"The Untouchable Lovers" are my three favorite Korean pure loves. One of the movies is about a love that can't meet in different time and space. Because of this theme, the film presents a faint sad mood. The soundtrack is mainly piano, violin, and viola. The rhythm is slow and gentle, warm and moving, consistent with the introverted love style of the hero and heroine, which makes people feel thick. Surrounded by moving.
At the beginning of the film, in the continuous sound of flowing water, the sound of piano flows, such as large beads and small beads falling on a jade plate. A set of long shots at a low angle takes us from the center of the sea all the way to the coast. The mist curls around and the viola accompaniment sounds. , The unique and rich sound quality makes people’s thoughts delicate and passionate. As the camera progresses, a seaside villa appears in front of us in the dimness. Beautiful, this is where the story happened.
The camera advances to the door of the cabin, Eun-joo sits on her knees and writes a Christmas card, "Actually, I left this letter to you because I have a request. I am waiting for someone's letter. If someone writes to me, please Forward the letter to the following address...December 22, 1999. Good luck to you at il mare.-Kim Eun Joo" Close the card, and there is another set of long shots. In the distance Eun Joo is about to move. Focusing on the postbox on the shore, when Eun Joo left, she put the greeting card into the postbox, and the camera advanced to give a big close-up of the postbox. The white clouds flowing under the blue sky seemed to herald the unusualness of the letterbox.
It is indeed unusual. The male protagonist who has just moved to this seaside villa received this card. He gave the cottage the Italian name "il mare" (sea), and learned from the phone calls between him and his aunt that he was the first owner of the cottage. He dressed up the trees by the sea with dots of lights, and the silent seaside had a Christmas atmosphere. At this time, he found the mysterious letter in the mailbox.
Why is it mysterious, because the sage at this time was in 1997. Xian Xing and Eun Joo are like parallel lines, living on their own. Their intersection is in il mare, which is said to be an intersection, but they are in two completely different time and space. Their only communication channel is to send letters to each other through the mailbox.
Eun Joo used to live in the sea. She likes to read her boyfriend's letters under the Christmas tree decorated by Xian Xing. She picked up a puppy, which was left by Xian Xing. On the carpet in front of the door, there were the puppies and Xian. When she moved out of the sea, she left a letter, hoping that the new guest could transfer the letter sent to her by her boyfriend to her new address. However, this letter was twice I received it from the wise star who moved here a year ago. So began a wonderful time-space pen pal friendship.
In the huge city, two lonely men and women warm each other with brushstrokes. They are all people with stories. Eun-joo and her boyfriend have been separated for a long time. She waited silently for her boyfriend until she realized that her boyfriend was empathetic. She was suffering from the pain of losing love. She watched her boyfriend return to her life as someone else’s boyfriend, lonely and sad. . Xian Xing and his father have a deep misunderstanding. They obviously love each other deeply, but they have always felt grudges, which seems to be because of his father's remarriage. My father is a well-known architect. He designed and built a seaside villa for his son. He was afraid that his son would resist, but Aunt Tuo gave it to him in the name of someone else. It wasn't until Eun Joo, who was far in the future, saw his father's work collection in the bookstore when his father died that he told him the story about the sea. Xian Xing learned that his father's deep love had passed away. He cried like a child. It was very unbearable. He wanted to touch his hair to give him warmth.
The next development seemed to be very harmonious, they came to a date across time and space. They shared each other's most comfortable pastime. According to Eun Joo, Xian Xing went to the convenience store, bought a bottle of beer, gulped, ran wildly, rode on the pirate ship, roller coaster, and vented loudly to find excitement and happiness in Eun Joo's way. Then Eun Joo took the bus to a street full of larch as Xian Xing said, and walked quietly, looking for inner peace. When she was a little tired, she went to a clean bar and tasted Xian Xing's special possession for her. wine. "I heard that people who like wine are lonely" Eun Joo smiled knowingly when she saw Xian Xing's message.
