Kwah- Hee : Starry Starry Night

Attending off-site class today.
Since in town,decided to spend my afternoon watching 《星空》 or Starry Starry Night.


Adapted from Jimmy Liao (幾米)'s best selling novel,Starry Starry Night is about Mei, a 13 year old girl, used to live with her grandparents up in the mountains where the stars were most beautiful. After she was taken back to the city, she has been having a hard time both at home and at school. Her only escape is through her memory of those starry nights. 


One day, Mei meets the transfer student, Jay, who seems more detached from the world than she is. Together, they try to face their problems, but things only got worse when Mei's parents announce their divorce and ask her to choose who to live with. 


Mei and Jay decide to run away from home to see the stars she missed so dearly. In the mountains, they get lost, get caught in a storm, and they share their most intimate secrets For Mei, this simple journey becomes her fondest, most beautiful memory.  


My Take:
5 words: This film have blew me off!
Like many will say...the front part of the film is slow and monotonous, but that's not the main point.
I would say that the CG has not only enhance the story of the film,it has made it real cool in the film.
My rating: 3/5(First impression via trailer 2/5)

So did Mei meet up with Jay after years?It's something for us to ponder...
"Starry Starry Night is screening at a couple of Cinemas,do check it out...Rated PG."
