yay, more promoting of taiwan films! i really think taiwan makes the best gay films. the only one i saw from hong kong had DANIEL WU, and that's like, really really hot, but it was so tragic and has all sorts of pervy embarassing scenes. i like watching Queer as Folks for kicks, but like what emily says, it's oversexed, and there's not enough ANGST.
here's THE thing that's been plaguing me for the past week, it's called 盛夏光年, it opened just Oct in taiwan and everywhere except singapore. it's a teenage high school context, so there's all this unrequited love and love triangles and 'if i tell you you'll hate me' things that i'm actually a closet sucker for, AND I REALLY WANT TO WATCH IT AND I HATE THE GOVERNMENT AND OMG I REALLY REALLY WANT TO WATCH IT!!! the two leading actors got nominated for 金馬獎 for best new actor, one of them won. 楊祐寧 won the same award for Formula 17 too. see, if you want to win a 金馬獎, just star in a gay movie and show some abs! :D
here's the trailer:
omg i melted with angst at the part where 正行 shoved 守恆 at the bus stop. here's the official mtv with one of the theme songs. the song makes it sad:
notice when 正行 mentioned to 守恆 that there was this cute girl in class, and 守恆 went 'you like her?' and continued eating noodles. omg, heart is breaking! *cries*
and this is the mtv with the main theme, the singer is 阿信 from 五月天. it's quite angry:
i can't wait for this to be released on dvd XD i can't believe there isn't a single torrent on it... but if they put it on yesasia i'll buy it straight away. grr! the actors here look so super young... when they promoted the film on variety shows, they looked so cao lao, but they really look innocent and 17-year-old in the film. *HEART* it's just so *raw*, and so *young*, the themes of the movie, like piercing ears for your friend in the bathroom and all the 'i don't want you to hate me, but i don't want to be just friends anymore'.
*god*, and people actually watch *korean dramas*. don't they have anything better to watch??
