[那些年，我們一起追的女孩]
[You are the apple of my eye]
This is a Taiwanese movie that’s currently showing in the cinemas here in Hong Kong. I just watched it today. It’s about a bunch of boys who all chase after this one girl (one of the boys just decided to chase her because all his friends did, and he didn’t want to be left behind). It’s funny, heart-warming and cute all in one. I’m usually not a fan of romantic comedy, but this movie was quite spectacular.
It left a warm fuzzy feeling deep inside of me. The movie really hit home. The movie begins in 1994, a time before cell phones were popular, before internet was a part of our daily lives, and before kids were rude and antisocial (just my speculation). This reminded me of school days, where we would pull pranks on each other, play basketball, run after each other, and learn silly magic tricks. Times are different now and when we’re bored, we just whip out our phones and play the latest games. Or we entertain ourselves with watching YouTube. We no longer have to think of things to play or do because we just log onto Facebook.
The characters, the scenes, they all reminded me of someone, something that had happened. I laughed so much. Cried with them. Thought of all the earth-shattering events that happened but weren’t really that big of a deal now that I think of it. I thought of all the boys I had a crush on. All the boys who confessed their love for me. The love letters. Folding stars with straws. Making paper cranes. Writing silly notes. Everything came flooding back.
What were your high school days like? I hope they were as wonderful as mine. :)
