Featured reviews
It was Christmas Eve and I wanted to watch this movie and Cherry Magic. I put on the fire, made dinner and settled down to watch this film. I had to pause three times just to absorb just how raw and empathic this movie was to watch.
By the end, I was done. I couldn't manage to watch anything else. The narrative, the character development, the dialogue between the boy and the pastor, the realism and the cast are exceptional.
It's a movie that will communicate to many, that their experience and struggle through life, just to live in society, is understood and they're not alone. It reaches the soul.

32 years ago and now, there have been big changes for the LGBT community in Taiwan.
The movie still successfully builds a romantic school memory - a strong point of Taiwanese films, combined with history and love. In which, a nostalgic love, a troubled love gives you an indestructible tension. A love movie worth watching.
This movie just crushes my soul, even more so the second time I watched it. I relate to it so hard. I think there would be many others who also relate to it the same way. I wonder what my Birdy was thinking when he watched this movie. And did he recognise his role, that he was the Birdy in our relationship? Even worse, I wonder if it causes him regret.
It is an amazing movie, and speaks to the experience so many people had, and still have. Thank you for making it.

In a oppressive era, not everyone was allowed to express or stand up for their own love, so as the characters in this film. Based on a real story from the directer and compared to modern days, the film showed that in one is able to have a chance and bravery to love anyone if he/she is truly important regardless gender or some unfair values of the society.
This Movie is one of the most beautiful stories i have ever seen. You all should watch it without Thinkin' about Bad Or Negative Reviews for this amazing Film.
Trust me it's worth for your time.

- TriviaThe official title of the movie and the title song is the same in English - Your Name Engraved Herein. However the Chinese title of the movie is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In Your Heart" and the title song is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In My Heart".
- GoofsThe ending of the movie takes place in Québéc City, which is a twelve-hour drive from Niagra Falls. Additionally, it's a French-speaking location. Signage and dialogue would be either French or bilingual, yet for some reason are all in English. This is uncharacteristic of Quebec.
