Comments on: Leap Years - One of the best local romance I’ve ever watched http://rinaz.net/2008/03/leap-years/ Diary of an eccentric Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:55:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: miles http://rinaz.net/2008/03/leap-years/#comment-27005 miles Sun, 11 May 2008 12:37:46 +0000 http://rinaz.net/2008/03/leap-years/#comment-27005 "Yes, I realised that only much later. The trailer song used in Leap years is not exactly the same as Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, even though both pieces sound similar to each other." Dear Rinaz, with all due respect, the trailer song is a complete rip-off from Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. I am shocked that Raintree Pictures has not (yet) got into trouble with the copyright laws because I think that this is an blatant disrespect to the original composer (aka Ryuichi Sakamoto). In a country like Singapore who has been activity promoting the anti-piracy movement, this is a sure slap in the face. I might get flak for this but one of the reasons why I have refused to watch The Leap Years is because if their sub-standard trailers. They were played tirelessly on all channels, including TVMobile and the commentator's lines were downright tacky. "Be sure to catch The Leap Years, or you'll have to wait for another 4 years!" Or maybe I should just watch a bootleg copy of the movie, since it's similar to the original. “Yes, I realised that only much later.

It was Wong Li Lin! I was so floored to see her. In front of me was an acclaimed actress! I throughly enjoyed her performance in Leap Years.
