Cape No.7 海角七號

Another review for romance flick, Cape No.7 is actually a good one for those that think love is overrated. This movie offers you cute japanese girl (this reason is already enough for you to watch it), a cute keyboard player, old ah pek and much more interesting characters. 

Although personally I think its poster is a little dull, and the story flows too slow yet has very little romance elements despite all those cheesy Japanese narration, this movie should captivate the heart of music lovers. What I like most is the optimism of certain characters and the room for them to grow in the movie; I hate static characters in movies. The songs are quite good, Kousuke Atari has a good voice and the overall storyline is good as well.

The only setback is that it is 2 hours plus... which is too long for a romance movie. Only action movies can made it more than 2 hours, people has limited patience in keeping their focuses, especially on such romance or comedy movies. It's dreadful to sit in the cinema for more than 2 hours without wanting to go to the washroom. So the best recommendation for this movie is to watch it's DVD, have your own sweet time enjoying it on your comfortable sofa at your very own pace. Not advisable to watch in cinema, but a good material to spend your free time.
