那些年,我们一起追的女孩

it's been a long while since my last movie. having said that, this movie i just watched was also a very random one. i haven't heard of this movie at all and only went to watch it because my cousin asked to. i'm not one for surprises, especially not when weekend tickets are $10. but, i absolutely enjoyed this movie. haven't seen such a endearing romance film in quite a while.

青春是一场大雨。即使感冒了，还盼望回头再淋它一次。

this story is based on Giddens Ko(九把刀) own experience with a girl he used to like alot. he wrote it into a novel which subsequently made it to he big screen. i won't bore you with the synopsis since you can easily google or wiki that up. i'll just say that it's nice to know in reality, not all love stories have a fairytale ending. i'm sure we all have that special guy or girl in our hearts whom we will never forget.

the english title is "you are the apple of my eye" and i really recommend everyone to go watch it. yes, it's just another love story but it's also not just about falling in love. somehow this movie really brings me back to my jc days, when eyecandies and silly infatuations first grew on me. it is true that the best part of a relationship is during the courtship period, but if it never becomes a relationship you won't actually think that way. back then when i had my little crushes, i always thought how happy i'd be if the guy also told me he liked me. all these puppy love that never made it to a proper relationship will always just be sweet memories to me.

i guess i'm lucky enough because there was finally a guy i liked who told me he liked me too and that was probably the main reason why i said yes when he asked me to be his girlfriend. suddenly the long list of what my future ideal boyfriend is going to be was thrown out of the door.. the stuff about, 'he must be older than me', 'he must be tall', blah blah blah.. that all didn't seem to exist at that moment. in the movie, the girl was so ready to say yes but the guy didn't ask. in the end they never got together and eventually she married someone else. so guys, next time you like a girl, just ask her. unless you are content to just to be part of her memory instead.

and because i really like this movie, i came home and googled about it. can you believe this guy (柯震东) is only 20 and the actress (陈妍希) is 28?! i'm really impressed man. and he even won the best newcomer award at this year's golden horse awards! definitely a movie to add to my dvd collection. (:

and coincidentally, i actually heard the main theme song for this movie without realising. last thursday night, doh and keane organized overnight mj. keane left this song playing on repeat so that his computer won't sleep. haha! so yea, i listened to this song the entire night and it did slowly grow on me. when the movie ended and the starting melody came on, i was like, "omg, it can't be!". everything just sort of came together nicely.. haha. the lyrics is actually very sweet. if i were 沈佳宜, i would be really touched.
