Secret (PG) 7.0

Secret (2007) (不能说的秘密): Ye Xiang Lun, a talented piano player is a new student at the prestigious Tamkang School. On his first day, he meets Lu Xiao Yu, a pretty girl playing a mysterious piece of music. (7.7)

Director: Jay Chou
Writers: Jay Chou (story), Chi-long To
Stars: Jay Chou, Gwei Lun-Mei, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang
Language: Mandarin (w/ English subtitles)

This story of a young romance with a mysterious twist in the middle is quite heartwarming and captivating. Those who recognize classical piano tunes will have a smile seeing some of the scenes. Apparently Jay Chou has a huge fan following (for his more contemporary music and acting) and he has not disappointed them the first film as the director. A tiny bit of the story is, apparently, from his own experience in the same school as in the movie. Good acting, nice music and good cinematography. My Rating: 7.0
