Can You Change it? My Fate
Introduction:The film questions if we can really fight our fates in this world, and how the society and the people around us, help or derail us
Pacing and Storyline:
The pacing of the film is good, they are no moments that dragged on to long
The ending of the film is beautifully done and is the reason I enjoyed the film
At no point in the last act of the movie, did I know where the story would lead me and that made me re-watch the ending a few times
Main Characters and Performances:
Gordon Lam gives a great show as the master, you easily get carried away by his performance
Direction and Cinematography:
The cinematography did not stand out for me but it did help accent moments in the film
The cgi, was not good at all, it got distracting at times
Music and Soundtrack:
Generally it was okay, I wish they worked on the soundtrack more
Conclusion:
I highly recommend the film
It reminds me, we are not just ants at the mercy of fate. And shows with the right help people can defy their fates.
At the end everything depends on people and whats in their hearts
Plus it doesn't help when you have someone like master who is willing to help and believe in you with all their might

If you enjoy true crime, you wont get bored
The story was pretty simple and something you can find while listening to a true-crime podcast but it's a movie.It's definitely not a waste of time but that's about it.
What I Liked
The commentary on how society treats deaf people rings true throughout the narrative, it also accents the police incompetency that will frustrate you
The killer is your typical unstable, grandiose, psychopath who was quite smart and thus could explain why he wasn't caught for most of the narrative
What I Found Meh
The cops like in most true crime/ horror films are a waste of taxpayers' money, none of them believed the victims because they were deaf and women and were really shitty at their jobs
All the women are victims with little to no agency for most of the story, aside from running away or crying, and that's kinda cliche, Despite there being numerous ways to fight off the killer.
While the men were the only ones to even hurt the killer (like the serial killer does more damage to himself than any of his victims)
Ratings Explained
The story is pretty solid, the acting top-notch, the music highlighted the moments but nothing really stood out.
It's a pretty straightforward narrative so rewatch value is not as high as the suspense is greatly reduced.
