alpousno Best movie so far i have ever seen.so much excitement and so much romance. just wow in a word

Pazu Kong The acting of both Jay Chou and Lunmei Kwai were naturally conceived and considering this is the first movie directed by Jay Chou, a talented singer and songwriter, I must say this is not a bad movie.The angles of shooting were also thoughtful, making it quite a pleasant viewing experience.But the plot was full of strange twists and the sense of sadness was created too deliberately, somehow not quite seamlessly fitted in the movie.Call me picky and I'm sure this was not Contact and Jay not Carl Sagan, but I still felt somehow bewildered by the storyline, the time traveling, the prolonged asthma of Hsiao Yu (Rain), the destruction of the school building, the music score of Secret, the magical power of the old piano, even the poem was a pretension to elegance.I hope I don't offend the fans of this movie, but I think this movie fits perfectly into the mainstream movie by giving you all the elements of sadness, fantasy, beautiful actress, handsome actor, good music and of course, romance. But with its obvious flaws, it is never a classic.

SS I was recommended highly of this movie by a friend from Taiwan who is a fan of Jay Chou. It's been a while since I've seen a Chinese flick other than those that made it to Hollywood by big name directors like Ang Lee, so I decided to check out this comparably more local film to see if the quality has improved from what I remember.My take after watching is that it was overrated by Jay Chou's overly-zealous fans, and skewed by his popularity. He is not a bad actor at all compared to some of the sideline characters (such as the piano battle referee, which I must say is casted poorly and was embarrassingly bad at reciting his lines). The story is cliché and the interaction between the 2 main characters were not developed enough for the audience to feel the bond needed. The dialogue between the 2 main characters were rather cheesy and not heart-felt. There were some decently comedic parts to the movie, I enjoyed the father-son relationship more. The father is one of the better cast in the movie. Story concept has some similarity to the Lake House, with a bit of a twist in the end, but can hardly be described as original. Beautiful scenery and backdrop, but the digitally enhanced portion where the building was crumbling down looked cheaply done.

geneysailing 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.
