Story
The movie adopts a story that's trully happened in the real world. The story said a young lady knowed that she had a breast cancer in one day.At that time, her lover just expressed his love to the young lady and the lady hesitated whether to accept this love or not since she didn't know how long she can still alive. However, after knowing the lady's bad news, the guy still insisted to accompany her and fight against the illness. Time passed so soon and cruelly, after 6 months, the guy decided to hold a wedding for the lady in order to fullfill her last dream.
This is the story around this young lady including the supporting of her family and friends and the positive attitude toward life even until the last moment.


My Reflection
Actually, this kind of movie often move me into tears terribly,since the story is adopted by the normal life which we are familiar. Thus, the story can easily strke a chord with audience and sometimes let us reflect our behavior or attitude toward life.
In this movie, even though the illness is so hard, the young lady still wants to live everyday in her life happily and grasps at any chance to improve that she once lives in the world. Therefore, she keeps a diary and embrace every caring toward her. Moreover, when she has more energy, she will wants to pass the love to other person. Let them know how beautiful the world it is even if she is struggling hard with the illness. At that time, I think everyone will be persuaded by her spirit and wants their lifes as colorful as they can. For example, you will find the trifle things that once bother you most seems disappeared, and from the time you watched the movie, you will find that you should focus the things that are more important and profound in your life.
I think one's attitude will change a lots after watch this movie. At that time, they will know how to cherish what they already have instead of complaining all day long.

Story

This is a story about an goldfish who become a friend and lover of a little boy named Sosuke. However, this kind of relationship will cause a dangerous flood and endanger the world. Therefore,there are different tests to examine these two youngsters love.

My Reflection

Actually, I had already seen this movie in 2008, but I just can't forget the touching feeling for a while after I watched the movie. Therefore,I want to recommend this movie to all of you.

It's known that this movie was made by a famous Japanese animatior Hayao Miyazakiw who makes up lots of population animations. Generally, it's a lengend to see that almost every of his animations prevail over the whole world and even translate more than 50 languages. Moreover, his animations often express some great ideas such as protecting our environment and how badly humankid treat to the earth even though himeself is also a human being.

Since I am the lover of sea, I feel so happy that this movie is around the environment of sea. The part that impressed most is the way that director depicts the movement of wave. It use the personification to gave the wave life which is more energetic and funny.Moreover, the director extend the imagination to make the impossible thing become possible and the most gorgeous part is you can see some profound meanings from this exaggerations. For example, how dirty it is under the sea and the condition if we don't treat our earth well.

This is a fabulous movie and hope you all can see it by yourself. Sometimes, silence has more power than languages. : )))))

Movie:Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Director：Woody Allen

Starring：Scarlett Johansson、Penélope Cruz、Javier Bardem

Story

This movie depicts the modern love happenend in Barcelona. The director wants to express the idea that it's not necessary to definite the shape of love. For example, love can cross the boundary of natural sex and numbers of people. It doesn't matter whether the love happened between homosexual people and heterosexual people or 2-3 women shares a husband. Actually, the movie used some exaggeration to amplify this kind of idea and thus the style of the movie is more funniner comparing to the same type of movie.

Penélope Cruz

Scarlett Johansson

My Reflection

At first, I really feel shcok to see the director's idea of "love", since I come from a very conventional family. It's known that only one female and one male can be called "falling in love with each other."Thus, it's novel to see the love between homosexuality, heterosexuality and more than 2 people involving in the relationship of "love."It just broadens my horizon.

Maybe because of the style of the movie, I totally accepted this idea of "love" after I watched the movie. In fact, every one has there right to chase what they really want in their lives. Therefore, as long as they feel happy to be themselves, it's okay to do what they like without caring other one's opinion. After all, everyone only has one life to live. Isn't it?

Haha! However,to my self, I think I still need some time to try this kind of "love."

Movie: Perhaps Love

Perhaps Love

Information

Websire：http://www.applause.com.tw/movie/perhapslove/edm/index.htm

Director：陳可辛

Starring：金城武、張學友、周迅、池珍熙

Story

This is the typical love story. First, the leading men and the herorin were coulpe tens years ago and they all become superstar nowadays. Then, the scene zoom in to the past memory about their love in the past and the outcome of their love. Though they seperate for 10 years, the leading man still loves the herorin and waits for her to come back. Therefore, that's all about the story begin and continue.

My reflection

This film is special because it's use lots of dancers which is hard to seen in oriental movie. In my opinion, I really like the dance, chores and clothing in this movie. They are all so great no less than foreign dance movie. I think from this leading example, eastern world can come out lots of

dance movie and color the area that our movie is lack of.

By the way, I really like the role that 張學友 plays. He first feels angry when he finds out the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend. He tried to persuade himself that his grilfriend love himself and keeps silent to see what will the thing go on. Then, after few days, he finds that he can't still replace the position of ex-boyfriend in his girlfriend's mind. In the end, he choose to let his girlfriend go and free himself at once. It's just a big turning point and is also a reflection of totally understament toward life.

Even though there are lots of bad comments on this movie, I still like it! It's simple a love story and that is all!!

