Review of Ai de fa sheng lian xi

Here is a movie that started out with so much promise.. the concept of explaining each relationship by a musical note is new to me. However, with just ten minutes into the film, it starts to look like it tries too hard to be moving and insightful, with under-developed characters, one-dimensional acting by the lead actress, cheesy unrealistic dialogs, and countless plot holes. This confusing melodrama provided an hour and 50 minutes of very minimal entertainment and artistic values. When you get to the end, you realize you learned nothing about the main characters and frankly don't care to learn more. It almost feels like the crew also lost interest as the film wrapped up very abruptly. When the credits began to roll, I felt sorry that I sat through such a poorly executed mess.
