Do u ever cried over a lyric? This is the only song that i cried over the lyric... it is so touching and so meaningful, but it make more sense if you watch the movie 1st ~ Cape no 7.

This movie alone is very funny, and very meaningful... is a mixture of languages, of Mandarin, Hokkien (dialect) and Japanese.

Whats more interesting is the director of the movie Wei Te-Sheng where he have to refinance his home and into debts in order to produce this beautiful piece of movie which grossed 2nd top film in the country's cinematic history, behind Titanic.

And the mode of promoting this movie was WORD OF MOUTH :D

Spoiler alert...."i Think"...
P.S: Suitable for those who dont want to watch the movie...

The movie setting was at a Taiwan small town, where a ex band singer came back after attempt at the town fail (i think), and obtained a part timer job as a Postman. There was a package that address to "non receiver add" which was suppose to return it to the sender at Japan. (a bit of history, Japan once occupied the land of Taiwan which is why alot of older generation Taiwanese speak Japanese... they called their mother Okasan mean mother).

But this postman instead of returning it to the sender at Japan, he opened the package. Inside of the package consist of 7 love letters by a Japanese teacher to his Taiwanese lover who was separated when the war end where the Japanese have to go back to Japan.

the 7 letters consist of his journey on board as well as the memories they have together. In the movie, the lead actor, read the letter one by one in different part of the movie with the voice over by Kousuke Atari (who acted as the Japanese teacher and Himself as guest of a concert)

One day the lead actress found out about the letters and urge lead actor to send to the recipient without any clues.... but of course happy ending always awaits this kind of movie.

The last scene of the movie where the Taiwanese lover saw the letters make me burst into tears.... it was so TOUCHING!

Im bad with actors and actress name, and i hardly know any Taiwanese actors or actresses....


Worth Watching :D
