"Don't go." In the cedar forest in winter, the boy's lips were pale, and he said the first sentence of his life with a trembling voice.
The girl standing opposite was startled for a moment, and tears poured out even more frantically.
On that small road, she forced herself to order him to leave, even at the expense of saying things she hated him. In her excitement, she slapped the boy, but immediately touched the place where he was beaten with regret, pain, and pity, and cried. : "I'm sorry, Zhexiu." The
boy couldn't keep her, and looked at her crying, turning back and leaving, tears streaming down his pale face.

Since the first time I watched "The Notebook" in my sophomore year and cried, I haven't been able to control my emotions because of a movie for a long time.
After I turned off the lights at 10:30 and went to bed, I replayed the scenes in the movie in my mind, and I couldn't help crying silently again. After the sensibility was over, the occupational disease seemed to be committed again, and I began to compete again about the film's composition, scenes, and themes similar to "Edward Scissorhands" and other professional issues. However, after thinking about it all night, I still want to talk about this movie in an emotional way. In the end, I can't bear to live up to such a beautiful story.

Chunyi, who suffers from lung disease, moved her family to the countryside to recuperate. Her father's early death and her weak body made the young girl in her prime with infinite sadness. On a night when no one was there, she took out a notebook from under her quilt, while While weeping, he described his despair.
Neighbors are vulgar and dirty, deserted countryside, no peers, no friends. For Chunyi, life has always been bad, and her own existence is like a burden, dragging down her mother who worked hard to support her family with proofreading.
The appearance of the young man has become an opportunity for Chunyi to change.
After the Korean War, the boy was an orphan after the war and was caught by the previous owner of the villa to conduct experiments. South Korean political officials want to train more aggressive soldiers by implanting wolf genes into humans, so they send people to carry out cruel experiments.
After the previous owner of the villa died of a sudden heart attack, the wolf boy was left alone in the small room at the end of the cage. On the first night of the move, Chunyi noticed the sound and opened the door to release the wolf boy.
Dirty, smelly, vulgar, devoured like an animal...
In the beginning, Chunyi was so disgusted with the young man that she was frightened by the way the young man was eating, and expressed that she felt that she would not eat with him.
Then, moved by the inadvertent help of the young man, the idea of ​​parenting was born.
For the first time, at the cost of being bitten, he successfully cultivated the first Pavlov effect of the boy.
"Wait." The girl said lightly, and the boy immediately stopped gobbling down, his whole body was like a stone.
"It's alright." The boy devoured it immediately and grabbed the bean sprouts in his hand.
"Wait, you can eat it, but a little less." The boy let go and twisted a few bean sprouts.
"We Zhexiu are so good!" The girl smiled and patted his head.
All the family members and the two children who came to eat dinner were stunned.
The girl seems to have a purpose in her life. Every night when she writes about her decadent and despairing mood, she throws away her notebook and takes out the "Pet Training Encyclopedia" under her pillow and reads it with relish.
The process after that has a beautiful name, called: domestication.
In "The Little Prince", the little fox said to the little prince from planet B-612: "Please tame me!"
The process of establishing bonds between people is romantic and warm.
During that time, the sunlight was golden, the furniture in the room, the hair and faces of the boys and girls were all warm golden, gentle and beautiful.
She taught him to write, crookedly, full of childishness.
She taught him to use chopsticks, poking left and right, and finally picked up a piece of bean awkwardly.
She taught him how to speak and let her watch his mouth pronunciation, but he was always inaccurate, stared at her seriously, and stared at her blushing shyly.
He did a good job learning to brush his teeth, and she patted his head.
He learned to fold the quilt and put it in the closet, she touched his head, and he hooked the corner of his lips happily.
He did well in learning to tie his shoelaces. Seeing that she didn't respond, he moved his head over to him. She ignored her. He leaned into her arms and insisted on letting her touch it.
He put the rice bowl into the sink correctly, and brought his head over to let her touch it.
At first, she did treat him as a pet.
Her life has become richer because of him, and her character has gradually become cheerful and integrated into everyone's life.
They went to tear up the homework books to feed the goats, and hide from the goat uncle together.
She sat in the living room playing the guitar and sang to him, the golden sunlight flooded into the room, drawing a golden border out of her outline, her cheeks were quiet, she opened her mouth softly, and sang a song that belonged to the girl's mood, he sat on the ground, He stared at her blankly, breathing faster. He couldn't speak, just leaned over and touched her head, expressing his love for her as she did to him before.
They went to the grass to play football together, and occasionally she would deliberately say "wait" to grab the ball from his feet, screaming with joy after winning, making her sister angry.
They played football on the hillside until the golden sunset filled the western sky, and the family made the meal and called them home to eat, and then go home with the splendid sunset.
He was sitting on the sofa in front of the bathroom door. He was so sleepy that he still waited. As soon as she opened the door, his eyes lit up. Unwilling to leave, she lay down at the door. She sensed the movement in the room, dragged the quilt to the door of the room and lay down. Across the thin door, the two of them lay quietly, warmly making people want to cry.
At that time, the love was born.
At that time, he liked her and regarded her as his partner.

