CityOfGlass

Have you watched City of Glass before?

The one that starred Shu Qi and Leon Lai?

Everytime I watched that movie, I always feel a lump in my throat. The idea of being separated from the one you love because of circumstances always makes me melancholic. I'm a sentimental fool, I have to say.

Saw it on MIO TV today. Just the last 15 minutes. I didn't know it was showing because my dearest daddy was watching Golden Eye. James Bond with his dumb girls. But then again, this James Bond is cute (Pierce Brosnan).

Back to my City of Glass, Shu Qi and Leon Lai were a couple when they were young but were separated due to what reason I have forgotten. When they met each other (I think more than ten years?), they were already married with a child each and they started an affair. Besides the affair part (something which I don't condone), everything else was sweet. There was a scene where Shu Qi was left stranded while waiting for him (his wife came back unexpectedly) but their best friend turned up to accompany her. She asked the best friend, "Do you think he loves me?"

"Of course," the friend answered.

"So, do you think he loves his wife too?" she continued.

"Err.."

"I wonder how can one love two people at the same time?" she persisted. The friend did not know what to answer.

Sometimes, it's better not to know the answer to certain questions.
