"Three Times" 's a charm!

1911- A time for Freedom

Taiwanese music, no dialogue, a few intertitles here and there reminiscent of silent movies..expressions and glances are worth a thousand words. Set in Taiwan before its independence from Japan, not a time for love.

1966- A time for Love


Amazing music, a few words spoken, and although everyday life's constraints make it hard for them to meet, they're able to connect and actually share magnificent few moments together. I loved the letters he sends and the last scene under the rain.
2005- A time for youth

So many communication tools (email, cell phones, text messaging, blogs, digital cameras..), so little communication.

Qi Shu looks gorgeous especially in this last part.

No communication way is equivalent to human touch. We are able to 'digitalize' all communication except touch. and it becomes the thing we crave the most.
