It was a Josh Hartnett movie called Wicker Park.



I didn't expect this was such a shiok suspense movie!

It started with present scene about a guy who caught glimpse of his ex-girlfriend and he followed her and trying to find if it was her but he lost sight and was determined to find out her whereabouts.


Story flashbacked to 2 years ago where he worked in a local handycam stall and was meddling with the DV cam and caught sight of a blonde and was smitten by her so he followed her, in hopes of trying to get to know her.

As it turned out the blonde (Lisa) entered a shoe shop which belonged to Josh's friend, Luke. So Josh posed as a staff and served Lisa and that's how they got to know each other.

They were attracted to each other and they got together and Josh got a new job offer and wanted to ask Lisa to move to the other state with him but she disappeared without a trace and left Josh heartbroken.

Back to the present, Josh went back to Lisa's old apartment trying to find her (he still has the keys). Some of Lisa's old stuffs were still there and he was very sure Lisa is back... But, it turned out that some brunette lady who claimed that her name is also Lisa live there now.

So naturally since Josh thought he got the wrong lady, he wanted to leave but the brunette Lisa asked him to stay saying she has got a stalker downstairs and don't want to be alone. So they spent the night together.

With the appearance of this brunette woman, the real story starts to unfold....

Luke told Josh that he's currently seeing this girl who's a theatre actress. And this girl whom Luke is seeing is... brunette Lisa! So her real name is Alex! After a date with Luke, Alex went home and guess what, there Lisa was! They're both friends!

So the story flashback again! Alex was living alone in her apartment, she's a quiet & shy girl. There was a DV handycam shop she likes to frequent and there she met Josh and has a crush on him but do not dare to get to know him.

One day, Alex got a new blonde neighbour and that's how she gotten to know Lisa and they both became BFF since they live alone. Alex got a DV cam from Josh and was thrilled and played around filming Lisa but the cam was spoilt later. So it was a chance for her to talk to Josh again for sending the cam for repair.

So Alex left the cam with Josh and said she'd come back and collect later. Josh was fiddling with the cam and noticed a beautiful lady captured in the camera (That's Lisa) and it just so happen he saw the exact woman across the street... At the same time Alex returned and wanted to collect her cam and witness all these and immediately understood Josh like Lisa! She was crestfallen.

So Josh & Lisa got together, Alex was green with envy and was jealous cos she believe she saw Josh first!
The antagonist of the story

So this bitch began her plan of keeping them apart... As Lisa was a dancer, her troupe had a last minute 3-day performance at another city, she couldn't tell Josh in time and asked Alex to hand a letter to Josh. But Alex didn't do it and even said mean things about Lisa not being serious about this relationship with Josh and asked Josh to accept herself instead!

And when Lisa returned back, she asked Alex about Josh and she said Josh left with another woman. Lisa was sad... so the bitch managed to succeed to break the couple apart.

Back to the present, Lisa returned and stayed with Alex and habours thought of seeking Josh's whereabouts but was devastated to hear that he left with some woman 2 years ago.

In the meantime, Luke invited Josh to meet his girlfriend, Alex for a dinner and TADA!!! Alex didn't know Josh was Luke's friend and Josh thought this was supposed to be brunette Lisa! The lie was exposed...

The story flashback to few weeks earlier again to the starting scene of the movie where Josh caught a glimpse of whom he thought was Lisa. Josh was actually there with his colleagues for a dinner gathering...

At the other end of the room was actually Lisa waiting to meet Alex. Alex arrived and spotted Josh but didn't want either of them to bump into each other so Alex called Lisa by mobile and lied that she couldn't make it and urgently ask Lisa to meet her at another place.

In the end, Lisa don't know what was happening until Josh managed to find her and embraced her and once again he found his lost love....

Fwah~ It was really very thrilling & exciting to see the story going back & forth and revealing what actually happened between the characters!!
