What I loved most: The music & the piono scenes, nice cinematography
What I really hated: Predictable storyline & secret, lack of chemistry between the main leads
The secret is out - accomplished musician Jay Chou is suprisingly also a good film director but his acting skill is still lacking. For his directorial debut, Secret is an above average film for this first time film maker. It is a film that delved into high school love story that go beyond time between Lum (JAY CHOU) and a mysterious fellow classmate Yu @ Rain (KWAI LUN-MEI). Met at the school's music room, both of them are passionate about music and piano. Yu's constant disapperance from the classroom has turn the music room as the secret rendevous place for this 2 lovers. She is also keeping a secret from Lum - the melody that she played on the piano when they first met. When Yu disappeared from school due to a misunderstanding between the two of them, Lum went to her house looking for her - only to realise later that she is the school girl who stands next to his teacher father (ANTHONY WONG) in a photo taken in the 80s - a secret that she has been keeping from him. Being a film that revolves around music, the film's music score is really captivating to the extend that its over shadow the other aspect within the film itself. The film's cinematograhy is also nicely done with scenes of the countrysie (mountain,river,beach) truely capture the mood of the young lovers. However, Jay Chou need to improve himself to be a better thespian - there are lack of chemistry between him and the female lead eventhough they are lovers in the film. Nevertheless, this is still a commendable directorial debut from this Taiwanese heart throb - a good watch even if you are not a fan of Jay Chou.

The story was really really farfetched, but somehow it was made to work. Jay chou may so far have only proven to be a one-dimensional actor, but he is really convincing in that direction. The show was much better than what i expected and there were many segments woven together to hold my attention throughout the show. Pretty good.

What I loved most: Every single second of the movie.
What I really hated: Not Applicable
Unlike every other love-themed movie, this one has a twist that you couldn't predict. This movie was perfectly made; I have to admit, Jay Chou was pretty good at acting this time. The graphics were top-notch, I haven't seen romance-themed movies with special effects as good as this one had. Overall, this was the best romantic movie I've seen ever. I wouldn't bother watching it everyday - time well spent.
