Last year it was Black Rock Shooter. The year before that it was Nanoha the 1st. The one before that it was Candy Rain, Miao Miao and Crazy/Beautiful.

It seems that no matter how slow a year is, there is always that one movie, that one show that will make you glad you were alive to that day. That you had the chance to be able to see it.

Well guess what Ladies and Gentlemen, it is only the first quarter of 2011 and we already are glad to be here. The first treat of the year has to be the one Anime everybody is talking about. I am not a talker but if you spend your days off reading what other viewers think of an anime to the point of doing nothing else all day, then you have think of only one such epic anime – Madoka Magica!

But we already know the EPIC levels at which Madoka is having drink and dangling her lings from so I have to apologize but it is not Madoka that I write this. instead let’s get to the topic of the title.

A new movie is coming out soon that has had me going ballistic crazy with lack of sleep because of all the delusions I’ve been having each night. The fact that no a day has gone by that I’ve not watched it helps little to none. It’s suddenly my most view video on my phone.

Sigh.

See what I mean?

Any who, the movie title is…

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Official Site

Here is the official synopsis.

• Inspired by the bestselling novel SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN by Lisa See, the film is a timeless portrait of female friendship.In 19th-century China, seven-year-old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong – or “old sames” – bound together for eternity.  Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language, nu shu, between the folds of a white silk fan.In a parallel story in present day Shanghai, the laotong’s descendants, Nina and Sophia, struggle to maintain the intimacy of their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving Shanghai.  Drawing on the lessons of the past, the two modern women must understand the story of their ancestral connection, hidden from them in the folds of the antique white silk fan, or risk losing one another forever.What unfolds are two stories, generations apart, but everlasting in their universal notion of love, hope and friendship.

Now that, is what I call ‘Hook, Line & Sinker’. If that hasn’t gotten you all riled up, you don’t deserve it (JK).

It stars Gianna Jun/Jun Ji Hyun/ (Saya in Blood the Last Vampire) and Lee Bing Bing/Fan Bing Bing/. Of course everyone know the latter for I swear she is like the female version of Samuel L J. That lady has stamina with all the movies she’s doing. And I gotta say that I love all her roles.

In Twins Effect 2 she played the awesome Red Vulture who was like the Kyoko to Blue Bird’s (Gillian Cheng) Sayaka.

Then last year she played the Queen of the Universe in the movie ‘A Chinese Long Story’, who fell in love with Charlene Choi’s Character (But this was revealed only at the end so it was bittersweet).

Fan as Queen

Like if you don’t know who Ms Bing Bing is…

I will dump some Gianna and Fan pics soon. So you have absolutely no excuse.

Any who, the prospect of bonds that last through more generations than that of the Sailor Scout’s or even Chikane & Himeko’s is a treat to die for!

And I hear the movie is based off a book?!!

Dear Amazon,
