4- Turn left, turn right

                                                          

   Fate is a thing that will happen to a person or the future that someone or something will have. But for you, do you believe in fate? If you would ask me the same question I’ll say, yes. I do believe in fate. Every person is destined to be happy, to be loved, to be free, to be real and to be with someone. But sometimes fate is too playful. You actually do not know that the person in front of you is the one that you will love till the end.

  I want to connect this topic to the movie that we already watched last week which is ‘Turn left, turn right’.  This romantic movie is about a man who is an aspiring violinist and a woman who is a literary translator who are perfect for each other but it seems that destiny loves to play with them. Another thing about them is that they didn’t know that they’re just neighbours and they almost crossed paths with each other several times.

 Takeshi and Gigi met unintentionally at the park fountain. Then Gigi’s papers accidentally fell into the fountain. Gigi asked his telephone number. The two never got in touch because Gigi left her bag on the train and lost Takeshi’s phone number.  The two laugh while talking about the past and exchange phone numbers without asking each other’s name before parting because of the rain.  That night after that encounter they are both happy and excited to see each other again. Unfortunately both of them got sick because of the rain. While they’re in pain because of their flu, they kept on guessing the number written in the paper it is not readable because it got wet during the rainstorm.

One of the numbers they called is a restaurant that Ruby works at as a waitress and also a delivery person. When Ruby arrives at the apartment (Takeshi’s), she fell for Takeshi. Takeshi’s and Gigi’s flu becomes tough that they are both taken to the hospital. Then this Dr. Hu came inside the picture. Dr. Hu happens to be a former classmate of Gigi from the university who has a crush on her. Then this Doctor also believes in fate and  he tells Gigi that it must be fate that they met each other. While discharging, Takeshi and Gigi gave their keys to Ruby and Dr. Hu. Then both of them found out that Ruby and Dr. Hu moved into each of their apartments, but both of make it clear that they don’t have feelings for Ruby and Dr. Hu. Where do broken hearts go?  Dr. Hu and Ruby ended up being together. They planned something for Takeshi and Gigi.

Gigi and Takeshi are frustrated about not being able to cross paths with each other again and they decided to take jobs abroad. They are about to leave the apartment when the earthquake strikes, destroying the wall between them. And finally, after so many days they finally find each other.
