Review of Cape No. 7

The most heart touching part is absolutely the letters. Please read my comment if you didn't get it. The letters tell the story which happened long long time ago, that after the war, a Japanese man had no choice but to follow the order, retreat from Taiwan back to Japan and leave his beloved Taiwanese girl behind, without confronting the feeling that the girl had for him. He had no choice, because there was war between Japan and Taiwan (China), no one could be happy whether he stayed or took the girl with him. During the sea trip, he wrote down all his love and regret with the purest words. Then he hided the secret deep deep inside his heart, and acted for the rest of his life as if nothing had ever happened. The letters were never sent out until being discovered by his grandchild after his funeral. And in the present time, Aga -who's from Taiwan, and Tomoko -who's from Japan, dare show out their true feelings for each other, and they have the courage to say that they want to be together. Similar situation, totally different endings! Also the two stories are told in different ways. The plot is designed really well! The contrast between the past and the present made me realised how happy and lucky we are to live our life in this relatively peaceful time.
