To put it off first, although there were some problems I found with the scene cutting and stuff, I still give this a 10. I think it was trying to be artistic and "French" but I'll forgive that. Compare to most overhyped things, this movie actually was able to move me in ways that others stories could not in a long time. It was refreshing, heart wrenching and realistic. The acting of the actors, the characters became so precious in my memory. While watching their trials and struggles, I wanted to jump into the screen and give these complex characters a big hug. I also would like to say it was very "Taiwanese". The passion, the love and the crazy drama! Watching Jia Han and Birdy, their dynamic brought in a sense of nostalgia I had from watching old classic Taiwanese dramas. (Its funny they mentioned chiung yao). The stereotypical crazy lovers, so passionately in love that they make stupid mistakes. It is a annoying cliché nowadays but the movie made the characters so real that this element was like icing on the cake. The love story between Ji han and birdy was so pure, so innocent and precious. Watching this, I think it is a reminder that not all lovers get to be together in the end, even in our modern world. The rights of LGBTQ are still being suppressed and not everyone is allowed to love. "To be denied love and deny one's own love" i realize is one of the most hurtful thing ever and the movie did a good job conveying that. The death of youth is real. Time can be as precious as much as anything else. To live without regrets is probably the most satisfying gift. Overall this movie was great.
Also For fk sake we get that its sad people but dang, it was still a good movie! Just cause something doesn't end how you want it doesn't mean the movie was bad! The chemistry between the actors was off the charts!!!
