In Love We Trust (2007) 左右: A divorced couple learns that the way to possibly save daughter, who is suffering from blood cancer, is to have another child. Problem is: They're both already remarried. (6.7)
Director: Xiaoshuai Wang
Writer: Xiaoshuai Wang
Stars: Weiwei Liu, Jia-yi Zhang and Nan Yu
Language: Mandarin (w/ English subtitles)
While the movie contains a somewhat improbable (not impossible) story, it asks you to put yourself in each of the four main character's place. What would you do if you were in his or her shoes? What wrenching emotions are you willing to endure? The story is not about the daughter's sickness; and, at least to me, the hero in the story is the stepfather. I really liked the fact that the director wasn't afraid to use the normal contemporary scenes to give it a sense of authenticity. Good casting in picking four main actors with contrasting mannerisms well-suited for the roles. This is a movie you will think about long after you've seen it. My Rating: 7.0
