a promise

I don't fancy the english name of this movie very much since I don't like the word 'affair'. why is it an affair? neither the man nor the woman was married when they fall in love with each other. The chinese translation is wonderful, telling you what's the story about: a promise.(omg, as soon as I saw the promise, I thought of [Wuji], Chen Kaige is so hateful...)

Maybe I would never watch such an old movie if were not the movie 'Seattle Sleepless', when Meg Ryan and other girls were crying over it again and again. Nevertheless, it's a great movie. And one of the greatest thing in it is that how stupid a man can be, that Cary Grant havn't realized the truth until the very end. Another greatest thing is the ending, not so much a happy ending but it leaves us hope. Perfect!

Haven't shed tears for a movie for long, this one really worths crying.

    Did not expect the plot to be such a bitter development. I like the playful first half, and the second half shows the bitter "reality". The game between pure passion and material life corresponds to the hero and heroine's pursuit of art and the wrestling of the cruel market. In the end, I found that the one who appreciates me is the one I love the most, and only by giving up can I have it.

    Must see. Very classic. Fun, music is good. Yearning for that elegant era. Clues to "Sleepless in Seattle".
