I rarely watch Chinese films because most of the ones I saw were exaggerated, too much CG effects but less storyline. This one is one of the few I'd watched and enjoyed, even made it as one of my Hall of Fame movies. Only less than hundred out of tens of thousands of movies I ever watched made it to the Hall of Fame; most are Hollywood movies; the rest are Japanese, Korean, British and French movies.
The movie is about hardworking mute girl and lazy lunch-box delivery boy. The girl had no extra time to play around because she had to earn the money to support her mute sister, a Paralympic swimmer. On the other hand, the boy had so much time to fool around 'cuz he's the pampered child of a restaurant owner parents. Most of the time, I thought I'm watching a silent film because most of the scenes were hand gesture conversation. I'm not saying that it's boring but very interesting because this is my first time for this type of movie. There's a plot twist near the end and you'll be surprised by that. That's why I won't spoiled it anymore.
I'll just express my feelings in number and recommend some of my favorite movies. My rating systems are purely based on the overall feeling of the entire movie and just for expressing emotion numerically in a set format.
