7 Jun – "Me Before You", one of the most anticipated romantic movies this year, kicked off the second quarter of 2016 with the first pre-screening of the movie early last week. 

The screening was held at Legend Cinemas, attended by many anticipating moviegoers. 

When the first trailer for the movie was released two months ago, it immediately went viral as everyone was very excited for the big screen adaptation of the romantic novel written by Jojo Moyes.

"Me Before You" reminds audiences to live well and to live boldly.

Among the fans who attended the event were multi-talented Cambodian movie star Chea Vannarith and his wife, both who were looking forward to the Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke-starrer.

"The movie is so sad and heartbreaking, though it's a very beautiful movie with deep meaning," said the couple when asked about their thoughts on it after the screening. 

"Me Before You" tells the story of a girl in a small town, Louisa Clark, who forms an unlikely bond with Will Treynor, a recently-paralyzed man she is now taking care of.
