Au Revoir Taipei – Movie Review

Yesterday was the day I stepped into the theatres after awhile. (Last movie I watched was Sorcerer’s Apprentice!)

I managed to catch the movie I’ve always wanted to, which was Au Revoir Taipei. The reason why I wanted to watch was, firstly because of my extreme-fascination/fetish for Taiwan. Its a country I’ve been wanting to go, to nom-noms at their night market, to shop till I drop. Secondly, the poster was really intriguing, nicely designed, deceiving enough.

You see, nice or not!?!?!? Nice right??

 

Anyway. The whole duration of the movie was 83 minutes. The whole flick was really slow, so bad that it felt like I had been watching the movie for 2-3 hours already, but in reality, it was only around an hour. It was the first movie (from what I could remember), that I had the urge of leaving the theatres half way. (OH, I remember, the other movie I really left the theatres was ‘PERHAPS LOVE’, it was a musical-like movie, few years back.) But well, I stayed on of course..

I’d give this movie 2/5 stars. My friend said I’m already very generous. HAHA!

At the end of the 83 minutes, I felt like I wasted 83 minutes of my time, and 6 bucks on watching the movie!

I was so jealous of the person who was queuing infront of me at the ticketing booth. They bought tickets for Step up 3. :C :C :C I think any other movies which was showing would be better than this lur!

Okay, this was their funny ending scene..

But well well, this movie was good in the sense it was able to portray some of the highlights of Taipei/Taiwan. Like their food street etc. It’d probably be better as a tourism-related advertisement instead of a movie, except that its too draggy and long.

No matter what, I’d still love Taiwan, and someday in the near future, I hope my dreams will come true. I want to be on the lands of Taiwan for a short trip soon!! :]
