Mei shao nian zhi lian

I just finished watching this a few hours back... I was sceptical to watch at first but it turn out to be much better than I expected... this is Daniel Wu most earliest work and yet he was great in it as for Stephen Fung too

You can't help but to finished up the movie to get where it ends.. like the popular saying rather to have loved and lost and never to love at all best describes the movie.. the struggle for Sam in the family is so surreal.. the expectation from the family the pressure Sam is giving to himself and finally succumbing to the ending was well written.. the final letter given to him for Jet for closure is so powerful and meaningful.

Loves that live in the heart cannot be so easily terminated by time... no one can change the direction.of love that lives in the heart.

Straight model actors are certainly far removed from the typical gay man. I found as did many the actors to be beautiful, but that was the main attraction for the film. I found the substance of the film to be disappointing. Any character who was not beautiful was generally portrayed as one who prayed on those who were. A gay film that represents the diversity of gay people would have been much more to my liking.

Are you tired of seeing films with pretty gay boys wandering through a Freshmen magazine glossy world who are constantly given the opportunity to take off their shirts? Well, I am and therefore this film was a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious eye-candy but the boy-meets-boy boy-gets-boy boy-loses-boy storyline is tired and the characters are flat and dull. Will some film maker (other than the brilliant John Greyson) realize that the gay film-going audience wants more, needs more, and deserves more?

The look of the film is glossy and polished as are the stars of the film. The story unfolds and follows the life of a young Hong Kong police officer as he gets involved with another young and cute guy. The ending line in the story is quite profound regarding love; knowing that you have found it, but not knowing where it will lead you. This is one I would like in my DVD collection.

I really don't understand how this movie is a failure. The story is well-organized, the music is awesome and the castings are good-looking. The story focuses on Jet's love-life in particular and gay world in general thru 4 main characters, Jet, Sam, Ah Ching and K.S, who are all connected with each other somehow. The message from the movie just could be perceived that the love between people of the same sex is just as strong and fervent as normal male and female love, or maybe even stronger. The movie just wants to tell us about a homosexual love, to show us what lays beneath the seemingly disgusting caresses and kisses between two men are true feelings from every beat of their hearts. But they can not be free to live with their true feelings because of social prejudice against gay and duties with their family. The contradictions in their minds could not be easily justified so gay-themed movies usually have an unhappy ending with one of the two seeking for death as a solution, an escape. Moreover, the movie also portrays a dark rubbish world of hustlers with extreme disgrace and even pain in their hearts and bodies. If you view this movie with your ready bias against gay people or just attach too much importance to some of its trivial things, then you could definitely not perceive its message. No matter what criticism it may receive, I really think this movie could touch hearts.
