and very strong chemistries between the actors.This movie, also known as Endless Love, is about a way to enjoy real life, find love in it and yet strive through all the struggles. It is about love, laughter, sadness, ups and downs all rolled into an enthralling story. It is a story unique to an Asian lifestyle so expect it to be quirky and humorous at times. In this movie, a broken hearted down and out songwriting artist moves to live in an apartment. Gradually a bond develops between himself and a young girl living downstairs. Until tragedy strikes again.
tvoice I don't want to give too much away. So I won't say much. But this is a wonderful film. The acting is amazing. The story is heartfelt. It's definitely worth seeing if you can find it. When I found some copies I bought a few just so I could give it away as presents.
future11 I like this movie a lot, so much that I am buying the DVD and I don't even have a dvd player!! Very beautiful movie. It's too bad I don't run across these type of movies more.
