SECRET

One of my all-time favorite movies, Secret or in direct translation from Chinese, “The Secret That Cannot Be Told” is a 2007 Taiwanese film. Popular Taiwanese musician Jay Chou stars as the male lead also co-wrote the movie. In the year of release, the movie received six nominations at the Taiwanese Golden Horse Awards and won Outstanding Taiwanese Film of The Year Awards. Also it was nominated for Best Asian Film at the 27^th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2008.

In the film, a music student majoring in piano Ye Xianglun transfers to a music school popular with the most talented students. On the first day of school, as he wanders through the piano department building, he hears a mysterious melody being played that leads him to Lu Xiaoyu, another piano student. He asks her about the song and she tells it is a secret that cannot be told. They develop a relationship and the girl’s life stays clouded in mystery. When Xianglun tells Xiaoyu that the piano building is going to be demolished on a graduation day and the old grand piano will be torn down with the building, Xiaoyu eventually teaches him the mysterious song. Xiaoyu disappears for 5 months after seeing Xianglun accidentally kissing other girl and appears on the graduation day and mysteriously disappears again. After trying hard to find out what was going on Xianglun discovers the unbelievable secret of the mysterious song and the old grand piano. I didn’t want to write here what was the secret exactly because of my wish not to spoil it for those people who might be interested in watching the movie. I hope they would be as much excited as I was when I first watched the film and discover the secret together with Xianglun.

I would highly recommend watching this movie.
