THE FILM
The film “Blue Gate Crossing” by Taiwanese director Yee Chih-Yen (易智言) is a romantic drama about two best friends Meng Ke-rou and Lin Yueh-chen, who are 17-year-old high school girls, and an innocent love triangle. Yueh-chen likes the boy swimming champ Chang Shih-hao and asks her best friend Ke-rou to talk to him for her. Shih-hao, however, ends up liking Ke-rou. But Ke-rou is in love with her best friend Yueh-chen.
The film was nominated for Best Asian Film at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards held in 2004.
