sweet

One of the important reasons for the success of this film is that it evokes memories of Teresa Teng.

Speaking of Teresa Teng, I used to think that her singing was too sweet most of the time. All I can live with is a handful of her songs, including this famous "Sweet Honey."

Recently, I watched a lot of TV shows recalling Teresa Teng, and only then did I know that the meaning of this song to her is also extraordinary. This is the song she sang at the wedding of her third brother, who had the best relationship with her.

Do you know how many celebrities have covered this song? The CCTV Music Channel program mentioned 4 versions with different styles, including Zheng Jun's rock version and Black Duck's chorus version.

Back to the movie itself. The success of the film also benefits from the ingenuity of screenwriter Kishi. Don't be too obsessed with too many coincidences in the film. The so-called coincidence is not a book. What's more, the two came together after all the vicissitudes of life, and the coincidences in the film are not too ingenious. For example, the last two people finally reunited because of listening to Teresa Teng's songs, which is more natural.

Director Chen Kexin also contributed a lot. From the protagonist to the supporting role, the performances are all accurate and impressive. Among them, Maggie Cheung and Liming's many rival scenes are especially praised.

Rating: 10 out of 10
