The Second Woman 2012 123movies

Watch: 情谜 2012 123movies, Full Movie Online – Hui Bao is an actress rehearsing for a performance in a theater play alongside her boyfriend Nan. Falling sick and being unable to perform in the play, her twin sister Hui Xiang replace her as an act of kindness. However, Hui Xiang performs outstandingly eventhough having no drama training. Hui Bao starts to suspect that her twin sister has a romantic interest in her boyfriend, and it drives a wedge between the them..
Plot: One suspects writer-director Carol Lai may have harboured some Black Swan ambitions with a tale that also centers around a stage practitioner who embarks on an unwitting destructive journey when playing a role to die for. The Second Woman, whose Chinese title Romance Riddle may hold better clues as to how this film developed, being more of a guessing game that threw constant clues rather than a overly romantic film about twins falling in love with a man who decided it’s perfectly OK to string both women along, until he discovers that this spells double trouble.

An enjoyable outing !
I personally had no difficulty following this film. The theme of sibling rivalry is always of interest. Qi Shu did a great job playing both sisters. When murder enters the scene and we are forced to guess which sister is which things get exciting. Personally I love films that allow me to choose how things ended. I can go for days trying to remember clues and re-watch the film. I think its an insult that Hollywood films have to spell everything out for you as if you’re a child….and of course give a happy ending. Well not many things in life end happily and its great to watch a film that is real.I think you just need to check it out as some either like or hate this.

Oh, and by the way, to the man who commented that he watched this to follow Hong Kong films. Well, its in Mandarin and everyone in Hong Kong speaks Cantonese. It certainly has investments from HK but it was released as a mainland film.

Shu who?
Shu Qi is so nice, you get her twice, that’s who. Jokes and puns aside, this movie is clearly a riff on Black Swan with an added twin love story woven in between. I had forgotten that Black Swan was released 2010, 2 years before this movie got out. But its influence is clear, whether you find that appealing or not is up to you.

Appealing is something that rings true for Shu Qis characters. And you can somehow understand the love interest in this being confused at times. On the other hand, he seems a glutton for punishment. There are hints that should suggest him breaking his ties to Shu Qi and try something new (but again, if you’re a fan of her you can understand his dilemma).

Having said all that, there are too many holes in the story and even the very crazy twist towards the end may not be able to sustain your interest or win it back for that matter. Still a nice piece for Shu Qi to stretch her acting muscles
