Deeply moving and haunting afterward

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2006)

I am gay and from Taiwan.
I am so happy that not only because this movie reaffirmed my 2 identities (being a gay and a Taiwanese). But also this masterpiece really make an unusual (soulful-)Impact on my mind.
Just finished my 3rd viewing and it's still haunting me. Still feel the sorrow inside me.
*
The first time I saw it, when I was leaving the playing room and just getting into the elevator, I can't control myself but my hand fluttered and was unable to dial my cell phone (I was trying to dial it and wanted to call my friend to detract the emotion I had from seeing the movie).
*
Then, I irrepressibly burst into tears in the crowded elevator and keep sobbing on the way home.
How could a movie that is considered with very flat tempo, very plain and simple plot make such impact on me?
I am still trying to figure out why....

Love is a force of nature.
And may the force be with us!
