刺青 (Spider Lilies) is a 2007 film out of Taiwan. The film stars Rainie Yang and Isabella Leong.
Rainie Yang plays Jade, a webcam girl. Jade is looking for something in life but hasn't found it yet. Jade has a childhood crush on Takeko, played by Isabella Leong. Takeko was originally from Japan. Takeko also has a mentally challenged brother whom she has to take care of daily. Jade finds Takeko's place and goes there regularly to strike up a romance. In the end, the two go through hardships to fall for each other.
The film was a bit hard to watch. The subject matter was not very interesting to me. I wasn't even aware that this was a lesbian based film until the childhood accounts. I was only aware that this was a Rainie and Isabella movie. Maybe I should have read the back story. However, it gives a daily account of people looking for love and a purpose. In the end, it was a message that love isn't easy to come by and that you'll have to make some sacrifices.
