::.WITH LOVE.::



Story


"Hasegawa Takashi, 27 years old. Very tired. Tired of work, tired of women. I believe that I'll never love another woman again. This was what I thought. But........" hata


"Murakami Amane, 23 years old today. Living a monotonous life everyday. Face minor troubles but yet to face a major one. Never have & never will. Continue living an ordinary life. That was what I thought. But......" teru teru bozu


The story starts with the 2 main characters lamenting how tired of their lives they are. Hasegawa Takashi is a well known composer for commercial music but takes it only as his work & no longer his passion. Murakami Amane is a bank teller who's been working in the bank for 3 years. She's always bullied by her superior & has become apprehensive of love since her break up a year ago.


Hasegawa Takashi is known as hata for his email name. Takashi sends a midi supposedly meant for his company, AVA but ends up sending it to a wrong add to Amane's (Teru teru Bozu's)account. Amane was captivated by the tune & wrote several mails to hata telling him about her feelings & the things she went through during her work.


Takashi ignores it initially but later finds that what Teru teru Bozu had said in her mails are very much similar to what his ex-girlfriend said. Just as Amane decides to stop mailing hata, she receives a mail from him.


"WHO ARE YOU?"


With these 3 words, the internet romance between hata & teru teru bozu begins..........


Main Characters


Hasegawa Takashi(Yutaka Takenouchi)

Hasegawa Takashi is a well known CM(commercial) song writer working in AVA. He was the leader of the popular band, Ashiu, but disbanded it when his girlfriend, Rina left without a word. Now he makes music as his work, not his passion. Known as hata on the internet, he sends a midi he composed to a wrong email address to Teru teru bozu. With his subsequent emails toTeru teru Bozu, he changes his opinion of love.


Murakami Amane(Misato Tanaka)

Amane is a teller working at a bank in the same building as Takashi. She bumps into Takashi all the time but has quite a bad impression of him because of his mannerisms. She receives an unknown email form hata & was captivated by the midi. Known as Teru teru Bozu, she writes daily to hata, telling him of her feelings & thoughts of her day.






Marry a Rich Man







Year: 2002


Director: Vincent Kok Tak-Chiu


Cast: Sammi Cheng Sau-Man, Richie Ren, Candy Lo Hau-Yam, Wu Feng, Jan Lam Hoi-Fung, Cheung Tat-Ming, Vincent Kok Tak-Chiu, Mark Lui Chun-Tak, Angela Tong Ying-Ying, Eileen Tung Oi-Ling, Ken Wong Hap-Hei, Joe Cheng Cho, Lee Kin-Yan


The Skinny:

Is this really a good movie? That's debatable, but Marry a Rich Man is a pleasant diversion with winning performances from Sammi Cheng and Richie Ren. If you count yourself among Hong Kong's popstar-obsessed populace, then you probably won't be disappointed. For a Lunar New Year film, this fluffy flick does the job.


Review by Kozo:

After a three-year hiatus, director Vincent Kok returns with Marry a Rich Man, a decidedly fluffy Lunar New Year Comedy starring box-office queen Sammi Cheng and her Summer Holiday co-star Richie Ren. Cheng plays Me, a propane delivery girl whose former classmates show up to brag about their rich husbands. Not helping matters is her father (Wu Feng), who constantly says that Me is a princess, and will marry a rich man and not some low-income bachelor like the ones that surround their Harmony Village home. Me's other option seems to be her best friend MT (Candy Lo), who wears her bisexuality on her sleeve and occasionally propositions Me.
Thanks to all of these factors, Me snaps and declares to the heavens (ala Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind) that she must marry a rich man. Cut to Destiny, Inc., a mysterious company that hears Me's cries via satellite. They decide to help her out by sending her a missile/package bearing a book entitled "Glass Slipper." It's a guide for hooking a rich man, which Me avidly follows. Her quest involves dressing like a rich person and hanging out in rich person circles, i.e. golf course, sanitariums for the rich, and most importantly, first class air flights to Europe.
It's on a flight to Milan that Me meets Christmas (Richie Ren), a cute, rich Hong Kong resident who immediately takes a shine to Me. She thinks she's hit the jackpot, but as soon as they land the two are pick-pocketed by a local. Undaunted, they go on a "poor man's date," making the run of Milan without a penny. And the two get along famously, leading Me to the conclusion that her cynical gold-digging plans have worked.
But that's only half the movie, and something is bound to happen which will stymie their materialistic romance. Well, something does, and quite frankly that's when the film really begins to pick up. Marry a Rich Man really takes its time to get going. The first half hour plods along with some strained comedy and too much reliance on Cantonese wordplay. The only thing it has going for it is Sammi Cheng, who's winning despite the calculated hijinks put forth in the script. The movie looks like it's going to be an overly bouncy, materialistic joyride featuring pretty people and little else.
Thankfully, that changes when the second half of the movie arrives. It gives Richie Ren a chance to show his stuff, which was noticeably absent in Summer Holiday thanks to his too-loveable character and Cantonese dubbing. Here, he handles his own Cantonese dialogue in a funny, game performance that shows he's not above a little comic embarrassment. He and Cheng have better chemistry this time out, and the film gives us better supporting characters, too. Candy Lo, Cheung Tat-Ming and Wu Feng turn in funny support, but it's Jan Lam who steals the show as Wilson, one of Hong Kong's richest men and one of it's strangest, too. As Me's alternative suitor, he turns in a deadpan, underplayed supporting role that gives the film a real lift.
All of the above helps offset the movie's obvious shortcomings: it's a Lunar New Year film designed to provide maximum return for an undemanding audience. Vincent Kok is a better director than Summer Holiday's Jingle Ma; he manages to sustain interest without resorting to manufactured pathos or slow-motion montages. I'm not giving anything away when I say that it all ends happily. That's what you expect from a movie like this, and they do their best to give us the super mega-mega happy ending. Yes, they want our heroes to be soulful, decent people who'd give up money for love, but they want them to be obscenely wealthy as well.
How they do all this would give away the plot (or the plot device, in this case), but it's not really important. What's important is this: did you like Sammi? Did you like Richie? Were they cute together? Was the film even passably funny? The answer to all the above is yes; this movie can be deemed enjoyable. That is, unless either performer gives you hives or you simply HATE Lunar New Year comedies. Then by all means, avoid this movie like the plague.
But the truth seems to be that audiences feel otherwise. Marry a Rich Man is further proof that Sammi Cheng rules the Hong Kong box office. Pitted against films starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (her leading men from 2001), her film scored a decisive victory over both. Marry a Rich Man was the number one Chinese film this past New Year. Cheng's death-grip on the viewing public may be the greatest case of mass hypnosis since everyone went to see The Ring. And count me among the hypnotized. (Kozo 2002)


Hari isnin malam selasa lepas aku nangga movie tok kat channel Tv3.besh juak la.aku nangga ngan gee.aku suka watchin' movie...so i think tonk this movie one of my favourite.

A short love story...

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry? and once again he replied with a no. She had heard enough . As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said....You're not pretty you're beautiful. i dont want to be with you forever. i NEED to be with you forever, and i wouldnt cry if you walked away...i'd die... i like u because of who u r to me. u r very special, if i don't get this back i'll take a hint.

I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor



At First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back, from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
To hurt me with goodbye
You'd think I'd crumble
You'd think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey hey

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
To break me with goodbye
You'd think I'd crumble
You'd think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive

Oh, go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
To break me with goodbye
You'd think I'd crumble
You'd think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
