East Meets West 东成西就 2011

Caught this premiere last Tuesday :)

Synopsis of the movie:

Ten thousand years ago, eight gods fought incessantly, not realizing that by doing so, they would be demoted into the secular world. They can only return to heaven once they can get along harmoniously. Ten thousand years later, they meet again in Guangzhou under different modern personas, not knowing they used to be gods. What unfolds is an urban romance full of jokes which can “startle the universe and move the gods”. When finally they discover that they are the gods who have been transformed into humans, they wonder why the eighth god has not appeared at all. Meanwhile, the newfound harmony is again thrown into disarray by the beginning of a love affair.

The immortals in the past coming to the present - funny and ridiculous as well :)
Perhaps the story line is too broad that I did not really get much out of the movie.

The movie was not that bad. It went about life, friendship and love.
Just because of that, conflicts are bound to happen.
& 38.6 degree - something about this in the movie that is really interesting.

The ending was rather touching.
This is what I got most out of it:
"Would you prefer to remember someone you can't love?
Or would you rather forget someone you have ever loved?"

I know I'm selfish but I would rather take the latter.
