This movie was simply amazing. It may start out as a typical melodramatic high school love story but wait until the end. You will be FLOORED by the twist and the fact that the main actor Jay Chou was also the director, producer, and musical composer for this movie! He looked too young to be the director. But then again, he did play a high school student so that might have deceived me. LOL. He is one extremely talented guy. Although I'm not that impressed with the acting, the music was brilliant. It seriously deserved a perfect 10 (or a 20 if you dig classical music). Cinematography was beautiful and the atmosphere was bittersweet, kind of like experiencing a "Throwback Thursday" moment because it involved a love that transcends time.
I want to post more but I really don't want to put quasi-spoilers lest it would ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet. I have the tendency to make hints about a lot of things when I review and I don't want to do that here mainly because the supernatural element in the story (which is basically the twist) made the romance special and out of the box. However if there IS one sentence I can use to summarize the movie, it's this: "Secret" is a story about a young couple and the impossible lengths they are willing to take to be together. Take note on the phrase 'impossible lengths' because it actually denotes a literal meaning.
Would I recommend this? A definite YES! It didn't receive awards for nothing.
