I just came back from "To The Fore" movie premiere yesterday. Thanks RAM Entertainment for the movie invitation to watch the movie "To The Fore" first hand before the movie is release in cinema. This is not only a sport movie, but a movie about friendship, love and so much.
FuYing & Sam, local artist
Teng Bee, Movie Director
Ka Man, Model
Lydia, Model
Before the movie start, I able to meet some local artist, movie director and also famous model like FuYing & Sam, Teng Bee, Lydia, Ka Man and others. After i entered the hall, i realize that almost half of it were Malay Friends. But during the movie, I noticed that language is not a problem. Even though some cannot understand mandarin, but subtitle was prepared for them. So, laugh still can be heard inside the movie hall.
Synopsis:
The domestique forces an opening. The escort and support cover. The sprinter seizes the advantage - strikes To The Fore. A professional cycling team moves with the speed and power of military Special Forces. Each member plays a tactical role, motivated by a single strategy. Victory belongs to the team, not the individual.
Race after race, the storied Radiant team, led by the brilliant Korean attacker Zheng Zhiyuan (CHOI Siwon), has become the virtual enemy of all cycling teams. While training, Zheng’s explosive technique and power blow away the rookies Chou Ming (Eddie PENG) and Qiu Tian (Shawn DOU). They agree to become Zheng’s domestiques to lead the assault on the road for him, creating finish line opportunities. The perfect coordination of the three riders defeats Radiant’s archrival Phantom. When Zheng receives all the accolades of victory for himself, Chou and Qiu realize that there’s only one winner, in spite of their team effort. As domestiques, they’ll never be number one. One year later, Chou and Qiu strike out on their own, each becoming a sprinter, competing head on with Zheng. But because of their own teams’ weak domestiques, they are defeated at each turn. Haunted and trapped between the demons of victory and defeat, the two riders’ paths spiral downward, with no second changes.
After years of aimless wandering, Chou crosses paths with his old teammate Qiu, now down and out, and Radiant’s former team mentor in Taiwan. Their camaraderie rekindles a lost but not forgotten passion for racing. The three form an amateur cycling team, to fight again from the bottom. Chou and Tian no longer compete with each other to be sprinter, instead they rediscover the pleasure and thrill of riding in the old days. When Zheng finds out that Chou and Qiu are competing in a local race, he shows up with his world-class Radiant to wage war on the amateurs, to the shock of the cycling world. The once perfect team of three is once again in competition. This time, however, Chou and Qiu, wiser and more agile than ever, have the ability to alternate between sprinter and domestique, as fighting partners. Can they break down the headwinds and overcome Zheng’s prowess to create a miracle?
I am really touched by the movie, especially when Chou Ming did something to help his girlfriend to recover after serious injury. Not only that, the scene where Chou Ming purposely fly over to Busan and look for Qiu Tian to help him pay off his debt in Busan shows the friendship between them that build for years where Chou Ming can do something just to help Qiu Tian.
I will say "To The Fore" really worth to watch. It will available on Cinema from 6th August 2015. Show your support by watch the movie in Cinema.
