一路有你

 

一路有你
The Journey

久违的大马华语电影!其实,我可以说是从小看外国电影(港片居多)长大的。一部好的大马电影...我看应该可能就很难找。

这部才刚上映,我就很想买票进戏院看。哈哈,可能是宣传做的很足够,也可能因之前“天天好天”的好评。

我妈妈平时都不去戏院看戏的,都说要看!我也趁这机会一起去看。总结,这是很温馨,不错的一部电影。

看了之后,还真想把握现有的时间来实现想做的事,不要等到 "Tayar Pancit" 才后悔。哈哈,pancit就是这部电影给我深刻印象的其中一句。

剧情简介

Forgotten Country



Forgotten Country
Author: Catherine Chung

"Gorgeous...a heartbreaking story about sisters, family, and keeping traditions alive."
-People

I could not disagree with the statement above. I was having the thought of it would not be interesting at first sight. A point must be emphasized one more time, never judge a book by its cover!

The night before Janie's, Hannah, is born, her grandmother tells her a story: Since the occupation of Korea, their family has lost a daughter in every generation, and Janie is told to keep Hannah safe. Years later, when Hannah inexplicably cuts all ties and disappears, Janie goes to find her. Thus begins a journey that will force her to confront her family's painful silence, the truth behind her parents' sudden move to America twenty years earlier, and her own conflicted feelings toward Hannah.

Indeed, this is the most beautiful book I have ever read. It is touching and heartbreaking. I could resist myself to stop reading once I flipped page one.

The date I finished reading this book : December 2013/ January 2014
Rating : 8.5/10
