I'm fourteen again!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! OH MY GOD! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I LOVE HE'S A WOMAN, SHE'S A MAN! LOVEITLOVEITLOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT!
That movie has reduced me to your average teenage lovesick girl puppy who dots her i's with hearts and signs her lettes XOXO. I want to put up posters in my room now, and gaze at them adoringly while dreaming of love true happening.
I take back everything I said about romantic comedies. No, wait, most of them still suck, but every now and then you'll get one like this one that sends you out of orbit. I love this movie so much. No wonder it's considered a classic and was one of Hong Kong's big hit back in the days. It's also the only Hong Kong movie I think I can show people who's not into Hong Kong movies. I'm getting my sister to watch it. I think she'll love it. It's such a charming, thoughtful, wonderfully adult movie, even if it uses Sesame Street puppets.
Puppets! IT HAD PUPPETS!
And still manages to be a mature, honest movie about emotional and sexual confusion, with so much heart. Wonderful humour (I laughed as hard at this one as I did with Wu Yen.) One of more sensitive look at homosexuality, even without a gay OTP (but hey, it's a Hong Kong movie, and they can slip gay into the most heterosexual plotline.) A few very hot kisses ;)
I am such a girl!
Oh Leslie. You were such a hottie, and utterly convincing as a man who's likes women but begins to question himself about a certain boy. Not that I blame you, I dare anyone to watch this and not fall in love with Anita Yuen, in boy or girl form. Carina Lau reminds me why I'm such a fan of hers, and her character reminds me why I like Hong Kong movies so much better than Hollywood's so often - what Hollywood would have vilified because she's not part of the OTP, Hong Kong movies usually emphasize and shows she doesn't fit but she's still great in her own right.
I've been looking for a good romance for a while, and this satisfied that craving beautifully. I love that the characters aren't caricature, and I love that it made homosexuality an issue without making it an *ISSUE*, and I love the puppets, and that ending that left me squealing.
Now to look at more MVs and gaze adoringly at them.
Oh god.
SUCH A GIRL RIGHT NOW.
