Well, I guess some of you have already watched the film. So, I will leave the synopsis and main review to you … hiaks hiaks … 

My thoughts: 
-- It describes human relationship very well! Wow … and not just among brothers, but also between partners, but also between children and parents, etc … 
-- It is thought provoking … 
e.g., is it obligation, sympathy, compassion or acceptance? 
-- Some gripping scenes 
i.e., the confrontation at the beach 
i.e., the father and mother scene 
i.e., the preparation for surgery scene 
etc 
-- Great performance from the main cast! 
;)

A question to all who have watched the film 
-- apart from contrast, is there really any objective in jumping to and fro (several times) in terms of time frame? 
-- do you think the impact or effect will be lost if it were told linearly? Please explain. 
I ask because I think the effect will not lost … 

Conclusion: 
I highly recommend it.
