thanks mich for the movie treat. it was fanfuckingtastic and i didnt know how much i needed it till it was over.
dear ladies and gentlemen.. i advocate like i've never recommended anything before in my entire life. if you like great cinematography, enjoy intriguing storylines, appreciate compelling acting, revel in incredible on-screen chemistry and LOVE LOVE stories, Jingle Ma's 2007 cult-classic-in-the-making 'Happy Birthday' is the direction you're heading to.
hurry up, grab somebody from the opposite sex save your relatives and get going!
some MORE reasons:
- the camera shots were mind-blowing
- the chronological order was a delightful mish-mash
- the story-line was interesting thru and thru
- the ending was so sad, i teared (thank God she didn't see)
- the chemistry between Louis Koo and Rene Liu was insane
ZOMG did i forget to mention it was in MANDARIN?!
