I would like to clarify that i am not a fan of Jay Chou, even after watching Secret. To anyone who haven't watch Secret yet, but have the dying urge to know more about the plot, climax and ending, this is written specially for you :)
On the first day of school in Tanjiang University, Ye Xiang Lun (Jay Chou) chanced upon Lu Xiaoyu (Kwai Lun-Mei) in a music room that contained an antique but very elegant-looking piano, in the old school block that was going to demolished at its 1ooth anniversary graduation day, after hearing a mysterious piano solo played by Xiaoyu.
Both of them then gradually and predictably fall in love with each other. They spend some happy moments together (let ur imagination run a bit, but not too wild! haha). The love between them was those kind of very young, sweet and innocent kind, nothing more than that.
However, there was also another girl named Sky, who was fond on xiang lun. A misunderstanding occurred one day when xiang lun passed a note during lesson time to xiaoyu to meet him in the music room but in the end it was sky who turned up and he mistook her as xiaoyu and kissed her accidentally as he was closing eyes while playing the piano waiting for xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu fled at her top speed after witnessing the scene. Though xiang lun tried to find xiaoyu to explain all the misunderstandings, but he wasn't able to. Apparently, xiaoyu seems to vanished into the thin air. There was no way of contacting or meeting her. This is the end of the first part of the story.
Five months later, during the graduation ceremony, as xiang lun was performing, together with the school orchestra, a pale sickly-looking xiaoyu resurfaced at the grand hall. Xiang lun was thrilled to see her again while playing the piano, and gave chase when she turned and ran away.
Though, xianglun managed to catch up with her, but once again after the brief meeting, xiaoyu was missing and was nowhere to be found. The twist of the movie then came in, actually, nobody knew that about the existence of xiaoyu as they can't see her! Xiang lun was the only one that could see her as he was the first person she met while travelling into the future of 20 years later through a mysterious score labelled as "Secret".
The secret is finally out now! Xiaoyu never know about the note which xianglun tried to pass to her as sky was sitting in front of xiaoyu and thus sky kept the note since it was obivious that she was the "last person" sitting in the row!
Xiaoyu received the rude shock as she was coincidentally going into the music room to find xianglun and she stumbled on the kissing scene. She was really upset and thus she did not played the "Secret" score to go to the future, which explain her absence during the past 5 months. During the 5 months, at around 1979 (sorry, i seems to forgotten abt the dates!) xiaoyu was having a hard time as after returning from the future, she was very depressed!
Xiang Lun's dad (Anthony Wong), Mr Ye, happened to be her teacher and though on the surface he seems to buy her story, but deep down like others, he thought that she was suffering from some form of mental illness. Her classmates made nasty and snide remarks after learning about it and this caused her to stop attending school.
On the graduation day, Mr Ye went to invite her personally to the graduation ceremony. Xiaoyu were in a way being shunned by the others while in school. Miserably, she went back to the music room to play the piano and transported her back to the future, to the 20 years later graduation ceremony.
However, after hugging Xianglun, she saw him wearing sky's braclet and thought that they were an item. Sadly, she went back to her era and died out of heartaches and asthma's attack in the school classroom, in the position as if she was taking a nap on the table.
Xiang Lun unfolded the truth about her death from his dad after acquiring an old photograph of xiaoyu and his dad in the graduation day from xiaoyu's room and dashed out of the house frantically to school to the music room to play the score to go back to the past. The school building at that point of time was on the verge of tearing down. Construction was going on, xiang lun climbed up the building to the music room, broke the glass window, got cut by the shreds of glasses and played the score quickly.
His dad, intrigued by his son's enquiry about xiaoyu, took out the score that xiaoyu had entrusted him to keep, flipped the score and accidentally discovered his son'd name embossed on a folded corner of a page with a love message penned by xiaoyu! Shock was written over his face, and the next scene was he was running like a madman, presumably to school to stop his son but was in vain as the next scene showed that xiang lun while playing the piano, the infrastructure came tumbling down fast and furiously as the they were ripped off by some construction machines.
Despite that Xiang Lun continued to played and before he reached the last note, a drop of crimson blood dripped down from his forehead to the keyboard and when he finished off with the last note, a magnificent iron ball came crushing down to his direction, to his head.
Xiang Lun managed to travel back to the past, however, he died in the present, and everything change. Xiaoyu was the first person he met when he went back, but she doesn't seems to have any recollection of who is he?The last scene was a picture showing that the whole lot of them graduating from Tanjiang uni at 1994 with xiaoyu and xiang lun standing side by side.
I liked the ending, however, there was also one part of the movie which left me dumbstruck. I don't understand how can the words appeared word by word on the desk in the present time?
Never mind, any way, enough of saying, i enjoyed watching it!!!
Rating: 3.5/5
