What better way to mark the start of the Lunar 7th month than by catching 881?
Certainly, it beats burning joss paper.
The movie was much better than expected - it made the audience laugh (Geri?!?) and cry, and made me dance in my seat.
And for a brief moment, it made me want to be a getai singer.
Ok, for just a split second.
Enjoyed the cheesy, over-the-top, melodramatic acting, the typical Royston dark/sad/hopeless character portrayals, the glittery costumes and melodic, mainly Hokkien songs.
The sad ending also reminded me of another 7th month show I enjoyed - Cupid Love.
Yes, it's the ancient one with Chen Hanwei and Zhu Yin, the one with the classic song - Guang Huai Fang Shi.
Now I can't get that song outta my head...
