In the history of world film, there are not many good films in South Korea, but Korean films have always won a small laurel for themselves with another existence. In recent years, many Korean films have been praised, such as "Taxi Driver", "Heavy Duty" Twenty Years Old", "I Love You", etc. These social and emotional films with a strong literary atmosphere not only attracted the love of Korean audiences, but also quickly swept Asia and even got remakes in China and Japan. A closer look at the reason is nothing more than the delicate and vivid plot in the film that moved people's hearts. "If Love Had Providence" directed by Kwok Jae-yong, released in 2003, is such a film. It can be said that after this film came out, it was almost enduring, people watched it every year, and it was mentioned every year. As a romantic film, it is not easy to be treated so favorably. Its goodness comes from all aspects. The story, narrative structure, characters, and even the episodes in the film have become the talking points of young literary and artistic people. Tell the story first. The story of "If Love Has Providence" is not a linear story about a love between a man and a woman, but a cross between the present and the past, and the love of children through the emotional entanglement and sacrifice of two generations. This kind of story itself It's very touching. China's five thousand years of cultural heritage, it itself pays attention to the theory of reincarnation and God's will. South Korea, which is deeply influenced by ancient Chinese culture, has done a lot of work in this regard. The love that one generation of parents missed due to various reasons is finally fulfilled because of the encounter of the next generation. Especially at the end, when Shang Min listened to Xiu Jing telling the story of his parents, he suddenly burst into tears, without saying a word, he silently took out a pendant from the clothes under his neck, this pendant was Xiu Jing's mother back then. Song Zhuxi gave it to his lover Wu Junhe, and all the truth came out. This buckle can be fastened or unraveled well. Leave "God's Will" until the last moment, that is, leave the suspense until the end. It's like pulling a bow. All the audience will follow the development of the plot and put their hearts on the bowstring until the film. In the last scene of the show, it shoots the bow out, hearty and unfinished, reaching the highest level of storytelling. A mother's unforgettable emotion has been fulfilled in her daughter's hands, which is another kind of fulfillment. This kind of consummation largely satisfies the audience's yearning for love and compassion for the characters. Let's talk about these two loves separately, which is one of the reasons why this film is so popular. Song Zhuxi and Yin Taixiu had a marriage contract because of their parents; Song Zhuxi and Wu Junhe met again at his grandfather's house in the countryside, and the two fell in love secretly; Yin Taixiu and Wu Junhe were the school's iron party, Yin Taixiu asked Wu Junhe to help him write a love letter to Song Zhuxi, This kind of relationship that is constantly being cut off and chaotic makes the three young people distressed and miserable. But it's not unusual The plot in the incident, such as letting Yin Taixiu bully others, or beating Wu Junhe violently, the two turned against each other, no, the screenwriter Gao Ming is brilliant at this point. In this love triangle, the three characters are very cute and beautiful, They are just fallen in love and helpless in the face of complex situations. Then again, who can escape the swamp of love during adolescence. After Yin Taixiu was beaten by his father with a belt, he chose to hang himself with a belt to solve the troubles of love, but was rescued by Wu Junhe in time. Wu Junhe originally had the opportunity to fall in love with Song Zhu, but he chose to go to the battlefield. War has always been the most irresistible destructive factor in love. Inevitably, Wu Junhe eventually lost his sight in order to retrieve the necklace that Song Zhuxi gave him under the fire. When the two met again in the cafe, that scene was heartbreaking. One is trying to disguise happiness, the other is trying to restrain tears. The two finally missed out, but the story didn't end, and it eventually continued to the next generation. Song Zhuxi's daughter Xiujing silently loves her girlfriend's boyfriend Shangmin, but she doesn't dare to confess. Amid the anxiety and doubts, in an unexpected heavy rain, she confirms their affection. This section has become the most classic section of romantic literary films. Many films have been imitating it, but have never surpassed it. The love experience between Xiujing and Shangmin is very simple, but the affection that continues on them is very deep. It is the youth memory of a whole generation. It not only entrusts the feelings of Xiujing's parents Yin Taixiu and Song Zhuxi, but also entrusts Shangmin's father Wu Junhe to Song Zhuxi. Unforgettable emotions. This kind of entrustment makes this film surpass all ordinary romantic literary films, and eventually become a small monument, standing in the hearts of all literary and artistic youths. When the sun shines on the sea, I miss you; when the hazy moonlight sprinkles on the spring water, I miss you. This classic line, together with the necklace, runs through the whole play. Wu Junhe wrote it to Song Zhuxi, and Shangmin wrote it to Xiujing. The father and son express their love in the same sentence. Although it is too coincidental, it is not bloody, because Poetic because of sincerity. This movie also made Zhao Yincheng popular. Although Zhao Yincheng at that time was different from Zhao Yincheng now, with a baby fat face and a double chin, many people have begun to pay attention to this young boy for his future film and television. The road has laid a good foundation. Son Ye-jin's performance is even more impeccable, two roles, two expressions, mastered just right, the mother's cheerful and lively, the daughter's shy and sensitive, the interpretation between Son Ye-jin's eyebrows and eyes is superb. The most commendable thing is that more than ten years later, when Son Ye-jin starred again in "Pretty Sister Who Often Asks for Meals", time seemed to stand still for her, nothing had changed, and everything was still so beautiful. It is said that time defeats beauty, in Son Yejin's place , Only time respects beauty. A good film always has a good reason. "If Love Has Providence" is to satisfy all the imaginations and expectations of literary and artistic young people for love. Simple encounters, beautiful encounters, vivid expressions, only you can't persist and wait. , and describe the ripples caused by throwing the stone of love in your heart for everyone to see. More importantly, director Guo Zairong's films have always been known for their clean and beautiful pictures, which undoubtedly echoes the development needs of the plot. How many people have really loved, how many people will like this movie; how many people have really cried for love, how many people will recite "If Love Has Providence" in their hearts. This is a wish and a wish. I hope that all those who love each other can wait until the will of God, and I hope that all love will be sheltered by the will of God.
