Cape No.7

Recently, this movie becomes very popular in Taiwan. wherever I go, I always hear that people talk about this movie all the time. Therefore, I also went to see the movie with my friends two weeks ago. After seeing the movie, I realized why people like it very much.

It is a story about dream, love, and music. A man, A-ga, who wants to be a singner in Taipei, doesn't make his dream come true. In the end, he gives it up and comes back to his hometown, Pingtung. After he comes home, he just stays at home and does nothing. But one day, because of an car accident, he has to be a postman, however, he doesn't care about this job so he doesn't carry the letters to the right place. Instead, he puts the letters in his room everyday. One day,he feels interested in some letters written by Japanese. Because of curiosity, he reads the letters but cannot understand the meanings.

Suddenly, there is an good opportunity for him. He can have a band and perform a show in front of many people,but it's very difficult because he has to write two songs and find the partners to play the band with him in three days. Finally, there are some people who can play instruments join the band ,but A-ga doesn't like them and thinks that they don't really understand music. Therefore, they often argue and cannot practice well. At the same time, he often argues with a woman, Yuuko, who has to plan this performance.......

The most famous line in this movie is that "stay here or I will go with you." When I heard it, I felt that it's the most romantic line that I have ever heard. Usually, people will ask their lovers to stay with them, but they won't say they are willing to go with their lovers. When A-ga says that to Yuuko, I was really touched.

However, I still feel something strange . For example, how can A-ga and Yuuko fall in love so suddenly? They alway quarrel with each other, how can they realize that they love each other and have a one night stand so fastly? It really confuse me. Furthermore, how about the owner of the letters? In the end, A-ga gives the letters to the owner,but we don't know the feelings about the owner. Does she cry? Does she think of some memories? Will she want to go to Japan and talk to her lover's daughter? There are still a lot of questions that I want to know.

To sum up, it's a good movie.It makes me understand that nothing is impossible. Everybody has his dreams, if you want to make your dream come true, just do it! Try hard and catch the opportunities, then you can make your dreams come ture someday.

Cape No.7 is really a famous movie recently, it seems everyone should hear about it or the one will be laughed as a person of old fashion.But I still haven't watched this...
The plot and conversation are so "dailyized" that you can hear some four words.> <
And the box office is only next to the old movie"Titanic." From this we can learn how hot cake the movie is.
I haven't watched the movie, so I cannot answer your questions, but I believe it is a good movie.

After reading your description about the movie, it attracts me and I want to see the movie either.
Love stories always touch people the most.Moreover,I think that it is ok for a movie to have some bugs. Do not focus on the bugs, instead, enjoy the movie!^^
