Caught "The Leap Years" by Wong Li Lin over the weekend.
Contrary to the bad ratings from the various movie reviews, I actually thought it was quite a decent effort by Raintree Pictures and it seems that many other netizens feel the same way too.
Wong Li Lin really deserves a mention here.
A huge part of the movie's success can be credited to her superb natural portrayal of her character.
She subtly engages the audience to feel her emotions of joy, loss, dissapointment, resentment, shock and bliss through her years as a young student to a mature businesswoman
I like how there are quotes that pop out now and then during the movie on a calendar that hangs on the wall. Below are a few of my favourites:
In three words, I can sum up everything I've learnt about life: It goes on
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Coincidence is god's way of remaining anonymous.
In short, a very good romantic movie that tugs at one's heartstrings. =)
Thumbs up for it! :D
