海角七號 Cape No. 7

Cape No. 7 is the best selling Taiwanese made movie and is second to only Titanic in Taiwan. It won 6 Golden Horse Awards in 2008. Seriously a very well made movie. The story is about a summer concert that is hosted by a high end hotel and how the event turns a group of misfits into a band and an unlikely pair of failures into the romance of the year. The plot is a little bit undeveloped but that reflects part of the Taiwanese laid back culture. I was also a little surprised by the alcohol and sex scene which is tasteful but still a bit of a shock.

Watch Here! with English subtitles, but the video quality sucks. :(

Here are the first two of the songs that the band sings in KTV format.
