不能说的秘密 - SECRET

I'm not really a BIG fan of Jay Chou's, but I do listen to his songs and watch his movies. Have you guys watched his latest movie SECRET? Boy oh boy, I watched it twice today itself!!! Being a fan to love stories, I didn't hesitate to watch this one. Moreover, this is Jay's first try at movie directing, after several times directing his own MTVs.

The fact that Jay Chou directed this movie, got me even more interested to watch, just to see what this already-multi-talented-guy has up his sleeves. Guess what, it's not one of those lame crappy love stories, it has a BIG twist in it, and that's the SECRET in this movie. It's really catchy and you have to really pay attention to every scene and every word spoken. I didn't quite understand the first time. I'm addicted to it now. This is a great suprise, suprise of the year. Everything was so romantic and beautiful, the plot, the directing, the acting and especially the music.

Unlike his previous movies which he acted rather badly, especially in The Curse Of The Golden Flower, he triumphs in this one. You can see he's talking more and his acting has certainly gotten better by leaps and bounds. There are more facial expression from him, more lively, and what impressed me most is his piano play. Those were exceptionally brilliant! Unlike other actor/actress who has to use stand-ins when playing piano, the camera was zoomed in on Jay and there were non-stop shots of Jay playing the piano himself. The rest of the casts did a great job too. Wong Chow Sang was the spark, providing several funny scenes. The other girl SKY is really pretty. Prettier than the main actress RAIN. If I were Jay, I would have chosen SKY instead. Hahahaha...

Anyway, I guess this movie is going to hit the Chinese movie industries big time, and top the movie lists. I enjoy watching this than Transformers!! Keep an eye on this movie in the Golden Horse Awards, for I think it's going to win a couple of awards, namely The Best New Director(Jay Chou), Best Music(不能说的秘密), Best Supporting Actor(Anthony Wong), Best Actress(Guey Lun-Mei) and perhaps being nominated for the Best Movie, Best Cinematography and Best Story.

Check out its OST too. I understand the movie's OST is a limited edition. And most have been sold out! I'm addicted to his new song 不能说的秘密. Really nice. Cheers to Jay Chou, a multi-talented guy. Respect him highly for his newly found script writing and movie directing talent. Personally I really recommend this movie. But for those who are not into love stories and don't really like Jay Chou, I would advise you to keep your expectation as low as possible, so that you won't be disappointed.
