Good story.

My first Chinese movie which I enjoyed to watch and whose genere is not an Action.Usually I prefer to watch Chinese/ Hongkong movies which have "Action" genere and even in that Sir Jackie Chan or Sammo hung or Doonie yen must be in that movie.I watched this movie with intention of doing timepass because of good ratings. BUT later while and after watching, it was "worth to watch atleast once in a life".All the actors have good acting skills, Director must be very Lucky while making this movie.Story was not boring at all, so just a little bit of regret that it should have been more than 2 hours of movie instead of around 1:36 hours.

Remember, this one is original

I don't know much about cinematography in Far East, because I've only seen a handful of movies from there. Being from Europe, I can't really distinct between movies from China, South Korea, or Japan. I think it's in Japanese movies, where men always shout even in normal conversation -at least it sounds so in my ears.. but then, I don't speak Japanese :-)Lightning up the stars is quite emotional and entertaining movie. Story is simple and realistic, without pretending to be melodramatic. And so is the cast. They are not just "acting".. they are "real" and very good at that -I hope, you understand what I mean.To keep it short: If you're in the mood for "light drama", watch this movie before Hollywood decides to do a remake (and makes a cr*p out of it).
