——All About Love

The reesons why I selected the film "All About Love" for my target film are its touching feeling and successful acting. The director of this movie was Yu Weiguo in Hongkong, and the first time of releasing was the autumn of 2005. All About Love is a typical love movie which includs the complicated relationships among family members. The famous movie star, Andy Lau (Liu Deihua), was the main actor, while Charlie Yeung (Yang Caini) and Charlene Choi (Cai Zhuoyan) were the main actress in this movie. The story of this film is mainly focus on the complex relationship among the three figures above, but it clearly displayed the truth love related to people's whole life.

First of all, I was attracted by the brief introduction to the plot online of this movie, and the attractive plot and vivid story roles led me to be interested in this movie. In the movie, Andy acts as doctor Gao, he is hard working and always devotes himself to his career. In his daily life, Andy tries his best to save people's lives, and works until late night. However, the day in and day out work make him neglects his hamily, and seldom to company with his life. Charlene in this movie acts a special mature woman who played a wife, and loves her husband deeply. She often makes delicious dishes to wait for her husband, Gao, going back home from work. Sometimes, she goes to hospital to see her husband when she feels lonely. Even though, she is quite disappointed as the less private time together with her husband, she still cares about Gao with the power of love. She nevel told her unhappy to her husband, instead, she write them down in a diary as her personal secret between her and her husband. However, Gao does not realize the importance of his wife until a sudden traffic accident happens. Since then, he feels seriously guilt and changes his job to a person who gives first-aid. His life turn to so regular and boring, but he thinks it should be a punishment for his previous behaviour pattern of living. In a certain traffic accident, Gao breaks common rules and saves a pretty woman called Chen, who is acted by Charlie. The appearance of Chen opens the closed heart of Gao in his life. Gao finds that Chen's husband is a famous hairdresser called Derek in Hongkong, additionly, Derek is a handsome man and popular among women. In the first impression of audience, Derek just looks like the twin of Gao but has quite different characteristics from Gao. Derek is also busy with his work and loses the passion with Chen. Finally, in one quarrel, he goes to Japan and leaves his wife who gets a serious heart disease. Gao can find the used him from this man, and Chen also has a soft place in Gao's heart as the short period of life. Therefore, he decides to disguise himself as Derek and give unforgettable memories to Chen instead of his husband. This behaviour make him hardly to compenstate to his real life, but he never regret. Finally, as Chen's husband, Derek comes back in her last minutes of life..

After finishing to watch the movie with tears in my eyes, I understood what the main truth is in people's life. People always do not know how to treasure somebody and something until the later arriving of understanding about loses. The whole movie reflects the particular plot and masterly acting techniques. In my opinion, the special technique is that Andy Lau acts to different roles, Gao and Derek, separately. These two figures have various levels of status and temperament. It is a challenge of the actor and he should spend a lot of energy and ideas to practice how to act both of the two different rloes well. Gao is a figure who is despondent and wordless, while Derek is a man with extroversion temper. The director also designs some extraordinary scenes to strengthen the expression which the movie try to indicate. There are some special scenes in my memories, such as the various festivals which are celebrated between Gao and Chen. Gao wishes the time can pass quickly, so Chen could enjoy more happiness in her last life. In fact, there are a large number of simple symbols to make up of this movie. A simple symbol is especially designated in order to imply the particular meaning. For instance, the simple symbol that Gao and Chen dancing in the snow, on Christmas Day. That is really a beautiful genre which shows the pure love and desire for living in front of the audiences. After Derek coming back to Chen, Chen could leave the world peacefully. Besides, Chen knows the fact that Gao is not Derek even if they look like the same. Indeed, she is grateful for the good intention of Gao, and writes a letter to express the true feeling to Gao instead of his dead wife. After reading this letter, Gao is able to release his pressure and forgive himself in the end of the movie Then the sky light at the last scene means the hope of the life without sadness.

In the world, different people pursue different lives, within love. Some people want the passion of love just for a moment, others desire the love for a long time like family emotion. However, honesty is the most important feelings of a person. I consider that honesty could link the communication in two hearts. I admire the ideology of the director and the perfect acting techniques of the actors and actresses. The movie gave me a memorable time for nearly two hours. This is the reason why I review this movie and want more and more people to gain pleasure and comprehension.
