One's a coincidence, Two's an accident, Three's a pattern
This is the only thing that I can say to describe the movie.
Turn Left, Turn Right is a 2003 movie directed by Johnnie To
and Wai Ka Fa with the stars Takeshi Kaneshiro (John) and Gigi Leung (Eve). It
was actually based on a novel named “A Chance of Sunshine” by Jimmy Liao The
movie was really wonderful and honestly saying I am really not fond of watching
romance movies but I can make an always make an exception. The movie depicts
the love story between a struggling violinist named John and a translator who
works for a publishing company named Eve.
One’s a coincidence: Why coincidence? They actually live right next to each other
but only separated by a wall; they even go out of their houses with John going
on the left and Eve going on the left. Even the author of the book makes a
cameo appearance with his family in the movie. What a coincidence right?
Two’s an accident: Why accident? Well they finally meet
because of an accident where in Eve’s manuscript fell in the water and John
picks it up to help her but Eve accidentally knock down John’s music sheets
that lead them to picked up every papers on sight. As they were talking, they
finally realize that they were searching for each other since they were little
kids. Excited, they exchange their telephone numbers but it got smudged by the
rain.
Three’s a pattern: Why a pattern? As the movie goes on, they
were kept on looking for each other and waiting in a place where they met. Where
John was, Eve would be there and where Eve was, John would be there. It was a
cycle watching them go here and there but not even meeting once.
One’s a coincidence, Two’s an accident, Three’s a pattern…
Four’s a warrant right?
But for this movie
Four’s a destiny
Four’s a destiny: Why destiny? They finally meet other with
the help of an earthquake that destroyed the wall that blocks their view with
each other. The quote from the movie “Life’s full of coincidence, even two
parallels might someday meet” is a great one indeed.
The movie might be a bit cliché but I would definitely
recommend watching this movie especially to those people who loves watching
romance.
