电影介绍：
孙 纳出身贫苦但志存高远，为了生存和成功，她不择手段，终于成为人人艳羡的大明星，然而命运弄人，十年之后在她要努力忘记一切的时候，她生命中两个重要的男 人同时出现了——三人要同演一出戏，剧情和命运却惊人的相似，戏里戏外，已难分真假，在孙纳的心中，到底有没有爱过，他与他，究竟如何抉择……
故事发生在2005年的上海……中国当红女演员孙纳(周迅饰演)，与香港最红的男明星林见东(金城武饰演)，将在一部中港合作的歌舞片中合作，而该片的导演是孙纳的男友─著名大师级导演聂文(张学友饰演)，他也将破天荒地参与演出。
也许，故事的开始应该追朔到十年前，1995年的北京……那年，林见东前往北京去读电影，他一心想挑战自己读电影导演系的野心，却惨遭滑铁卢。他的成绩只 是平平，理想完全破灭。就在心灰意冷之际，他遇上了孙纳，当时，孙纳在一个歌舞团当洗烫工，却已雄心壮志，努力要成为一流的歌舞演员，同时她更身兼多职， 赚钱养活湖南乡下的家人，对于只会伸开手掌问家人索取生活费的见东来说，孙纳顿时成为他祟拜的对象，鼓舞他重燃斗志。
这一段情缘，本来可以有个美好的回忆，可是……见东发现孙纳为了多赚一点钱，竟不择手段，天真的见东一心为了帮孙纳找岀路，介绍她认识一些电影制作人，孙 纳竟暗地出卖了他；天偉被她若即若离的态度所困惑之际，孙纳只留下字条一张，说她所做的一切只是「报答」见东的引荐之恩！孙纳从此消失，见东的大学生活也 结束。
一晃就是十年，他们都分别成为大明星了……聂文对孙纳跟见东十年前的事，完全不知情，而凑巧的是，他将导演的这出歌舞片，正跟现实中他们三人的关系，一模一样……，十年前的恋人再次出现，女主角不知如何抉择，电影就如戏里戏外，上演着同一个故事。
十年不见，见东对前事不能忘怀，身经百战的孙纳却好像抺掉了记忆，原来她早就决定，在她成名之后，以前的事，她会统统忘掉，其中包括忘掉林见东这个人。 见东不停的提起往事，他不能接受一个人可以将回忆抛诸脑后，孙纳被他迫得无处可逃，终于被他感动，往日的种种，十年来，第一次在她脑海里出现，一幕一幕 的，她想着想着，哭了。只是她不知道的是，见东回来的目的，却并不是要再追求她……
见东哀求孙纳跟他回北京一趟，说要重温他们十年前的时光。而他却在孙纳终於肯回忆过去的時候，留下了一封信，随之离去了，信中说他回来是为了复仇。
与此同时，在片场，男女主角突然失踪，身为男友兼导演的聂文，伤心之余，又感到挫败。也许他跟孙纳之间，从来没有出现过爱情，一切都只是利益所趋。孙纳要他捧红她，而捧红她之后，事业日走下坡的聂文又需要她的名气，所以如今孙纳找到真爱，就让她走吧。
见东与孙纳从北京回到上海拍摄最后一场戏，聂文将决定告诉孙纳，孙纳听完，竟心如刀割，像死去了一般，她没想到原来聂文已成为她的一部份。见东亦发觉所谓报仇，只是自欺欺人的把戏，他仍十分爱孙纳。
拍最后一场戏了，片中的孙纳，要开枪将聂文饰演的男友杀死，然后与见东饰演的情人远走高飞，但孙纳竟不忍心开枪，一叫停机，她更控制不了自己，大哭起来，片场的人看见了，见东看见，聂文也看见了。
影片拍毕，聂文已决定，他要重新爱自己，爱身边的人，爱他拍的故事，他像见到了新天新地……见东临别时告诉孙纳，别忘记北京，那里的回忆，将成为他们最 珍贵的唯一！孙纳一直以为自己只是个不择手段的女人，原来在挣扎求生的路上，她也爱过！她不再害怕回忆，丰盛的回忆 ─ 将成为她的宝库。 |
Film Name: Perhaps Love
Director: Peter Chan Ho-Sun
Leading Roles: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhou Xun, Jacky Cheung Hok-Yau
Date of Premier:2005
Film Introduction:
Love can be bittersweet – though sometimes, it’s far more bitter than sweet. That’s the prevailing feeling from Perhaps Love, the new Hong Kong musical from director Peter Chan. Takeshi Kaneshiro stars as Lin Jian-Dong, a Hong Kong heartthrob arriving in Shanghai to work on a new musical from director Nie Wen (Jacky Cheung). The film’s leading lady is Sun Na (Zhou Xun), a driven-for-success actress with a popularity that extends to Hollywood. Sun Na has long been Nie Wen’s partner – both on the screen and off – but this new collaboration has issues. Nie Wen doubts his creative fire, and looks to his new film to reassert his once-established filmmaking genius. Thanks to Nie Wen’s artistic temperament, the relationship between the two suffers from some strain.
