About Winz: 9.) The Parallel Lines That Met Each Other

Two parallel lines will going to move infinitely but will never have the chance to meet each other. Well that is what math tells us. It is in all aspects true but not in the movie that our block watched last February 23, 2016 with the title “Turn Left Turn Right”, it is a movie released in the year 2003 and based on the book of Jimmy Liao with the title A Chance of Sunshine.

The movie is about the person being destined for each other but for some reasons destiny is kind of playing with them. The man is a skilled musician and the woman is a talented writer and translator. They were both good at what they are doing but don’t notice their talents. They have actually met before in a field trip but they haven’t got a chance to talk to each other. When the field trip ended the girl asked for the guy’s number before he comes down the train but the girl is just so clumsy that she left her bag on the train they are both riding thus losing the only way that she could contact him. Many years has passed and this two person is all grown up but they still remember each other not by names but their student number, the man being 763092 and the woman being 784533. Through destiny’s will the two again met each other in a fountain. It seems like destiny wanted them to know each other because even if they are sitting on the opposite side of the fountain still the destiny made its own way. The papers (this is where she puts her translation) of the girl got blown by the wind into the fountain, the guy saw this and he tried to help but his music sheets got also blown into the fountain. With their papers all soaked and wet they decide to scatter it the park and let dry. They both examined what is written in each other’s paper and they both complimented each other’s work only for them to know that those were just works of another artist. They did a lot of things in the park like playing with a kid and a dog. Also they tell stories about their lives and they recognized each other from the past. Heavy rain comes and they both needed to part ways and before they do that they exchanged the numbers with each other.

They were so excited when they got home and they are both ready to call each other but the numbers got washed out by the rain (the irony in this part is that they are just living on the same street in fact their apartment were side by side and their rooms were only separated by a wall ) . They also both got sick. Since they don’t want to leave their houses (they are afraid that they might miss the other one’s call) their condition went bad. They tried to guess the number written on the paper but they failed every single time. And so they just decided to ask a delivery from a restaurant, guess what they both ordered chicken.

A lot of things happened after that. They were both confined in a hospital again only a meter apart. The doctor who treated them and the delivery girl from the restaurant tried to part ways of our two lovers but in the end they both decide to help them because they actually fall in love with each other. they guy and the both accepted in their job abroad and before they leave the country the guy tried to call the number of his friend (the restaurant girl both know the number of our lovers and she gave 784533’s number to the guy and the doctor on the other hand gave 763092’s number to our female protagonist claiming that those number is their own). The managed to talk on the phone and just few moments late an unbelievable phenomenon happened. An earthquake occurred and it smashes the wall that separates their room only to find out that they were just a few feet away all those times.

The movie is so exciting and funny as well and it is a worth of experience. The whole block enjoyed it but the guys were somehow disappointed on the earthquake part. But anything else it is perfect.
