    Maybe next time...

    It's hard to figure out exactly what this movie is about. Is it just the story of 3 young people over a short period in their life? Is it about the different view each one of us has upon the same events? Or is there an underlying comment on the role of fate in our lives?

    I found it very difficult to find out what is wrong with Ming dai ahui zhu, because it's a "polished" movie; the direction and cinematography are fine and there's good acting. Then why did I find it so boring and uninteresting? I guess it's the script; the story lacks suspense, there are no climaxes and on top of that I am still trying to find out what was the point. Sure, the film has some qualities but overall it is rather disappointing.
