Dei ha tit

5/18/18. It was all right. A fluffy, soapy rom-com about a con man who learns about love from a blind woman who teaches him what it's like to be blind when he becomes that way.. Probably should have been dubbed.If you like Tony Leung, catch this!

I really enjoyed this movie because it of its simplicity. It's a unique chick flick, that's for sure. A lot of American chick flicks these days just aren't realistic such as Chasing Liberty, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days, Maid in Manhattan etc. The characters in those flicks are either wealthy/well-off or later become well off. The characters in Sound of Colors are common middle class people who unexpectedly find their love. I think it was really cute how Ming and Hoi Yeuk came together. The thing is they initially didn't have feelings for each other (neither hate nor love at first sight). They fell in love after Ming was blind and got to know each other. Dong and Jie also fell in love after traveling together a lot in the subway. Everything just fits together naturally. This movie also has a very diverse soundtrack including French, Korean, and Mandarin tracks. Tony Leung and Miriam Yeung sing the lovely dute "Maze" (mi gong) and Elva sings "Subway" (di xia tie), both songs are awesome.

Sound of Color had a really cool website, nice publicity photos, and Tony Leung-Chiu Wai, so I'm not sure if I ended up not liking the movie because the hype was hard to top, but I was disappointed. The story wasn't great, and the visuals were boring. They really could have done more with how the picture looked, since it could have helped the story.

A lot of movies are shallow and some shallow movies are okay, but the subject of Sound of Color had a lot of potential to become a good story, so it was a shame that the film's writers did not go further.

They got good actors who couldn't do a good job because the script did not demand much from them. This movie has exactly one scene with emotional impact.

I tried watching it fast forward and I liked it better. I paid $6.80 for this movie and I wish I could get my money back.
