Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

kdgonk Cape No. 7 is a beautiful romance base on real life actual scenario although the actual story was just the letter came from Japan seeking an old address and the rest was fiction but this shows how great the director were able to transform a simple romance into colorful tear dropping romance movie.At 2008 when I first saw this movie I brought a DVD version for my friend back in South Africa with English Subtitle. He was able to understand most of the movie and translate only few subtitle he could not make any sense (Those were you have to be native speaker to understand)By KDGonK

fadingmemories47 I, too, grew up partly in Taiwan and am now living in the States. I'm from South Taiwan, and quite often frequented the town here the movie takes place.There are indeed a bunch of Taiwanese humor, and due to such may be difficult for those who are not so adjusted to the culture to understand.The plot was touching, and environment VERY local--I'd even call it authentic. It's not exactly an OMG AMAZING script, as plenty of Japanese cartoon (anime), with which many Taiwnese are familiar with, and a lot of older Taiwnese stories that are based around the general plot. However, that is not to say the movie wasn't creative, as it is arguable that there are only 5 stories, and seemingly infinite ways to present them.I personally loved the movie. It was touching, and admittedly, I cried--from flooding nostalgia of memories past.Because the majority of the movie is based on Taiwanese culture, it is definitely a hard one to push internationally, especially in the western part of the world.However, I felt that a movie like Cape No. 7 was long overdue in Taiwan, and believe that it is a first step for Taiwan to take to gain international footing in the movie industry.

choufish Few days ago,roommate told me this movie suck. Still i see this movie in middle night 2:00AM. After seeing this movie, something in my mind push me to say something here, to persuade others to see this movie?--maybe, i would love you to see this movie too. It is great, no doubt about it. It is about honor of country/family, love of people, passion of people. The story is good, jokes are good(maybe people in other country can't understand it very much, but from my sight, it is true word from people's heart),actress is pretty(pretty is not enough, she makes everybody wants to protect her, especially when she in his arm and say:why do you take advantage of me, i am just a little girl, work here, far away from home?) GO, see it.!!!!

petsteph1 I live in Taiwan and saw this with English subtitles at my local cinema in Tainan. It's not a stunning movie but it is very engaging and charming and best of all depicts many of the charming and engaging qualities of this country. The storyline follows two love affairs - one of 60 years earlier and the other unfolding in the present day. The acting is fine, the humor works well, it is well photographed and the music that pulls several of the subplots together lifts the already high mood and tone into a moving climax.I'm glad I saw it and feel I know Taiwan a little better through watching this movie - and spent 2 very enjoyable hours doing so.
