I was watching the movie of Barbie Hsu last night, slept after the first half and woke up at dawn to finish the other 2nd half. The story is about the woman who wanted to know the answer to the question "What is LOVE?". . . Everyone in the film is telling or showing different explanation of what love really is and so not all of them have the same understanding of what really it is. Cat Hsu is a woman who has a simple dream when she grow up and that is to live a life with a single big of happiness. Having a man around her isn't enough or should I say, the absence of that someone in your side makes you become someone who'll pick up another to replace for his presence. If I'll think immaturely, it would be easy for me to say, I don't like the movie or I don't like Cat, Barbie's rule here, because of her "bad girl personality" doing in film. First, she abandoned her mother at a young age for she can't accept her "new father" whom she thought was not a good man. Second, she lived with Liam, together they stay in an apartment and promised each other to love forever and faithful with each other, but both of them wasn't able to comply such promises they made, she becomes a prostitute to support her college education while Liam had a slept with his gay bestfriend. Third, Cat falls in love with a married man, had an affair and worst, it last for so many years, at most 10 years, and end up having a baby that Cat did not tell anybody who's the real father. Fourth, a young man with so many dreams, fall for her, she played with him for a while, and leave him in the air, with his heart shuttered. And lastly, she carried her child, together with Liam, Liam's bestfried and gay lover, her sister, all of them move away and leave all the past behind without cleaning her mess.... OK, to think maturely, maybe moving away was the best way of starting a new life and feel that single bit of happiness that she dreamed of. For me, maybe her meaning of having a single bit of happiness in life, in which Cat wanted, is to have someone around to love her forever, start a family with that someone she love and love her too... I slept and I woke up, but still I don't know what was her own answer of the question "what is love?"... I don't know how to answer it neither, but maybe I can take Liam's answer that "Love is having someone beside you forever" or her lover's answer "There's no answer to such question!".. NOW, WHATEVER..Love is love and a promise is promise. She promised to take Liam forever, as her first member of her family, of course, there's the second, third and maybe more upcoming member in her future family. What's good in the movie? Well, no matter how we look the different views of life, this kind of things normally happen everywhere and in everyone's life. Maybe different story, different status, different races, but all of us is looking for the answer of the question "What is Love" and everyone has different "so-called love". That depends on how you accept and understand the word in your life.
