I saw other 3 films of Ming-liang Tsai for academic reasons (God, in a way that's why I didn't like his movies), This time I encourage myself to watch this film, even his work is not my type, but its promotion campaign in Taiwan is phenomenal, very different form traditional Taiwan"SAD" cinema. I confess, I go to this film for the sexual approach that its campaign emphasized.
However, I found that it is not so uncomfortable to watch this film, OK, the pace is still quite and slow, but it show more understandable creative element for popular audience like me, in the theater, many audience laughed in some points, and the musical design is special (but i don't like these classic Chinese songs, actually, but i like the musical parts, in a way...). I like the interactive process between the Leading Actor and Leading Actress, I found how "LOVE" means for and was interpreted by Tsai in this relationship, the Ending is not as astonishing as I imaged, but it indeed leave a lot for the audience to IMAGE...To sum up, Ming-liang Tsai's film is to read, not watch, therefore we can have our own meaning to his films(but again, must through READING...), this time, this movie is easier for me to read, even it's still not a pop approach after all. I am happy for Ming-liang Tsai this time
A more worth watching Film from Ming-liang Tsai. 7/10