But with the arrival of Jian-Dong, Nie Wen and Sun Na’s relationship is about to get a whole lot messier. The plot of Nie Wen’s musical concerns a pair of young lovers, who are separated when the girl loses her memory. The girl (played by Sun Na) is taken in by a circus ringmaster. She becomes a showgirl, and she and the ringmaster fall in love. Eventually, the boy (played by Jian-Dong) shows up, and strives to rekindle their love. The role of the ringmaster has yet to be cast, so Nie Wen eventually places himself in the role. But what Nie Wen doesn’t know is that his musical is a dead ringer for reality (cinematic reality, anyway). Jian-Dong and Sun Na were actually in love ten years prior, and the dissolution of their love had everything to do with Sun Na’s ambition. Now, she merely wants to forget her past, but Jian-Dong is here to right that wrong. Nie Wen, like the ringmaster, is the third party who can only watch as his new love is reunited with her old one. Art mirrors reality, and soon Nie Wen’s script begins to change to reflect life. There’s also singing.
The love triangle of Perhaps Love is familiar stuff as plots go, but that’s easily forgiven. Movie musicals are seldom known for their amazing stories, but instead for how they marry song, dance, and drama into a coherent, and hopefully enchanting whole. Unfortunately for Perhaps Love, that’s where things hit a bit of a snag. Perhaps Love features many musical sequences, but they’re all set within the “musical within a musical”. Basically, the only time actors break into song or dance is when they’re required to by the musical they’re shooting. This style is much more “real” than the stagey “I feel a song coming on!” rationale that permeates most classic Hollywood musicals, but the result is an obvious distance. Characters don’t really emote in their songs; instead, the songs elucidate established emotions or plot. Frequently, the songs even serve as montage, which is effective but not intimate. Some overdone editing also hurts some of the numbers, particularly the earliest ones. Ultimately, whatever power some of the musical sequences possessed feels muted by these choices.
Lacking overt power to affect, the musical sequences instead rely on the actors to carry them. The effect varies here, with Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhou Xun’s singing evoking comparatively little, especially when compared to Jacky Cheung. Cheung smokes both off the screen with his rich vocals and obvious charisma during his musical sequences. This isn’t to say that Zhou and Kaneshiro are bad in the film. On the contrary, both serve the script exceptionally well. Occasionally, Perhaps Love flashes back to Jian-Dong and Sun Na’s happier Beijing days, and the growth and ultimate bitterness of their love affair is conveyed remarkably by both the actors. Kaneshiro has long excelled at playing handsome, yet emotionally-crippled individuals, and Perhaps Love gives him ample opportunity to fix his heartbroken puppy-dog pupils on his costar. Zhou Xun does a remarkable job with a difficult character. Sun Na’s change from loving girlfriend to attention-hungry performer is spelled out mostly through visual exposition, but the actress handles her character’s complexities convincingly, and with frequently touching emotion…
