Time traveling tale always has loopholes. I was aware of a powerful plot twist in this film. After ten minutes of the film, i thought it will be something similar to either sixth sense or fight club in terms of the twist. In the end, it was lake house. The plot was definitely not ground breaking or truly original. It was a good attempt, it kept me watching till the end, hoping to give it ten out of ten.
Despite being a romantic film, this film did not move me a bit. I am not sure should i blame it on the unrealistic puppy love or jay's run-of-the-mill acting. I put the final blame on the character. It was unclear how strong this love was between Lu and Ye. Ye knew Lu was ill and failed to see her for five months. Lu gets jealous too easily. For her to give up the secret score and cry for Ye for five months is just incredible. I did not understand why was it necessary to make both Ye and Lu come from single parent family. Makin Ye a homemaker with a weird father was not much of a character development.
The cinematography was great. i like the "brown" visual presentation of this film. Not forgetting the bicycle rides, the ice cream and the piano. Music is something Jay is strong with. The characters talk about music, fight over score and perform together.
I appreciates Jay's effort to produce something different which is what we need. Work on the emotions, i want to cry in the cinema at the next Jay's film.
