Blue Gate Crossing (2002) One of my favourite films
This is one of my favourite films of all time.....it simply has a fantastic script and engaging story and yet is so simple in essence. I really liked it alot and i won't give away the crucial element of the story but it really is a fantastic film with a fantastic cast as both the actor and actresses really fit the role as they are both really down to earth looking and not glamorous or good looking people but they just have this feel to them which makes the audience emphatise with what they are going through.....the soundtrack is one of the best i have heard so far and even now, a few yrs since watching it, i still sometimes hum the melody to myself.....A MUST WATCH and recommended for anyone...i actually saw it at the Melbourne International Film Festival...

English: Storyline: Ah Meng is a 17 yr old highschool girl who often sighs that she is no longer a care-free and problemless person as she hides a secret in her heart....She has a best friend whom she hangs around everyday and her bestfriend tells her one day she is in love with this guy from another class. She asks Ah Meng to help her get the guy and writes a love letter to the guy Xiao Shi in Ah Meng's name. Thus starts the misunderstanding whereby Xiao Shi mistakes the girl who loves him as Ah Meng and thinks Ah Meng is creating an imaginary friend as an excuse as she is too embarassed to admit her love. Xiao Shi falls for Ah Meng and tries his hardest to win her love but Ah Meng cannot love him as she has a secret......eventually Ah meng tells Xiao Shi her long buried secret and the two 17 year olds grow up overnight through sharing the secret realising that life has many challenges and the world is not just the world inside school...they make a promise to meet each other sometime in the future, maybe after graduation, maybe 3 yrs later,....underneath a blue gate.......
Chinese:阿孟是十七歲的高中女生，她常常感嘆自己已不再是「天空任鳥飛，海闊縱魚躍」的青少年了。無法再天空海闊，該當是心中藏了許多的秘密吧！一天，她把這些秘密全數老實地告訴了也十七歲的小士。小士與阿孟不同，無牽無掛無心機，鎮日泡在游泳池中，享受水波柔軟地捧托。他最大的心願是游泳比賽冠軍和做阿孟的男朋友。直到那天，他無預警地聽著阿孟向他揭露這份她始終深埋在心底的秘密……。究竟是什麼樣的秘密，讓阿孟和小士這兩個十七歲的大孩子，一夜之間變成了大人？是什麼樣的秘密，使得尚不懂哲學是何物的小朋友，卻不得不面對生命存在的課題。於是，他們不再是男女朋友了，也不是普通朋友。他們成為一種若即若離的糾纏。糾纏久了，疲倦了……。他們預約將來，也許三年後，於一扇藍色大門前再見。
