i watched many hong kong romantic comedies this time round
those that i have watched before but left such deep ingrained memories
that draw me back
another chance to comprehend,
with a different mentality now....

HK movies are frequently slotted with messy relationships:
guys fooling girls and girls tuned in and out of relationship
but there are several smart movies with meanings

(1) My left eye can see ghosts

with main cast Sammi Cheng and Lau Ching Wan
i cannot believe myself that i cried after so many years since watching the first one.
That first time, i cannot cry out loud as there is a friend beside me, i could only slide a finger beneath my eyes to wipe tears off silently.
i cannot control myself watching scene of 2 lovers separated by death with that kind of eternal love between them.
till death do us apart.
and even death cannot come between us.
that kind of love story broods me....

(2) Mr 3 Minutes
(the story of a playboy who fools around that he could not keep up with the girls he had) He was a 3 minutes guy.
made major business decisions, take his fast food meals and meetings in 3 minutes.
everything important could be done in 3 minutes.
even when his son by one of his girlfriend came to him, he only gave him 3 minutes per day to communicate,
then he found out that he had a tumor in his brain,
then it was the end, the list of contributions and cast and crew drew on
then the end twisted, the father and son was having a brawl playing as superheroes
the story does live up to the title of 3 minutes perception

(3) Fly me to polaris

this is an memorable movie by Cecilia Chung and Richie Ren
i cried again after the umph tens of watching
again it was by weakest point
a man already died come to the earth for 5 days to be with the one he loves so much

there are many more....that hold special meanings to me after so many years.
it was like watching a part of my own, going back to a time that i have almost forgotten
like watching history in rerun...
i enjoyed that mentality and atmosphere...that evokes my memory of the past
