reminiscing my first crush

I was expecting some amazing goofy moments as the synopsis suggests that, all the guys of the group had a crush on the top student. Watching the film is like having a time machine, bringing me back to those days when I was in school. When you get approached by a student who doesn't pat you but pricks you with a pen so that they don’t touch you, slowly involving in your life having little secrets and some amazing selfless acts. Which eventually gets you a crush on the other but as time goes by we make mistakes and time heals them. The only thing which remains is friendship and memories
This movie feels like keeping a reminder of the crush you had in school back then, possesing the title YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYES.
While the opening scene was picked from a climax scene, which holds up the expectation of Happy Ending, but then the next scene takes you into high school with an epic dose of friendship.

this movie reminds me of the English movie American Pie. though this movie an ordinary backdrop with ordinary characters which we see every day, which connects with people so well. They were both young, naive, and incapable of understanding what was best for them. But it's a movie I couldn’t enjoy with my family with excessive naked scenes and p*rn stuff. It did add a humorous aspect with all the crazy BGM, but I won't be able to appreciate it when the other half of the story was so profound and beautiful.

The end was delightful to watch with a realistic approach. That beautiful shot in the banquet hall, even though is imaginary, serves as a bittersweet closure. CRUSH is like a cherished memory, even though we are not with them still we wish them a good life.

Zéro affinité

Je ne dirai pas que c'est mauvais. Ce n'est juste pas ma tasse de thé.
La réalisation est plutôt bonne, avec un dynamisme certain. Mais.

1. Je ne suis pas du tout fan de cette ambiance crue et provocatrice. Le délire du type "american pie" ne me fait pas sourire. La fameuse et délirante scène dans la classe (ceux qui l'auront vu, sauront de quoi je parle) est plutôt originale et je peux comprendre que cela puisse plaire. Je la trouve pour ma part assez choquante... Le film est donc parsemé de ces scènes qui sans tomber dans le voyeurisme n'en sont pas moins "lourdes". Cela me dérange cette image de ces futurs adultes, qui vivent dans la crasse, à poil, se m***** à longueur de journée ou qui s'en donnent à coeur joie sous la douche. Je ne suis pas pour ma normalité. Mais pour la diversité. Oubliez ici l'homme timide, l'homme viril, l'homme blasé, l'homme intelligent, l'homme droit, l'homme violent, l'homme fidèle....non, ils sont tous pareil, ne pensant tous qu'à une chose. Assez dégradant, n'est-ce pas?
2. et les femmes dans tout cela? Elles n'ont surement pas le beau rôle. Un rôle extra secondaire comme les mères. secondaire comme la copine qui ne sert à rien. Ou comme l'héroïne, pure comme la neige et qui selon moi n'a au final aucun caractère. Je pense encore friendzone où j'ai trouvé Palm tellement marrante, délirante et adorable, en comparaison, Chia Yi est fade. C'est dommage, je la trouvais jolie avec un magnifique sourire...
3. La romance....La fin ne me dérange pas. Mais il faut avouer que l'alchimie n'est pas ce qui brille dans ce film, même si elle n'est pas non plus mauvaise. Mais je n'ai pu à aucun moment ressentir leur amour l'un pour l'autre. Leur intérêt oui. Mais, je dirais que c'est tout.

Je n'ai donc pas su trouver quelque chose à m'accrocher, et bien que cela ne soit pas un mauvais film, c'est loin d'être un truc qui me fasse rêver ou rire pendant 1h40...et la version japonaise, sans être autant provocante, ne fait que reprendre les même ficelles, ce qui me laisse penser que c'est donc l'histoire qui n'a pas su me toucher.

Ah...j'ai oublié, la seule chose qui a su me toucher, et je dois l'admettre, c'est aussi ce qui m'a fait venir vers ce film : la chanson....Je trouve la chanson juste magnifique!

an apple to my eye

• Taiwan | movie
• it has 1 hr & 49 min runtime
★ Starring Kai Ko and Michelle Chen

• this movie reminded me of the taiwanese movie "Our Times"
• i bawled my eyes out. kinompose ko pa sarili ko for this review kasi i was devastated. ganito 'yung nafeel ko nung may nagreco din sa'kin ta's hindi ako nawarningan na nakakaiyak. It is also recommended to me, nakakainis kasi hindi ako prepared. i thought it's just a simple straight romance */nagcry at hinagis 'yung tv/
• ang dami kong naalala here na nagpaaalala sa'king masarap maging estudyante kapag may tropa kang puro kalokohan & masaya makipagkaibigan sa mga lalaki. ay beh iba rin magseryoso sa pag-aaral mga bartikal, proven and tested. way back in elem, nakipagbeat din sa'kin one classmate ko ta's unexpectedly nataasan pa score ko kaya hindi ko na inulit hahahaha he used to be a good friend of mine. tulad nila, naranasan ko rin mapalabas sa klase, magsquat, maging childish, ma-in love, mabroken at makuntento---pero hindi ako kuntento sa ending nito tnginuhh
• kaya malapit ang loob ko sa mga troublemaker kasi masarap sila magmahal, immature or childish man sila kung titignan, iba 'yung nabibigay nilang saya at comfort sa taong special sa kanila.
• do'n pa lang sa part na concern si chia yi sa grades ni ko teng, may good feelings na e. why does she bother abt sa grades eh hindi naman niya kaano ano diba? she likes him first, desisyon ako! she likes him first, but he fell harder gano'n
• kaya pala ako pinasaya nung una kasi babawiin sa bittersweet ending
• nakakainis, nakakainiss, supeeer nakakainisss!!😠😡😠😡
• hindi mo na naman ako binigo, taiwan. a 9/10 for my shed tears T___T
