Secret (不能说的秘密)
I had expected it to be a typical, lovey-dovey high school romance flick, with a cheesy plot, and where the ending would be all fine and sweet and cliche... And especially since it is Jay Chou's first attempt at directing a full film, I had kinda expected it to suck (sorry, Jay).
I couldn't have been more wrong.
The cast was good, setting was good, acting was good, storyline was good, and the music was GREAT... Pretty much everything was great. It had way exceeded my expectations.
The plot... oh my gosh... it's just... super. Nice twist, and pretty much everything adds up at the end of the day. Of course, all movie plots have their loopholes too, but... ...
Can't reveal too much of the plot, for I won't want to spoil the movie for others. So I will leave the plot to be as Jay Chou wants it to be, a "不能说的秘密". All I can say is that it's rather moving and sad.
Actress 桂纶美 also looks perfect for the role of 小雨. She looks just so sweet and innocent, and has this sincere, insecure look in her eyes in the movie.
Jay, himself, does a convincing job of playing his role too. It was an excellent job for a first-time director I must say.
He was the Prince of Mandopop, the Prince of Drift (in Initial D) and the Prince (in 黄金甲). Now he looks set to be the Prince of Movie Directing.
Kudos to Jay, the overacheiver.
