“My So-called L.O.V.E.”
“My so-called Love”
A tense and intriguing film by – I actually don’t know! (I have done my research, not that at all; but it seems to me that the director just doesn’t want to be known or something.) Anyway, the plot revolves this shy and very innocent girl named Kitty.
We see Kitty through the three most important periods in life; high school, college and adulthood
What is love? That’s Kitty’s big and unanswered question. Kitty has a strange relationship with love. She has absolutely no individual definition of what love is, therefore she seeks the answer from the guys she dates. But through her foolish ways of seeking love she can’t seem to find a guy with a satisfying enough definition of love.
Her first “love” is A-Liang, who becomes her high school sweet hearts. He truly loves her, but when he joins the army to be able to support them financially, Kitty gets lonely and starts to chat with strangers online. Eventually she betrays him with Xiao-Gu, a very handsome, middle-aged chat-dude, only to discover he is married. Kitty then meets Sunshine (yes, it’s the dude’s name, I don’t know; ask his parents?!) who gives her the love she wants, but she discovers that she doesn’t love him, and she runs away. In the end she manages to break the hearts of all three men.
She has an unstable heart which mostly is her mother’s fault. Traumatized throughout her childhood, Kitty still seems to be the one among the women in the family with the strongest persona, with is also due to the fact that she leaves her “family” and starts a life of her own; it might not be perfect, but it’s a treasure compared to what she had before. A wonderful and sentimental movie; a must see!
