The day before is getting slower
Cars, horses, and mail are slow
love only one person
South Korea's pure love movies are so well done, even if you watch the 2003 movie now, you will still be empathetic and moved. This is the third work of Son Ye-jin that I have seen, and the second film. In the era of no beauty and no filters, Sun Xian is still 360° without dead ends. It's really beautiful.
Starting from Zixi's accidental discovery of her mother's letter, two similar but different loves between the two generations slowly unfolded in front of the audience. Let’s talk about the love of the previous generation first. This love is the most embarrassing to me. Because of the times, because of the gap, because of various obstacles, it is difficult to have a happy ending love. Zhu Xi and Jun Ha are also such a pair. The love at that time was very pure, just because you showed me a beetle I had never seen before, and you took me to explore a haunted house that my family wouldn't let me go to, and the two fell deeply in love. The most beautiful and romantic place in the whole film is probably when Joo-hee and Jun-ha were frightened and screamed by the homeless in the haunted house, and they screamed naughty when they found out that they were not ghosts. On Jun Ha's way back with Zhu Xi on his back, Firefly followed the two young men back to the village.
One is the daughter of a member of the parliament, and the other is a poor student. In that era when it was important to be on the right track, the two were destined to be unable to be together. After school started, there was no chance to meet each other. Unexpectedly, the married woman given by Jun Ha's good friend Tae Soo's parents turned out to be Joo Hee. Tae Soo asked Jun He to write a letter for him. Although it was in Tae Soo's name, he was able to Tell the truth in the letter. It was also because of Tae Soo that Jun Ha was able to enjoy Joo Hee playing the piano. After the performance, Joon Ha held a bouquet of flowers and looked at Joo Hee from a distance, probably when the two made sure of each other's hearts. Later, they met in dance class, and the two secretly looked at each other while dancing, and finally held hands and danced together. It was full of simple, pure and careful joy of young love. Every time the street lights in front of Zhuxi's house flickered, it was Junhe who came to her, and they met secretly in the dark. Although the two truly love each other, this unrealistic love can only flicker in the dark night. In reality, Joo Hee is Tae Soo's fiancee.
Tae Soo is the kindest character in the movie. Although he is a child of a rich family, he does not have the habit of being playful. He doesn't mind that Jun Ha is a poor student and he becomes his best friend. He didn't like the arrangement of his parents, and he didn't want to be with Zhuxi because of his elders, but when he fell in love with Zhuxi, he found that she and his best friend had already fallen in love with each other. In fact, he had discovered it long ago. After the summer vacation, Jun Ha wore the necklace that his father gave to Joo Hee, but he chose not to break it, let Jun Ha write letters for him, or take Jun Ha to the show Learn to dance, tell Joo Hee Joon Ha's address, and hope to complete the two. Under the disapproval of his parents, he even thought of his own death to fulfill, for the happiness of his best friend, he could choose to sacrifice. Even if Jun Ha went to join the army, he knew that Joo Hee liked Joon Ha, but he was still willing to accompany him.
Love is pure and friendship is pure.
At that time, everything was slow, cars, horses, and letters were slow, so slow that I could only love one person in my life.
Jun Ha went to join the army, and the war scenes imitated Forrest Gump. He lost his eyesight during the war, but when he met Zhu Xi again, he contacted her many times just to smile at her and say, you are still so beautiful. Hope that Joo-hee can marry a better person, lied that she was married, and stopped giving her hope. Even the lies are for her, and they all want her to be better. How I hope that the two of them can break the shackles of the world and embrace and grow old together again. Although the next generation of love also dares to pursue what they love, but I have a hard time with Joo-hee and Jun-ha. The people who love each other are separated from each other, and it turned out to be a goodbye at first sight.
This movie has routines, coincidences, but not abrupt. It is these routines that promote the development of the story, and the love of the protagonist has empathy with us as the audience. The meaning of first love is different for everyone. In fact, it is an ordinary part of life. However, because it happened during that time, because of being with that person, no matter how small the heart is, it is infinitely magnified, and no matter how ordinary the day is. Shines brightly in memory. Those are the years that we can never return to in our whole life. We are young, we have endless possibilities, we are simple, and our love is simple. When you meet the right person at the wrong time, there is always helplessness and regret, but you can't hold hands and truly be together. If there is providence in love, we will meet again and fall in love again.
The star appeared that day
You know I start to miss again
How many loves can only be seen from afar
like moonlight on the sea
When we were young, we thought
Those who love each other will last forever
When we believe in love deeply together
Can't hear the sigh in the wind
who knows what love is
A brief encounter but never forgotten
use up a lifetime
learn not to forget
After watching the movie, I finally understood the lyrics of Li Jian's song. When we were young, we thought that the people who loved each other would last forever.
