Movie review: “Turn Left, Turn Right”
I, together with my block mates watched a movie in our school’s
audio visual room. It was titled “Turn Left, Turn Right”. At first, I thought it
was a horror movie because of the title, but thankfully it wasn’t.
“Turn Left, Turn Right” is a Taiwanese film aired in 2003
which was based on a book named “A Chance of Sunshine”. The story follows a man and a woman who live
in buildings right next to each other, though somehow, they never once met each
other since they were separated only by a concrete wall.
The man, named John, was a violinist who works various jobs
in hopes of getting lucky and become a famous master violinist. The woman, Eve,
is a translator working for a book publishing company.
The two accidentally met by the fountain at the park. When
Eve dropped her papers into the water, John offered to help which also caused
his music sheets to fall into the fountain as well.
The two dried their papers out on the open area of the park
and introduced themselves to one another. They soon found out that they met
many years ago when their schools had a field trip. They decided to give other
their numbers, but parted rather abruptly due to an oncoming storm.
They got back to their apartments, happily at first, but
then became upset since both their papers became smudged and were unreadable
due to rain water. They both spent days, and even weeks, trying to find one
another by trying to decipher the numbers that were left and began calling
random people in hopes of getting through each other.
~~~~~~~~~~
Long story short, they finally found each other after an
earthquake which caused the concrete wall between their apartments to crumble
into pieces.
Now after watching this wonderful movie, I have a much
better respect for people who exert so much effort for the people they love.
Shoutout to the people who never give up on their loved
ones, keep doing you.
