About Love - 關於愛

About Love (關於愛) is a 2005 film. The three directors of the film are from Taiwan, China, and Japan.

The film is broken up into 3 cities. Tokyo, Taipei, and Shanghai. In a happenstance way, they are all interconnected. However, I can't recall how the Taipei story arc is connected to the other two.



The Tokyo story arc follows Wilson Chen and Misaki Ito.

The Taipei story arc follows Mavis Fan.

The Shanghai story arc follows Jacqueline Li.

1 Taiwan dude. 2 Japanese dudes. 1 Japanese girl. 1 Taiwan gal. 1 China gal.

Worth a watch. Watched it back in the day. Watched it again recently while washing dishes.

藍色大門 - Blue Gate Crossing

藍色大門 (Blue Gate Crossing) is a 2002 film out of Taiwan starring Kwai Lun-mei and Wilson Chen.

The story follows 3 high school age students as they try to figure things out. Meng, Lin, and Chang. Meng and Lin are best friends. Chang has an interest in Lin. Lin doesn't want to get involved with Chang. Chang uses Meng to get to Lin. Chang falls for Meng. BUT. BUT....Meng doesn't want Change, but Lin.

Yes. It's a lesbian based movie that isn't overtly lesbian as almost all screen time is with Kwai Lun-Mei and Wilson Chen.

A artsy fartsy film all the way and a simi reflection of Taiwan beginning its conversation with homosexuality in media. I first watched this film back in 2003 or 2004 so Kwai and Chen being so young wasn't a distraction.
