Bu Neng Shuo De. Mi Mi (2007)
A great surprise in every way
I just watched this movie last night for the first time, and I was expecting a decent foreign film, one that would be merely entertaining. What I got instead was likely the most interesting, attention-grabbing, thoughtful movies I have seen in some time. What I thought, originally, to be a decent plot, one that's been done over and over again, turned out to have me glued to the screen from the first scene. The characters weren't just believable, they were very easy to relate to and they were superbly acted out. What I also liked about the characters is that there is not necessarily any one with antagonist intentions. Every character is easy to relate to, which only compliments the characters of Jay and Rain. The music was riveting, really helped with the characterization. I never felt like the movie was moving too slow, or too fast, it just felt right and I lost myself in it. This is a prime example of what movies should be, something everyone can like. Maybe I'm just reacting from my initial shock at how good it was, but even if I am, I don't think I'll feel like I need to retract anything I've said here. This is just a really good movie, and I highly recommend it.
