SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I read about this movie then kinda just forgot about eventually i decided to watch it and i got a whole mix of emotions. The start is like a usual love story but then there's huge plot twist and then you just start to question everything you just watched for an hour. The ending has a few loose ends so it's up to you to interpret what happened but all i can say is i cried a lot it's a change from all the usual love stories that there are. The music featured in the film is also a nice bonus too. I recommend you watch this is beautiful love story.

I just watched this movie last night for the first time, and I was expecting a decent foreign film, one that would be merely entertaining. What I got instead was likely the most interesting, attention-grabbing, thoughtful movies I have seen in some time. What I thought, originally, to be a decent plot, one that's been done over and over again, turned out to have me glued to the screen from the first scene. The characters weren't just believable, they were very easy to relate to and they were superbly acted out. What I also liked about the characters is that there is not necessarily any one with antagonist intentions. Every character is easy to relate to, which only compliments the characters of Jay and Rain. The music was riveting, really helped with the characterization. I never felt like the movie was moving too slow, or too fast, it just felt right and I lost myself in it. This is a prime example of what movies should be, something everyone can like. Maybe I'm just reacting from my initial shock at how good it was, but even if I am, I don't think I'll feel like I need to retract anything I've said here. This is just a really good movie, and I highly recommend it.

Unbelievably amazing! As the first movie of Jay, it's much beyond my expectation. I should say I contempt the action that once a music star gains his fame,he quickly transits to be an actor or even editor. But to Jay ,I have to admitted he won my respect. I am really longing for his next work.The story is begined with a romantic affection between two students in high school.The girl has a secret that is shown at the end of the story.The color of the movie is so good that I am sanked in it.I watched this film twice,and I completely understood the whole plot during the second time.The structure of the film is contrived carefully.The truth is so moving with the thrilling rhythm of the secret music.

I personally thought that the plot was rather exciting and intriguing. Jay Chou must definitely have put in much effort into making this movie. His first movie-making attempt is pretty much a success, I must say. He's even got very positive reviews and comments from award-winning directors from Asia.Although the plot needed some thinking to be able to understand it fully, I thought this show was pretty original- a far cry from many other love stories produced. This love story was genuine and not like many other cliché stories you can find in the movie market. The actors and actresses put up remarkable jobs too. I personally feel that Jay Chou has made a great improvement with regards to his once-stagnant facial expressions. His co-star Guey Lun-mei's acting did not fail to impress too- for a neophyte selected by Jay Chou himself, her acting was breezy and natural.The whole story is filled with love, passion for music and excellent piano pieces. My favorite parts were the piano battle, as well as the piano duet. I thought that Jay Chou's piano-playing was fabulous. He, indeed, lived up to his label as "musical genius".Overall the movie was great. I watched it twice, and both times I still cried and laughed the same as before. Although I'm merely fifteen and hence my mentalities may be a cry away from some readers and movie-watchers here, I think that this show is one that you should catch. You will not regret it! :)
