Jay Chou's 不能說的秘密 (Secret)

The movie setting is great. Chou told us a little love story by bought us back to his own hi-school with the same role as a pianist of the orchestra (info from wiki). The old tricks always work as setting like this does stir up audiences' sweet memory of their old days thus easily linked their emotion together....

The talent, which Chou showed in the movie by playing piano was impressive (he composed all songs in the movie). There was no stunt work for piano-playing as shown on the screen. Surely it would cheer up and satisfy all the fans of Chou.

The mood suddenly changed in the last half of the show..... It's a kind of odd, and irrational (I thought of watching a ghost story at once)... But who can argues with things created from imagination? Movie such as Somewhere in Times, Il Mare, My Sassy Girl, Back to the future would based on no rational ground. Chou did make it ok, especially for his first directed movie... ( with lots of helper I suppose.?!)

I didn't like Anthong Wong Chau-sang's role as Chou's father this time. Wong was weird and dumb, possibly problem in the design of the character other than the acting..? I would prefer the one in Initial D.

The ending was quick... everything concluded within 4 minutes... It's too rushed, and reminded us the MV of his famous song in his first album: Tornado (龍捲風)... The movie unfortunately ended up like a MV other than a movie then...

It's a good watch I would commented, surely would push his fame high and again show his talent in another way... Would Chou be able to make another movie? Uncertain though... ;p
