Movie review: All about love

Love’s everything to do with it …

If love were to be masterfully crafted into a poignant mix of loss, rediscovery & redemption no other would be more worthy of such representation, than Daniel Yu’s – “All about love” by Andy Lau, Charlie Yeung and Charlene Choi.

Love takes a heart-wrenching turn in the cocktail of innocence, death and chance because you have to be heartless not to shed a tear in this simplistic story of short-lived love in two men’s lives, bounded by the strange fate that both their ladies shared the same heart, with the former as a donor.

The absolute feeling I felt was something like this … the tinge of sadness in my heart, a little of pity, sadness & sympathy … it’s so sad like when I last watched the movie of someone dying young, an the irony of life taken away so young, so much life unfulfilled and love so innocent & pure … it’s that sad and unlike anything … perhaps coming closest would be ‘Fly me to Polaris’.

And it’s very much also about grieving the loss of a life & love that was taken for granted and having it taken so suddenly is very much sad when we hang on to it, not knowing how to move life on.

Even if you ever felt this movie is not so ‘All about love’, do watch it because it’s definitely something about it and nudges a soft reminder that life is fragile after all and love’s what life is worth living for.
