Cyborg She 我的机械女友

It was decided at the very last minute. Watched Cyborg She, a Korea-Japan production. $7.50 at Plaza Singapura GV.

List of people who attended the outing:
1. Me
2. Edwin
3. Jia Yun
4. Wei Long
5. Zhi Jian (Movie only)
6. Cheung Jie (Movie only)
7. Samuel (Movie only)

Oh yeah, saw Joseph and Josephine there in the 电影院 (don't know how to spell 'T-yet-ter') as well.

Had a 'Indoesian cuisine' fried chicken set at PS food court. $4.80. Consisted of a fried drumstick, a scoop of rice + optional curry gravy, 1/4 or 1/6 of pan egg, a small bowl of soup. Not bad, would recommend this to friends. Why I put inverted commas is because I saw two Chinese aunties preparing the food! What's the link?

Jia Yun had this grilled chicken set from the same stall for same price. Looked not bad too. Edwin had this dumpling noodles with a super big bowl of soup. $3.50. Well, it's worth it. The most bo hua is Wei Long's lunch liao. $5 leh!

Enough of the lunch, come straight to the movie:Official websai: http://cyborg.gyao.jp/

I-weekly rates this movie 3/5.

The 导演 (English term is producer or author?) is from Korea. The actors and the settings are from Japan.

Some spoilers ahead!
Cyborg She came about because of this male lead. He (21 + 61 = 82 years old liao) doesn't want the gun incident to happen to him as of now, so he created this artificial girl who would travel back 61 years ago to change his 'fate'.

Some interesting things happened along the way. I always like to see the interesting part lor! Like what special powers she got. Sort of created some humour out of it and I laughed.

She's the superwoman! Everytime she saves a few lives out, including the male lead himself. This is nice despite is a bit no link la. Perhaps it's the old male lead (the 82 years old) who doesn't want unpleasant things to happen.

After that here comes the clubbing part. The male lead danced with a girl, while the female lead danced with another guy. Then male lead got jealous with her liao. Then in the end he beh tahan her, felt she's too much and even said he doesn't want to see her again.

At the end, there was a big earthquake. The female lead saved him again! But in the end she got crushed by the falling debris and 'died'.

Then when his young male lead got old, 61 years later, he recreated the same thing again. In year 2133, it happened that a girl, who resembled the cyborg she successfully bidded for the robot, had the chance to travel back to year 2008 twice!

The story ended with the normal girl fell in love with the male lead at the earthquake scene so much so that she planned to stay in year 2008 after the 2nd travel.

Opinions towards the movie:

1. The movie has some similarities with the movie 不能说的秘密. 1stly, both are romance movies. 2ndly, both use time travel as a tool to match the male and female together. 3rdly, the story ends with either one travel thru time to another time frame and stay put there.

2. The female lead sway sia... At the earthquake part, everytime kena falling stones and debris. This one no link... =.=

3. The parents gave birth to the girl who travelled must be grivened. Because the girl is gone forever...

4. Even more no link is the visit to hometown part. Is it 导演 wants us to remember our roots? Or to pursue our childhood memories? This part is more on the visual impact.

5. The songs are nice. Where to get them?

6. I hoped the 导演 did his maths correctly. It seemed to me that the maths and age don't tally...

Overall rating: 3/5
