海角七号 (Cape no 7)

I watched this cos my 'wanna go for a movie' desire is not fulfilled due to yesterday rain. So i was watching this instead. Many of you would know about this movie as it has become so popular in Taiwan. The storyline is really simple yet touching.

For full synopsis of the movie you can wiki it yourself cos am really lazy to write hahaha~ clicking on the title will link you to the movie official website.


I love what that had been wrote in those 7 love letter in the movie, it's really beautiful~ Most of the actor that cast this movie have little acting experience while some of the supporting roles were filled by non-actors and it's impressive how it doesn't really give you the feeling of " that dude cannot act" like how we sometime feel from Taiwanese drama. Another thing i like about this movie is how well it shows the local style and life of south Taiwan village, really like 茂伯 in the movie though he's not a loving character, but i especially like how he scolded people in Taiwanese and always wanna to be part of the people that perform on stage. This is mainly due to my love to hear people scolding or criticism sth in dialect bah haha cos more 'feel'~ I also like all the small joke scene they throw in, such as the police father injury hahaha~

The things i don't really like is the love between 阿嘉 and 友子 (tomoko) cos it's really give you the feeling of "what is all that about?", kinda bizarre and sudden development there~ It's do give me feeling of they have sex cos both of them kinda have crush on each other and they are both a bit drunk hence perfect moment to throw in the one night stand thing, i don't feel any hint of romance there~

I also don't like Tomoko's character. (not the one in the letter) It's understandable she is frustrated in many things for the situation she's in, (i might act like that too) but when i watched the movie i feel more like " what's wrong with this b*tch" hence have a bit negative impression on this character.

Nevertheless, It is a nice slow pace movie to watch, the music in the movie is nice too :P
