Also, I saw a comment about the movie being Japanese, but in fact, these people are saying Chinese, and it is directed by a Taiwan director.
It took me a few minutes to warm up to the characters, but only a few. We meet the two girls first, a girly-girl who seems to be in control, and a brooding follower. Not much to go on with that. Girly girl spots sensitive boy and wants him, but insists that brooding girl act as the go-between.
The film focuses on the friendship that develops between brooding girl and sensitive boy after that. Brooding girl becomes razor-sharp, adorably mixed up commando teen when paired up with sensitive boy who has fallen in love with her.
This film did a remarkable job of capturing teens as they are: insecure and passionate; as easily hurt as they are to fall in love. They provoke each other without knowing why. One of the many highlights of this film is when the boy and girl, having run out of verbal ammunition, begin a shoving match. It goes on for some time and then the director simply cuts to a scene of the two of them straightening up their surroundings together. The director makes many decisions like that to keep us focused on the big picture: stuff happens, and then something else happens. There's no stopping it.
I have to point out that watching this Taiwanese film with English subtitles added quite a bit to the adorableness of it. For example, after brooding girl sets up sensitive boy with girly-girl, who knows he likes brooding girl, (you have to see the film to see how that happens), sensitive boy walks girly-girl home. After an uncomfortably done good-bye, girly-girl calls out after sensitive boy as he's about to mount his bicycle and says: "Zhang Shihao, (pause) can you date with me?" I don't know exactly what was said in Taiwanese, but that odd translation seemed to capture the moment perfectly.
I smiled from ear to ear while watching this movie from the time sensitive boy was introduced until the very end. This is an exceptionally well done film, off-the-charts-delightful.
The plot is rather simple involving 2 girls and a boy: Girl A likes Boy, Boy likes Girl B and Girl B likes Girl A.
What is so captivating about this film is that it is so beautifully shot that any shot you take it could be on the publicity poster.
And there is a certain quiet quality to it. It has no melodrama but the honest protrayal of teenage angst and uncertainty will grip you in your chest right from the start of the film till the end. A heart-rending pain not allowing one to breathe, not intense enough to cry over but a pain so slow and insidious that it would stay within one for days before one could expunge it out.
And the dialogue. There must be only about a hundred lines of exchange but every line - and many of them repeated - shows the repression of emotions, the fear if they are spoken out loud so the protagonists write on the walls, write on notebooks and burn them, write in sands to be washed by the waves.
i've been watching Chinese films since I was five. I have never seen a more beautiful Chinese film before. Even Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou aren't this good.

Beautifully shot, quietly acted - it is an interesting and important addition to Asian cinema.