Movie：Brokeback Mountain

Brokeback Mountain

Director：Ang Lee
Starring： Jake Gyllenhaal、Heath Ledger、Anne Hathaway、Anna Faris

The imprtant actor in the world: Heath Ledger

Story

This is the story happened in the Western America at about 1960-1970. Two men are hired to keep the sheep on the Brokeback Mountain. However, after few days in the mountain, they both find each other important to themselfes. Contrast to their expectations, they neeed to face the reality everytime they come out of the Brokeback Mountain. In order to be accepted by most of the people,the two men form from their own family seperately and even have their offsprings. In fact,the film is not only the homosexual moviem, but a movie talks about love.

My Reflection

It is hard to express the feeling after watch Ang Lee's movie. This film is so special and will broaden your horizon.

In this movie, you can't analysis it by using the commen methods that is universal. Actually, Ang Lee's uses the delicate Chinese thought to show this movie. Orignally, the book that Brokeback Mountain adopted only has 50 pages. It's so short that you will feel amazed by Ang Lee's ability to make the movie in such length and deatiled description.The director even emphasis on each small items in order to show the perfect work. For example, the director are willing to give more details such as the different personalities and behaviors in advance, so that make it more resaonable and can easily strike a chord with audience when the plot happened to the love between this two men. By the way, if you are more careful, you will find that the actors appearence, clothings and even sounds change in three different process in their lifes.

Though this is the love between two men,the movie talks more about the struggle that they need to face in the real lifes such as family. One scene that I feel so impressed is the behavior of one's wife after she sees the men's kiss and realizes his husband is a homosexual. At first, she fears,hide, cried and later calm, spechless and decide what to do. You will also feel your heart is broken when you see this kind of situation. The issue of family is also what's the director good at .On accout of the struggle between the reality, you can see these two men's different behavior, but at least they fight for their love.

This movie is sooooooooooooo excellent!! I can't express it whole only in words. Mybe the best way is to see the movie by yourself!

The most meaningful scene: I owe U!

Movie: Painted Skin

Though it's the story about ghost, the love between human and monster is so touching.

Painted Skin

Director: 陳嘉上

Starring: 周迅、趙薇、甄子丹、陳坤、孫儷

Story

The film adopts the story from an ancient Chinese story about the ghost.

It said about a monster who want to experience the life of human being pretend a normal people and join one of the family member of the famous warrior. At first, the monster does everything she could to lure the warrior, but the warrior refuses because he already has a wife. In the past, his wife decide to chose the warrior and not the other guy. Thus, even though the warrior like the pretend monster, he've never done something that will make his wife sad. Meanwhile, the warrior's life knows her husband love this newcomer and also find out the true face of the monster. She decides to fullfill this love and sacrifice herself. The most important and touching part is about the the monster's attitude toward love and the attitude is differ according to the monster's understanding about love.

My Reflection

Orginally, I thought it's a ghost story from the poster , so I feard so terribly to watch a horror story alone. Thus, I asked my sister to accompany me and later found out that the moive is so lovely and touching.

It's not dare to say the most impressed part is the monster's attitude toward love in different process. At first, the monster thinks that to love is to possession. Therefore, she uses tricky methods in order to attract the warrior and produces accidents to let everyone admire herself more than the warrior's wife. However, she can't get the equal payment for a long time and thinks that she can owe everthing if the warrior's wife dead. To her surprise, the love between the warrior and his wife is so stable that moves the monster's attitude. In the end, the monster inspire that to love is to let the lover feel happy.

I really like the end of the story when the monster understand the nature of love, she decide to exchange her thousand years life for everyone. I was soooooo moved at that time and thought this behavior was so noble no matter what the monster had done before. You will know that the monster trully understands what's the simple rule of the universal which we even sometimes forget in our lifes.

Movie:500 Days Of Summer

This is the latest movie.
It's not a love story but it's a story about love.
It's soooo amazing!!

500 Days Of Summer

Information

Website: http://www.foxsearchlight.com/500daysofsummer/

Date: 2009-11-20

Director:Marc Webb

Starring: Zooey Daschanel、Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Story

There is a women who don't belive love at all called Summer(Zooey Daschanel) and she meets a man called Tom(Joseph Gordon-Levitt). They work in the same card company. Summer is the new assistant and Tom who majors architect in collge is good at inventing the wishes used in the card.

The movie recorded the process of their love in 500 days: meeting each other, falling in love ,breaking up and getting over. Actually, it discuss the nature of the love and it's not a romance.

My reflection

At first, I was attracted by the beautiful and handsame starring but later I thought the topic that the movie wants to express is so meaningful and touching.The movie honesty reflects different faces of love and can strike a chord with the audience since it adopt the things that often happened in our daily life!

People who first saw this movie must scold at Summer at first,however, as you think the story over, you will find that it is just what's love goning on. In love, there is no right or wrong to love a person and it's hard to express one's feeling about love. Indeed, later you will figure out that Tom is the person to be blamed for because of his fears to face his real feeling. This behavior just likes what we will done when we fall in love. We may find proper excuses to make up for the feeling that we don't like and disguise the ungly truth. Our eyes are prone to blind and our ears are prone to close as long as you fall in love.

I think the movie carves the flavors of love well. It's amazing that even the movie discuss the serious topic while the tempo of its is so lightly and joyful. When you finish the movie, you just ponder a while, agree what the movie said and still have courage to find a one. No wonder this movie recommend by lots of people.
