Tiramisu = Remember me (in italian)... Will anyone remember me if one day I am not around?

The movie, Lian Ai Hang Xing aka Tiramisu ( which means 'remember me' in Italian Language, it is also a kind of desert that the Italian housewives made for their husbands to bring when they go to war. As it was the war period, the desert is made with left over biscuits and coffee cakes. )


"This film was simply outstanding and emotional. Tiramisu tells of the fleeting love story between Fung (Nicholas Tse) and Jane (Karena Lam). Fung is a young postman by day and janitor by night, who also happened to be deaf since the death of his father years before. Jane is a dancer and part of a promising contemporary dance group who have reached the final of a major dance competition. Both happen to meet coincidentally in various places within a day in Hong Kong, but don't exchange a word. However, a tragic road accident takes away Jane's life and she seeks Fung to fulfill a few final requests on her behalf before she enters the underworld.One can't help but make the comparison that Tiramisu is a cross between Ghost and Save The Last Dance, although in truth it does stand out as being very different between the two. The film starts off quite neatly, with as little dialogue as possible, but every fine detail carefully placed into the viewer's mind. As the film progresses, it gets very emotional and is clearly just beautifully and intelligently crafted, with different settings that engage the thoughts of the viewer. The dialogue is sweet and there are good moments of drama, and coupled with a wonderful score and choreography for a few of the dance scenes, I was very impressed by how well the film was put together." -- this is a short summary of what the show is about. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348214/

Now my turn to share how I felt about this movie. This movie is a little normal at the beginning, similar to 'Xing Yuan' by Cecilia Chung and Ricky Ren but towards the end, the movie becomes more emotional. It describes what love is and makes me aware that maybe none of us really understand love. There weren't many expressions of love in words between the couple but the little actions and their body languages were so clear. As Jane is a ghost and cannot be in contact with sunlight, she can only hide in Fung's body in the day. She tears in Fung's body, she dances in Fung's body, she tastes her favourite lollipop with Fung's mouth, it was like Jane was part of Fung and they can never be separated. Jane mentioned that it was different tasting the tiramisu herself and when she's with him. I believed that feeling is special as it belonged to them only. When they hugged (don't know why and how), suddenly I have an urge to hug someone but Fafa aslp le... He's a sick boy todae! That boy very poor thing, did duty on a weekend then fall ill le. Though sick, he still go home to change into my favourite shirt, put on contacts and meet me today, silly boy... next time sick then don't meet le wor... made me feel so bad... *sayang hope you get well soon! *muackz*. Back to the show, I couldn't stop crying after the show ended. You guys might think that I am crazy, but I really felt very touched. It was something like me and Fafa. We had special feelings for each other at the 1st sight and then that feeling grew within a week. Love is so amazing... I also want to be part of him, feel his happiness as well as unhappiness and live his life. Sometimes I am afraid, because these fantasies normally do not end like fairy tales with happily ever after.... how about us? And what happen when I leave ? :___( will anyone miss me? will you remember me?
