I watched this movie quite unexpectedly because I thought I could have never find someone to watch this show with me. After all, it is a local production and not many people know how to appreciate it, preferring Hollywood movie with all the big stars and effects. I have known the story before I watched the movie, because when I was small my father borrowed books from the library for me to read and a couple of them was written by Dr Catherine Lim and one of those book was about this movie: The Leap Years. And don't ask why boy read book by Dr Catherine Lim ok!
The movie was nice..though I felt it's a bit draggy in the end. Nevertheless, I like the way they blend the Chinese culture using the Chinese calender and the quotes from the western poets together. And I find it all very interesting and much relevant to the story:
"In three words, I can sum up everything I've learn about life: it goes on."- Robert Frost
"If you are not too long, I will wait for you all my life."- Oscar Wilde
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves. William Shakespeare
There was also a part in the movie which touch a nerve in me when the actor mentioned that he admired people for their bravery who preferred to be single and wait for the right one than rather get attached for the fear of being lonely. I don't know whether I fit the description but at least it hold true for me. I don't simply want to get attach for the sake of getting attach. And my fren was telling me that my standard are way too high and I should go to neighboring countries to expand my search instead..grrrrrr
All in all, watch it with your mr. or mrs right. It's a nice and warm movie. I like it and I guessed you might like it as well.
