Cape No. 7 - 海角七号

The brief love story between a rebellious youth (played by Fan YiChen) and the often yelling Japanese Girl, moves the whole movie forward - this is unreal and somewhat irritating.

I was touched, however by the Songs in the movie, namely

中孝介 Atari Kosuke - 各自遠颺 

微風告知春天來訪 紛紛綻放的花朵香氣裡 令人想起遠方的妳 如春日陽光守護下綻放的花朵 未來 希望之光也會照耀我們吧 我們各自踏上各自所選擇的道路 在未來的某日綻放笑容 直到重逢時 當初許下的約定 是我們心中描繪的 想像中未來的顏色 我們各自踏上各自所選擇的道路 在未來的某日綻放笑容 直到重逢時 各自選擇的道路 在未來的某日綻放笑容 直到重逢時 

For his distinct soulful vocal - i was instantly hooked on this song. The Chinese translation of its wretchedly beautiful Japanese lyrics to share.

  范逸臣 - 海角七號_國境之南

 For the beautiful composition and music arrangements.

And the good work of the movie director in portraying the feelings and everyday life of these Taiwanese. This film certainly should be credited for its good attempt; otherwise it's been over-rated. Some gal-friends watched it 4 times; i would, but only for the last 30 mins of the movie where it stages their live seaside concert.
