"That Girl In Pinafore" - 《我的朋友，我的同学，我爱过的一切》

 

 

I love simple love stories like this, it simulates my mind in writing my own.

Many would make comparison between this Singapore's teenage love story & Taiwan famous writer, "You Are The Apple Of My Eye" - 《那些年，我们一起追过的女孩》。

Since both stories evolve around secondary school days, it's inevitable that comparison are made.

If you ask me, I love both movies.

 

Both have their own strong points.
For the Taiwan's movie, it was directed by the author, 九把刀 himself.
His books never failed to touch my heart.
So by directing the movie himself, he is able to bring out the best in the storyline.

As for Singapore's "That Girl In Pinafore", it is closer to heart as the places where scenes were captured and the songs used in the movie are more than just familiar for those born in the 1980s like me.
Those places and songs held great memories for us.

One similarity for both movies is they choose to use fresh faces.
Not our usual big casts.
My preference?
Julie Tan is more of my cup of tea.
陈欣淇比较是我的那杯茶。

 



I won't label her as my goddess as there is only 1 in my heart now, Hebe Tian.

Ok, out of point. Yah, I prefer this type of long hair, small figure girl.

I think the plus point for this female lead is, she wears a pinafore.
My 1st girlfriend wore a pinafore for her school uniform, so it brought back fond memories of my 1st love.

 

As for the ending, I'm not going to be a spoiler here.

Though both ending were out of my expectations, I have a slight preference over "That Girl In Pinafore".

Reason being, I can never bring myself to understand why would anyone not marry someone he or she loves the most and settle for second best? (Like in "You Are The Apple Of My Eye")

As for That Girl In Pinafore's ending, I leave it to you to find out for yourself.

 

Find 1 day during this LONG weekend and catch it with your love ones.
Even watching it on your own should be a nice and enjoyable feeling.
Just sing along with the songs in the movie!
