Yesterday I went to SKA Mall.
Actually at first I didn't think to buy anything cuz I kind of wanted to save a little money...but when I came to a discstore, I found a very interesting DVD...
It's a Taiwanese movie and I never thought before that Taiwan has such a great movie that could set me into tears...
盛夏光年 - Eternal Summer ~Are We Friends Or Are We Lovers?~
No One Wishes To Be Lonely, Neither Do We.
That's the title of the movie...
One of the most touching romance I've ever watched..
I'll summarize it right now..
"Since he was little, Kang Zhengxing (Bryant Chang) has been assigned by his teacher to look after a roguish student named Yu Shouheng (Joseph Chang). As a good student, Kang Zhengxing do as the teacher asks. From that day, he has become Yu Shouheng's best friend and their relationship continues till senior high. Yu Shouheng becomes an expert in basketball then.
One day, there comes a new transfered student named Du Huijia (Kate Yeung) and she quickly becomes Kang Zhengxing's friend as they are in the same club. Du Huijia falls in love to Kang Zhengxing and one day they almost makes love but Kang Zhengxing can't do that with the girl. Du Huijia soon notices that Kang Zhengxing has a crush with Yu Shouheng and she asks Kang Zhengxing if that's true or not. Kang can't answer Du's question, but Du promises that she won't tell anybody about this.
As day goes by, Du comes to Yu's basket competition. At first, she has appointment with Kang to go somewhere. Du tries to call Kang, but Kang doesn't feel like to pick Du's call at that time. So Du tries to go to Yu's competition hoping that she could meet Kang, but Kang isn't there. Yu notices Du watching his play and after that they meet each other..and well... In the end of the meeting, Yu asks Du to be his lover. Du promises him that she will be his lover if Yu passes university.
Yu passes university. He and Du become lovers but Kang doesn't know about this at first. As Kang knows incidentally, he becomes depressed and asks Yu to end their friendship.. Yu can't accept this but Kang leaves him without any explaination.
Day goes by till one day the three come to a youth party. Before the party ends, depressed Kang purposely tell Yu that he only becomes Yu's friend as the teacher asked when they were in elementary and then he leaves Yu.
After hearing that from his bestfriend, Yu becomes depressed. He can't think clearly and as he rides motorcycle, he is then collided by a car. Then police calls Kang to take Yu home. Kang comes to the police station and takes Yu home.
Kang takes Yu to his place and shockingly, Yu has intention to have sex with Kang. He forcefully takes-off Kang's cloth. Kang then asks if Yu is serious or not and he nods his head pointing that he is serious and then the two make it..
The day after, before Yu is awake, Kang calls Du. He tells her that Yu is with him now and asks her to go to his place. He also asks her to always look after Yu, to always be with him..
As Du comes to Kang's place, Kang isn't there anymore. Then, Yu tells Du about his past. That he used to be a very naughty boy. Nobody wanted to be his friend till Kang came to his life and changed him day by day.. In the end, he tells Du that he doesn't want to lose neither Kang nor Du... That he can't lose them...
One day, Yu takes Kang and Du to South Taiwan. Yu stops the car on a beach. There, Kang tells Yu that he wants to end everything with Yu. Yu can't accept this and starts a fight with Kang. Du tries to calm the fight and she tells the two that she will give the two some time to talk.
Kang asks Yu.. Will Yu still consider Kang as his bestfriend after he knows about his secret... Then Kang confesses to Yu that he loves him..
In the end, Yu replies.. that Kang will always be his bestfriend. Kang cries a million tears after hearing that."
That's the end.
Actually, the story is kind of hanged for me but personally I wish Yu choosing Kang than Du. As their relationship has been built first. And Kang has been in love with the boy for a long time and I think Yu has a crush on him too but he just can't face the reality. If he doesn't, why he has intention to have sex with Kang and forcefully does that to him? More importantly, why he cares about Kang so much... and why can't he choose between Kang and Du...
Well... The film is so touching...
WTH about taboo, forbidden love, etc, cuz there is no definiton of love..
Love is blessed by God..
Love is eternity, love is divine...
Love is always the same ^^
