Movie Critique
“Love You Ten Thousand Years” is a love comedy, but what the most interesting is that the romance in the movie is based on “break-up”. The main actor can’t endure every girlfriend’s quarrel when they are about to break up, so he decides to have a short summer love instead of a long relationship. As for the main actress, who just gets rid of her fiancé, also wants to have a romantic summer love. When both of them think of the same thing, they are suitable for each other immediately. They sign a love contract, which only lasts for 90 days, and this is how the story begins.
Director is the most inspirational figures in the whole manufacturing team. The director of the movie is Pei Tsun Feng Ching, who is also one of the characters in the movie. The director is good at using “fun” skills in the movie. He adopts the ways which are used to make cartoons to deal with some complicated scenes in the movie. He wants to make the audiences enjoy the funny but a little bit touching movie and recall the memories of your unforgettable love, instead of taking it too seriously. As for the scenes appeared in the movie, including the feast on the wedding beside the road, the paths in the traditional Taiwanese countries. It can also be seen the different cultures between Taiwan and Japan. There are electronic music and Taiwanese dance which can represent parts of Taiwanese culture. Needless to say, we can also find the traditional Japanese kimonos and music in the movie.
Choosing Actors is one of the most important reason to turn the movie into a box-office. Wu, Ching-Feng, who is the main actor in the movie. He is the person that always wants to avoid escaping from the reality. He seems not to care about anything in his life, and even the love, which is always not so important to him. Love always plays an important role in his life until he finds the right one in his life. The actor is Chou, Yu-Min, who also stars many other movies. I think that he performs not so well in this movie. Compared to other movies, he even doesn’t show out his talents in this movie. He is just a person who dumped many girls and a dispirited man, without any touching or heart-breaking feelings, and he is just upstaged by other supporting performers.
Both of the actor and actress say to each other:「After a year, if you still love me; and I still love you, then can we give it a try this time?」. This is the sentence which I consider can represent the main idea in the movie because they can put down their honors, starting a new life and getting to know each other better. They meet each other by coincidence when both of them are just dumped by their ex-partners. Next, their relationships are based on the premise of “break up” and sign a contract which only lasts for 90 days. Their life from recognizing to living together are in such a rush that they can’t just get to know each other more in a slow pace. This, according to my opinion, is the most important conversation in the movie.
I think it’s a movie which can make audiences laugh with delighted tears. This movie is touching because some tiny details are dealt with exquisite skills. Though the story and the conversations are not so attractive, the interpretations of most of protagonists really give me an unforgettable impression.
