What is Cape Seven about?

A large-scale concert will be held on the beach of Hengchun Summer Beach Hotel. Due to the insistence of the local people, the Warm-up Orchestra will be performed by local musicians, so they will replace postman A Jia (Fan Yichen), millet wine salesman Malasang (Ma Nianxian), motorcycle drummer Shui Wa (Xiao Ying), aboriginal policeman Ma Lao (Min Xiong), old postman Mao Bo (Johnny Chung-Jen Lin) and primary and secondary school students (wheat). Miss Tomoko (Chie Tanaka), the Japanese producer of the concert with strict personality and depressed mood, has a headache, and Ajia, the lead singer of the training group, has been refusing to cooperate with her, which makes her worry all the time.

As the performance time approached, the conflict between the two became more and more fierce. Unexpectedly, an expired love in a package that said' No.7, Maofandi, Hengchun County, the former site of the Japanese occupation era' quietly triggered another transnational love after half a century.

Film evaluation

Exquisite music production

Cape 7 chose Fan Yichen and Kousuke Atari. Kousuke Atari, in particular, taught himself the style of island songs (a Japanese folk song). His voice was praised as full of transparency and his singing had a sense of purity. The whole film has many impressive music scenes and rich elements. Folk music, western culture and pop are all caught in the net, and the emotions of joy, resentment, sadness and sweetness are also incisively and vividly expressed in music. Singing a bit sour songs, first unadorned children's voices, and then the music sounded to keep up with the original sound, overlapping together makes people vaguely moved. Then came Fan Yichen's English solo, taking the britpop route, which subverted the customary impression left by Fan Yichen. (From New Evening News)

The plot is unforgettable.

The film focuses on two love stories separated by 60 years, one of which ends perfectly, and the other is undoubtedly incomplete, which is even more sad and helpless. Such a different ending has a parallel development in the film, so that the audience can't help but follow the director's guidance to find the disappeared "Cape No.7", witness the "return" of that incomplete love, and wish a young couple a sweet love. Although there is no ups and downs in the plot, the voice of * * * is stirring and memorable. (From Beijing Morning Post)

Successful characterization

The success of Cape VII lies in presenting the life of a nobody in the southern province of Taiwan Province. They face life happily, face differences freely, face history generously and face the audience sincerely. (From Youth Times)

The exciting thing about the film is that although each character lives humbly, he does not give up his insistence on life. The little people also released themselves in the performance and experienced the wonderful life. The little people in Cape Seven moved the audience because they "face life happily, face differences freely and face history generously". Let the audience feel sad and find their own shadow from the role. (From International Online)
