Secret 不能說的秘密 as in translation which means a "secret could not tell", was a movie released recently by Jay Chou. After featuring in two successive movies such as "Initial D" by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak where he was winner of the best new artist at 25th Hong Kong film awards, and another epic movie "Curse of the golden flower" by Zhang Yimou.
Jay Chou as Jay a new student at Tamkang High School follow a mysterious piano tunes to the musical classroom where he meets with Yu(Kwan Lun Mei). It was a love at first sight. As their relationship getting more closer, Jay wanted to know Yu deeper but she insist that it's a secret.
As graduation day approaches, Yu decided to tell Jay all about her secrets where they promise to meet at the musical room one night but she never turn up from that day, leaving Jay a confusion in his mind. Everything seems a mystery for Jay as when he search for her throughout the school. But nobody is able to answer Jay's questions, he can't even find her name on the student registered list. To his surprise, he found Yu standing beside her father in an old photograph. So he determine to find out what the secret really is, no matter what it takes. So the rest story you need to go and watch it. I respect his request to keep it SECRET as not to review here.
Also feature in Secret was veteran Anthony Wong (Chiu) who also starring as Jay's father too in "Initial D". The chemistry between these two actors seem to spark out. According to Jay, the hardest part on shooting the movie was during the piano scenes where it was a straight recording and if got a single wrong note keyed, it needed to be retake.
A man with high ambitions, always a good thing since he widen his career from a song composer/singer to cinematic career. Beside directing and writing the movie script, he also self sponsor of this movie. Hope he will win the best director awards which will be a record breaking as the youngest director amongst the all.
