After seeing this movie i thought of something that i never felt before. The feeling of seeing the hardest things in a lighter way. this romantic philosophic comedy has a straight line story.
A brat Jane (Fann wong) who doesn't care about life in any manner but the thing is she is living. She can do anything for her drinking and drugs. A sophisticated, shy guy Sam (Peter Ho) who works as a journalist in HK. He needs a story and she has the story nothing but her story. Slowly a sensitive relation develops between them. Circumstances lead them to live under one roof. Here Jane starts living with a hope and Sam with a fear. Then comes the story of separation and reunion. But that is not that simple to say anyway.
Well the power of this movie is its simplicity and continuity. Let me tell u one simple sequence after Jane undergoes an eye surgery she comes down by lift of the hospital. On one floor she observes a family crying on death of their relative and on next stop of lift she notices a man in joy on his new born kid. Then the narration thru her says that life is both optimistic and pessimistic, it's the what u chose for yourself that matters. see how simple yet powerful.
i personally feel that i don't mind watching this movie again and again
