星願 Fly Me to Polaris 1999
Fly Me to Polaris is a 1999 Hong Kong romantic fantasy film directed by Jingle Ma Cho Shing (馬楚成) and starring Richie Jen Hsien-chi (任賢齊) and Cecilia Cheung Pak-chi (張栢芝) as lead roles while William So Wing-hong (蘇永康), Eric Tsang Chi-wai (曾志偉) and Sheren Tang Shui-man (鄧萃雯) as supporting roles.
Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.
There’s a catch: no one will recognize him and he will be unable to reveal his true identity to anyone. He returns nonetheless for the chance to see Autumn, and subsequently suffers untold buckets of heartache and pain as every last facet of his resurrection prevents him from reuniting with his stricken love, who apparently loved him too.
