Love has limits? - Love Will Tear Us Apart (2013)


Story is set in Beijing China, starts off with a young lady Miao Miao (played by Ni Ni) getting off an expensive car and enters another car with Jiang LiangLiang (played by Feng Shaofeng) who's driving.  She asks him to drive off with her with the expensive car trailing them eventually Liangliang was able to elude the other car.  With this, Miao Miao then hops off Liangliang's car into a taxi without bothering giving each others names.

As luck would have it, both were to meet again in one advertising shoot as Liangliang is a copy director on set while Miao Miao is a commercial model.  They had a connection and immediately they are in a relationship.  In such a short time thereafter, they lived together already.  This was a bad move as Liangliang found out how jealous and controlling Miao Miao really is.  She made a living hell out of Liangliang that they are constantly fighting already.  Miao Miao constantly nags him about his constantly meeting or talking with his ex girlfriend and his spending long hours with his workmates.  In the end, Liangliang felt he is constricted by their relationship.

This is not your typical romantic and sweet love story but instead its a love and hate kind of relationship.  Of one woman's love that encroaches on a man's life and of how a man's efforts dealing with such kind of a woman.  The film is head on drama and you will really feel how controlling Miao Miao is to Liangliang.  We liked how the story was laid out, from the very beginning, of how they met, the sweet moments leading to their relationship.

then relationship went south from there.  Miao Miao turned to be a nightmare for Liangliang.  We thought this was just a passing story and that somehow it would lead them to change and maybe just maybe they will live happily ever after.  This wasn't the case and their love have spiralled so much that love really did tore them apart.  However the ending of the story confused us as to how did it really end. 

The writer intentionally left us hanging as everything went on reverse without the actors acknowledging they went back to where they all started.

Overall the movie is a fatal attraction kind of love on the side of Miao Miao and we thought this was going to lead into a suspense thriller.  This was still a love story of sorts in a weird kind of way.

If you are into romantic comedies, this is not the movie for you.  If you like heavy dram kind of love ,then watch this and not expect a happy ending that you might expect.  Being positive people that we are, we believed that they had a happy ending, going back to the emotions where they all started, but this was presented as to the way we expect it to be.
