Movie Review: Spider Lilies

SYNOPSIS: Behind Every Tattoo, There's A Secret. Two young women reawaken a dormant love for each other in "Spider Lilies," a relative leap into the big-time for Taiwanese director and lesbian filmer Zero Chou, here using two name leads for the first time. It portrays the love of and between two lesbians, evoking the hopes and hurts of everyone. .



MOVIE TIDBITS: Striking, Macau-born Isabella Leong ("Isabella," "Diary") plays half-Japanese Takeko, aka Bamboo, owner of a Taipei tattoo parlor that's visited by cutesy teenager Jade (Taiwanese singer-TV star Rainie Yang). Jade wants a spider-lily tattoo like one on Takeko's wall (and arm) but latter is mysteriously reticent. Visiting Jade's Web site, Takeko finds she's actually a cybersex webcam girl; what she doesn't realize initially is they knew each other 10 years ago, when Jade, then 9 years old, had a crush on her. Mixing innocence and sexuality, countryside flashbacks are pic's best parts; rest is largely Jade teasing her webcam, Takeko struggling with sundry guilt, and an amateurish subplot about a shy Internet cop (Kris Shie). Original title means "Tattoo."

Woah didnt expect Rainie casting in that role. I've watched that movie and it's pretty awesome. Overall, the storyline still not too bad, interesting and impressive thou. But somehow, some people may find it difficult to understand and definite it's patent to anyone that would judge it as a boring movie.

I like 2 Quotes from this movie :

a) 男人刺青是為了彰顯力量﹔女人刺青則是標誌愛情

b)說得出的話﹐是表面﹔說不出的﹔是內心

Sounds meaningful rite? Check this movie out. I'm not sure it will be screening in cinema. Cheers!
