It is true that things are often better when they are not probe any further, especially in movies. To leave them in a condition where the audience could feel the emotions yet not being exploited by it is the most ideal. Happy Birthday is one such movie. The plot didn’t manage to impress, as it has stayed within one’s expectations.
Even the tear-jerking ending rings a bell. What makes the movie good is the meticulous display of emotions and the performance by Renee Liu. You may be able to relate to the dilemma M (Renee’s character) has for her love and expectations, or it is just happening to someone around you. Although having Louis Ku may seems a bit too gimmicky, but the overall presentation is still worth the time and the tears.
《生日快乐》。戏的节奏相当慢，东西都是轻轻带过。感觉好像喝了一杯茶，留下的余味久久挥之不散。有时爱情很无奈，那种渴望又怕受伤害的感觉最后只苦了彼此。其实什么都是淡淡的，感觉都是散散的。
