What if you had a mental telephone? No, I’m not talking about the ability to read other people’s minds, but a real telephone --- only it exists in your mind. If you had to call someone, or if you had to call a random number, who would you like to pick up on the other end?
Ridiculous, ey? When I stumbled on this movie, I thought, if there’s dancing and cheeky fireworks, I promise not to giggle. Luckily, there was nothing remotely cheesy in this one --no dancing ( although I secretly hoped for a teeny bit) and definitely no gunpowder feast.
Calling You is a sincere and hopeful story of a young girl coming to terms with her identity and experiencing the heartache of a first love. It’s a short film that offers to send your heart in a flurry if you’re willing to shamelessly bawl at the end. It has no Disney ending. Like almost all Asian love stories, there is bound to be a tragic twist before the credits roll.
This gem is happy, sad and beautiful.
Mental telephones. Now that’s food for thought.
Hullo? Diiiyyyeeegooo?
