不能说的秘密 - 赞！！！

I'm so tired I want to sleep, but I just had to blog about this before I forget tomorrow.

Anyway, I am super impressed with Jay after watching Secret. 你没看错。我这个超级杰伦迷到今天才去看<不能说的秘密>!

观看前，还以为这个赚钱赚到手酸的大明星对于当导演只是三分钟热度。观看后，又再次的对他倾慕，觉得他真的是很有天分，而且是个天才。不论他当歌手，当创作人，当钢琴手，当吉他手，当饶舌歌手，当导演，当演员，当狗仔队的头号目标，当南拳妈妈的师兄，当魔术师，当耍帅的艺人，当孝顺的儿子和孙子，各个角色都能扮演得很好。可能是因为他的处世态度吧。当他决定要做一件事时，就会很认真，尽心尽力的把它做到最好。可能他也是个完美主义者吧。

Spoilers below! For those who haven't watched Secret, (slower than me ones), go watch go watch, and be awed by Jay ! hahahaha...

Anyways, I love Secret! The little romantic antics, the witty dialogues, the funny expressions, the beautiful settings, the old antique piano, the trees etc etc..

The cast is excellent. Gui Lunmei is a very elegant and pretty lead character, 很有气质, and she successfully portrayed the character as a mysterious girl, whom even I want to know her better aha... and she';s so natural. She looks good even without thick makeup. I must applaud Jay for having such good choice, in choosing girls haha..

As for Jay, I heard that his acting improved. And I do think that it did! He looks much more natural here than in "黄金甲". Maybe cos different genre, and this is his own film that's y. Also, there seems to be more expressions from him now - the mischievous, cheeky look, the sad face (omg I especially love the very last scene - when he had a bit of tears. reminded me of 开不了口' MV haha..), the flustered, scared look....

I love the fact that Jay incorporated music into the movie - how the whole movie revolves around music. His dad in the movie even commented that people who don't listen to music are bad kids. This sounded very familiar, as I remember Jay once said that music is good, and usually those who listen to music are good kids.. haha..

It is also very heartwarming to see that his house is full of music - the racks and racks of CDs, the guitar hanging on the wall, the piano, even his dad is into music.

It was also very romantic that the couple got together because of their love for music, and the times where they enjoy music together.

I especially love the piano duel scenes, not only because of Jay and Yuhao's superb piano skills, but also because the way some scenes were shot. Such as the zooming in and spanning across of the piano inside, the wood and hammers and the whole mechanics of piano playing. I felt that it was really cool!

I was totally surprised in the later half of the movie. At first I thought 小雨 was a ghost! But it turned out otherwise, and it turned out to be very unbelievable. I immediately thought if Lake House...The thought of 2 lovers being separated by time and space - it was so heart-wrenching! Especially the scribbling part... and when 小雨tells her part, everything falls into perspective and it just gets sadder....

I like the way he fills up the bits and pieces in when 小雨tells her part. It made the story feel fuller and more complete. Otherwise, it would have just been a typical, cliched romance film.

However the scene where he was furiously playing the piano away while the walls & chandelier come tumbling down, it was a little exagerated. But yet I think it showed the turmoil and anxiousness and eagerness of him to finish playing the "key" piece.

The last twist at the end was yet another surprise. But my sis and I were saying, what about the poor dad? haha..

I think some may say the whole thing is so illogical and not understandable, but again like Lake House, it is precisely this irrationality and "twisted logic" that makes it nice. Don't have to think so much, why like that, why go back bla bla bla..

And I lvoe the OST. Regretted not buying it earler. See la now everywhere also sold out, even HMV! sigh...
