2 Young
Monday, September 15, 2008
A week ago i watched this Hong Kong film which left a significant effect deep in me.
It is a very simple story that depicts pure love, teenage romance and teen pregnancy.
Though the plot itself is nothing fresh neither is it a high-budgeted film, the display of pure love and endurance shared between the 2 main characters are touching. The director managed to keep everything in its purest state with no whatsoever uncomfortable scenes.
You would realise that the title implies 'too young' too which is what the protagonists are.
I'd applaud them for their roles in the film for they portrayed the story almost perfectly.
Honestly, i shed a few tears throughout the film for it was really heart-feeling.
The two protagonists are able to convince its audience that the love between them were real.
Though both being merely teenagers, they are able to understand the meaning of loving unconditionally and that sometimes, sacrifices have to be made.
Fiona Sit who played the daughter of a wealthy family, Natalie, got pregnant with Ka Fu's (Jaycee) child but aGAinst A.L.L oDDs, decided to keep the baby.
Faced by bitter opposition by Natalie's snobbish parents, in desperation, they eloped and tried to eke out a living by themselves, living in a shabby, deserted house.
Ka Fu kept losing his peanuts-paying jobs but seeing Natalie heavily pregnant and mal-nourished, he resorted to stealing for Natalie to nourish her body.
After a while of living together, Ka Fu and Natalie found silence seems to take over the conversations they have for one another.
At this juncture nevertheless they still held on to their wish of building a family together and that the hard times will soon be over.
The high maturity of both the teenagers towards love and endurance was undeniably there.
I thought it was a really, really bEAutiFUl story.
For those of you who don't mind un-fanciful, simple and straight to the point teen-romance movies,
this may be for you.
