*~~Movie that you should watch this summer~~*
( Asked by Alan)
不能说的秘密
This movie have already hit the theaters and is a great romantic film that talks about a star crossed lover. Acted by the famous singer/director Jay Chou, Kwan Lun Mei and Golden Horse Award winner for Best Male Actor, Anthony Wong.
The movie starts out when Ye Xiang Lun/叶湘伦 (Jay Chou also known as Jay in the movie) is being transferred to Tanjiang Arts School as a 3rd year grad student. The principal of this school is his father and Jay is the Music student in this school. Sky (Tseng Kai-xuan) showed Jay to the old piano building which is designated to be demolished on the night of their graduation day. Jay then went on to check out the building himself. He chanced upon the old piano room when he heard someone playing the piano and he saw Xiao Yu/路小雨 (Kwan Lun Mei) putting a book onto the shelf (the book will be the "Secret" manuscript revealed later) when he opened the door. Xiao Yu left when Jay probe her name. On the way home, Jay met Xiao Yu and sent her home on his bike, Xiao Yu then reveald her name to Jay.
Jay had a piano showdown with the popular piano student in school named Howe over a manuscript called Le Cygne (The Swan). Howe and Jay tied but he still gave Jay the manuscript. Jay had more interaction with Xiao Yu and found that she was a good piano player too and they shared a duet, crossing their hands to play.
Jay is unaware that Sky became more and more attached and fond of him when he was in class. He continues to spend time with Xiao Yu and brought her to the CD shop where Xiao Yu found out that Jay likes the song 《情人的眼淚》" Lovers Tears" which she likes too.
Xiao Yu brought Jay to look at the sea when Jay found out she have asthma. Jay presented the Le Cygne to Xiao Yu as a gift and Xiao Yu confessed her love for Jay, they shared a kiss on the bench.
At class, Jay send a note to Xiao Yu asking her to meet him at 7pm in the old piano room. Little did he knows, Sky appeared at 7pm and Jay unknowingly probe her to give him a kiss. Xiao Yu saw the scene and ran. Jay, shocked, ran after Xiao Yu but lost sight. Xiao Yu never appear again even in class and it makes Jay sad.
Jay tried to visit Xiao Yu at her house but was rejected at her door by an old lady. On the day of graduation, Jay was performing on stage when he saw Xiao Yu and run after her in the middle of the performance. Jay went back to perform and left again to look for Xiao Yu when he met Lance and Bob.
Jay asked Lance and Bob whether they have seen the girl he brought to the dance which is Xiao Yu, it struck him when they replied that he was dancing all alone that night. That explains why mysterious things was happening like the time.
Jay was thinking over these events on Xiao Yu's desk when words began to appear which wrotes "I am Xiao Yu", "I Love You" and "Do you Love me?".
Jay went to Xiao Yu's house and the old lady showed him her room, the old lady explain that the "Lovers' Tear" that was playing in the background is the song she and her boyfriend liked very much, He found the Le Cynge manuscript in her room and the old lady find a potrait in between the book resembling Jay.
At home, Jay asked his father (Anthony Wong/ 黄秋生) about Xiao Yu, he revealed that Xiao Yu was a good piano player but was a day-dreamer. She lived 20 years ago in 1979 and then he was her class teacher. She had problems with love and revealed that she founded a manuscript under the old piano called "Secret". The instructions inside is as followed "Follow the notes upon the journey, At First sight marks one's destiny, Once the voyage comes to an end, Return lies within hasty keys."
This manuscript when being played will bring someone to the past. The first person she sees will be able to see her but not everyone else. It just happens the first time she performs the time travel, the first person she see is Jay making a tour around the school. No one can see her so she turned to Jay. But everytime she performs a time-travel, she have to find Jay so that she can allow Jay to see her. She needs 108 steps from the room to Jay's class to look at Jay but she aint lucky all the time and will see other students which will allow them to see her. The night Jay wishes to see her at 7pm, she time traveled but saw the retard janitor, York, who appears normal 20 years ago. Therefore Jay could not see Xiao Yu when she ran. Jay's Dad thought she was suffering from mental illness and asked her mother and students to help improve her condition.
She was saddened by everyone treating her as a mental patient.
Xiao Yu is rejected by her friends at graduation day and she time travelled back to see Jay, only to discover him wearing the charm Sky was wearing but she dint know it was given to him as a lucky charm for his performance on stage. She was upset and went back to her time. She sat at her table in Jay's class when she wrote the note that Jay received 20 years later. Her Asthma stuck her as she wrote her notes in tears and she died on the table as she did not bring her inhaler.
Jay ran out immediatly to the school and went into the room that is going to be demolished by the team outside. His father discovered Xiao Yu's note on the manuscript "Secret" which reveals that her love is Jay, his son! and ran after Jay.
Jay played "Secret" on the old piano solely using his memory as Xiao Yu had played once for him. He was transferred back to the past as he strike the last key just before the iron ball demolished the room.
Jay returned to the past but as he was playing too fast on the piano, he returned too far into the future when Xiao Yu had not met Jay.
Jay stayed in the past and the movie ended with Jay appearing in the Graduation photo with Xiao Yu inside 20 years ago.

A young boy named Alfredo Linguini have no cooking talents, performs janitorial duties in the restaurant and is constently bullied by the chefs. Fate brought Rémy and Linguini together when Linguini spilled the soup in the kitchen. He tried to cover it up by randomly adding ingredients. Rémy helped by improving the soup secretly when Linguni caught Rémy and Skinner caught them both in the kitchen.
Linguini is not fired owing to the only woman in the kitchen, Colette. Rémy and Linguini then became partners which Rémy controls Linguini's movement by tugging his hair under his chef hat.
