... View MoreFew days back i bought some DVDs to pass my vacation. Secret was one of those. I bought it without any idea what its going to be. But after watching this movie I am like WOW!!Jay Chou is really a talented. His direction skill is fascinating. He takes you back to your school life. Where there is most pure thing of the world "adolescence love", where you got funny friends and teachers. All these elements you will get in Secret. The scores are also amazing. But the main strength of Secret is its screenplay and story, which is beautifully told. The whole movie is very engaging. Twist comes at the time when you start to think now something should happen. The twist takes the movie in the new level. Now come to the acting. Many people think that Jay Chou should have casted someone else in his character. I wont say that. He was much decent. But the performance you will never forget was given by Kwai Lun- Mei. She brought the innocence in her character in amazing way. The depth she brought to her character was mind blowing. You will start to laugh and cry with her. Her acting is one of the power of this movie. Besides Alice Tzeng,Anthony Wong and Ye Xiang Lun's friends (rugby players) acted convincingly.Scenes to watch All the romantic scenes between Xiao Yu and Xiang Lun. Specially don't miss the Qing Tian Wa Wa song's Scene.After watching this movie I am recommending this movie to everyone I meet. Don't miss it.
... View MoreUnbelievably amazing! As the first movie of Jay, it's much beyond my expectation. I should say I contempt the action that once a music star gains his fame,he quickly transits to be an actor or even editor. But to Jay ,I have to admitted he won my respect. I am really longing for his next work.The story is begined with a romantic affection between two students in high school.The girl has a secret that is shown at the end of the story.The color of the movie is so good that I am sanked in it.I watched this film twice,and I completely understood the whole plot during the second time.The structure of the film is contrived carefully.The truth is so moving with the thrilling rhythm of the secret music.
... View MoreAt his debut as a movie director ,Jay Chou has showed us what "perfect"is,just like what he's always bringing to us in his extraordinary pop music.As the hottest pop star in China,all the time Jay Chou is suffering all kinds of criticism,even virulent personal attack. However,he never gives in facing the rumors and never gives up pursuing his dreams ,including creating music and movies of his own,some of which has come true.Jay has a biggest target that he wishes to make Chinese pop music world-famous before he's 30 .No matter whether the target can be reached,he's the best,which is the most important.
... View MoreI personally thought that the plot was rather exciting and intriguing. Jay Chou must definitely have put in much effort into making this movie. His first movie-making attempt is pretty much a success, I must say. He's even got very positive reviews and comments from award-winning directors from Asia.Although the plot needed some thinking to be able to understand it fully, I thought this show was pretty original- a far cry from many other love stories produced. This love story was genuine and not like many other cliché stories you can find in the movie market. The actors and actresses put up remarkable jobs too. I personally feel that Jay Chou has made a great improvement with regards to his once-stagnant facial expressions. His co-star Guey Lun-mei's acting did not fail to impress too- for a neophyte selected by Jay Chou himself, her acting was breezy and natural.The whole story is filled with love, passion for music and excellent piano pieces. My favorite parts were the piano battle, as well as the piano duet. I thought that Jay Chou's piano-playing was fabulous. He, indeed, lived up to his label as "musical genius".Overall the movie was great. I watched it twice, and both times I still cried and laughed the same as before. Although I'm merely fifteen and hence my mentalities may be a cry away from some readers and movie-watchers here, I think that this show is one that you should catch. You will not regret it! :)