This is almost the film with the fewest actor and actress opponents I have ever seen. I have met five sides in total and only had one dialogue. But in this almost one-man movie, I was deeply moved by the actor's acting skills, so I remembered this name-Lee Jung Jae. Gentle and clean temperament, white and thin, between the boy and the man, with single eyelids, showing shell-like teeth when smiling, there is a smell like sunshine and melancholy poet when not smiling. You can use delicate facial expressions and body language to express the inner world of the characters without words.
On the first side, Eun Joo asks Xian Xing to help her find the tape recorder that was lost in the subway station two years ago. The two of them drove past the car window. It is estimated that Eun Joo did not see Xian Xing.
On the second side, Xian Sung has fallen in love with Eun Joo. He deliberately met Eun Joo in the subway station. He wore the women's earmuffs given by Eun Joo. He coughed shyly and cautiously, hoping Eun Joo would recognize him. Eun Joo, who was looking at the car window, was amused by him, so he also smiled stupidly, like a boy with a new love.
On the third side, Xian Xing couldn’t help but miss Eun Joo and went to the subway to meet Eun Joo secretly. He already regarded Eun Joo as a very familiar and important person in his heart, but he could only see two people who didn’t know him at all. Eun Joo years ago. When Eun Joo smiled and waved in his direction, he was agitated, but Eun Joo walked directly behind him, sitting affectionately next to her boyfriend in time and space, and talked happily. Xian Xing's lonely back showed his inner loss. He walked straight forward, but couldn't help but looked back. What a sad face was that "Am I so strange?" The subway came, and Eun Joo was holding her boyfriend. Walking towards the subway, Xian Xing stepped forward unwillingly, and stared at Eun Joo, his eyes and nose were red, the deep feeling and sadness in his eyes almost melted out, and the inner monologue "Am I still a stranger to you?" "Unfortunately, Eun Joo was only surprised at the person who was blocking her. With a glance, she walked away on the subway indifferently. The long piano music sounded, Xian Xing lowered his head somewhat dejectedly, and his chest rose and fell. He closed his eyes and waited for the train to leave the platform quietly. The whistling sound passed by, leaving only the empty station and lonely staring nostalgic. The sage of the back of the train.
On the fourth side, Eun Joo in 2000 begged the Hyun Sung of 1998 to go to the place where her boyfriend said goodbye to stop her boyfriend from going abroad, which led to the end of the final transference. In order to make Eun Joo, Hyun Joo had a car accident when he rushed to the scene. , While dying, she glanced at Eun Joo by the window of the restaurant with nostalgia, leaving two tears, and then closed her eyes forever...The
fifth aspect, Eun Joo wrote a letter in 2000 and immediately prevented the wise star from going. At the scene of the car accident, on December 22, 1999, at the beginning of the film, when Eun Joo was about to move out of the sea, Xian Sung smiled and walked up to her, picked up the puppy, Eun Joo asked, "May I ask if you are Who", Xian Xing took out the letter written by Eun Joo in 2000 to Xian Xing on March 25, 1998 from his pocket, showing a gentle smile: "From now on, I will tell a very long story. You will Believe me?"
At the end, a horizontal long shot, from the hero and the post-box, to the ill mare, to the sea level, "Must Say Goodbye" slowly echoed, echoing the opening, from sadness to relief to happiness , deeply moved, exports to Yin stars say no love, for his sake, for the grace bead finally understand their mind for almost Tianrenyongge, for the final reunion ......
unknowingly more than two thousand yards Words seem to have endless things to say. I appreciate the director's skills, the ingenuity of the plot, the performance of the actors, the lyrical soundtrack, and the implicit emotions. There is also a very good composition. Each frame of the picture is like a postcard. It is clean and free of clutter. The tones are fresh and beautiful. The changes in the blur of the lens fit the development of the character's psychology and plot. If you also like beautiful love, then please also appreciate it.
