You Are the Apple of My Eyes

People have been discussing about the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eyes" aka "那些年,我們一起追的女孩
 lately and this film receives a lot of positive reviews. 






Emm.... What is so special about it? Judging by the title, it looks like normal puppy love story (Don't judge a book by its cover, I constantly remind myself). However, the author (this film is originated from a novel) who is also the director of the film (Giddens Ko) has a very special pen name: "九把刀" (Nine knives). Curiosity kills a cat. So I dragged my boyfriend to watch this movie with me.






The story centers around the youthful days of the author - how he fell in love with the girl, how he wooed her, fought with her, etc. However, I really love the way the story unfolds, I was absolutely riveted by the story. I was connected to the lead actress because I was the so-called good student in the class in my high school.  


I totally love how she replied when she was challenged by the lead actor.


1. Lead actor: 我敢跟妳賭,十年後,我連log是什麼都不知道,照樣活得很好。(I bet you that I still can live well after ten years even though I know nothing about log.)
Lead actress: 我相信 ( I believe.) 
Lead actor: Then why you study so hard?
Lead actress: 人生本來就有很多事是徒勞無功的啊。(There are always futile things in life.)






2. Lead actor: 媽啦! 成績好就可以瞧不起人啊?那妳繼續好了!(WT*! So top students have the rights to look down on people? Then you continue getting good results.) 
Lead actress: 我瞧不起的不是成績不好的人,我瞧不起的是明明自己不用功念書,卻只會瞧不起用功念書的人! (I do not look down on people with poor results; I look down on people who do not work hard but look down on people that study hard.)






I enjoyed myself, and I left entertained. 


One more thing, we stayed till the very end of the movie. So we got to see some special perks from the director. ;) So do wait and watch till the screen blacked out completely before you leave.
