Lost in Time

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketLost in Time is such a long whining story but an effective and marvelous one that reflects how life obstacles can lead to a wonderful ending. In this movie, Cecilia Cheung plays the role of a lady that met her soon to be husband in a bus that eventually killed him before they got married. For that, Cecilia faced a pretty bad time of her life. Overall, she played an extremely well part on her role, which actually garnered her the Best Actress Award for the Hong Kong equivalent of Oscar. Bravo. However, with a running time of almost 2 hours, I think the movie could have been shortened a little. Y'all know how much I hate movies that plays above an hour and a half.

Partial Synopsis

On a rainy day, Ah Man (Loius Koo) was driving home in his mini-bus licensed DY1314. A truck in the opposite lane lost control and crashed into Ah Man's mini-bus. Dai Fai (Lau Ching Wan), who was driving past the scene in another mini-bus, stopped immediately and tried to save Ah Man, who unfortunately was killed. Ah Man's newly wed Siu Wai (Cecilia Cheung) was stunned by the bad news when she was waiting for him at the station! Hit by the bad news, Siu Wai knew she still had to go on living, especially when there was Lok Lok, the son of Ah Man and his ex-wife Ah Shan. Siu Wai was determined to conceal her pain and stay with Lok Lok. Looking back when she decided to marry Ah Man, her family was strongly against their union. Now, her family again opposed to her raising the child. However, Siu Way had made up her mind. Ah Man's mini-bus DY1314 was special to Siu Wai and she insisted to have it repaired, regardless of the costs. She even decided to become a mini-bus driver herself...