What a wonderful fate for them to meet. And how cruel fate is, breaking all the peace and cutting off the lives of the two individuals abruptly.
As soon as Taizhi appeared on the stage, he showed his superiority as a child of a wealthy family. He bought a villa and let the three Chunyi mother and daughter live in it, and came to harass Chunyi from time to time.
This rich young master has a cruel and evil root in his bones. Bullied and fearful, he harassed Chunyi several times and was scared away by Zhexiu. Because of jealousy, he hired someone to "clean up" Zhexiu on a drunken night.
Chunyi's being beaten completely angered the boy, and the wolf-like boy easily injured a few gangsters, and finally calmed down because of the girl's "Wait".
Tae-chi, who was mad with jealousy, ordered Chun-yi and her daughter to drive the boy into the original cage. He learned about the boy's secret through the former owner of the villa, and brought the scientist and the captain to the village, trying to get rid of the boy.
Zhexiu was put on a chain and locked in a cage. In order to meet him, Chunyi sat outside to review her homework in the cold weather, and stared at her through the small window every day.
After several days of 24-hour surveillance, the captain gradually thought that the boy was a normal child without sociality, and decided to let him go, but Tae-chi, who had fallen into madness, injured Uncle Goat and the guard, smashed the power control switch, and turned the The teenager let it out and played a frame-up drama.
"Chunyi said that she actually hates you. If you help her find the guitar, she may like you." The
innocent boy's eyes were hurt, and he desperately searched for the guitar because he was born with too much strength and destroyed it. houses, hurt people.
Who the hell is the devil? Is it a boy who can turn into a wolf and hurt others, or is it Taeji in human skin? Whenever things turned around, he always stepped in and deliberately killed the young man.
Looking at Chunyi lying on the ground and being beaten, the boy turned into a wolf in front of everyone, bit Taizhi's neck, and then fled into the forest with Chunyi in his arms.
Chunyi bandaged his leg that was shot and murmured: "Zhexiu, are you really a monster? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you are a monster..."
I really don't care, but I can't watch you being killed by others shoot.
In the cedar forest in the early morning, the call of relatives came, and on the small road, the two said goodbye in tears.
Before the move, Chunyi left a note in the boy's small room. When she left, she was sad and sad every step of the way, making her cry.
"Wait, I'll come back again."
But, this time, it's 47 years.
47 years later, Chunyi, who was over 60 years old, sat in front of the mirror and looked at her wrinkled face and muttered: "How did you become such a monster?"
47 years later, she returned to this place and looked at the familiar villa, all the past It came to my mind and asked to stay in the villa for one night.
47 years later, she stood in front of the room where Zhexiu was closed before, touching her old face and daring to open the door.
47 years later, she still pushed open the door, the boy, still young, looked at her with joy, and handed her the old note: "Wait, I will come back."
47 years later, He repaired the broken guitar and showed it to her.
After 47 years, he has been able to write a good hand and draw pictures of beautiful scenery.
47 years later, she stood in front of him and cried with tears. Time seemed to go back to the past. She was still the 19-year-old girl, hugging him and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm already married and have children, and I made you wait so long. ." He said, "You are still the same, with the same hands, the same face, and the same beauty."
47 years later, he took the storybook she gave him and read it to her.
It is said that wolves have only one mate in their life.
He remembered every word she said and everything she did. He waited so lonely and joyful for 47 years. Maybe, if she didn't come, he would wait.

Some people say that the plot of this movie is completely copied from "Edward Scissorhands".
Undeniable.
It's just that Tim Burton is better at contrast and irony. "Edward Scissorhands" makes people more contemplative than sadness and regret, so that sadness is relatively weakened a lot. And "Wolf Boy" is in accordance with the tradition of Korean pure love films, infinitely magnifying the feelings and touching people with love. I don't want to compare the depth of the film, and I think it's pointless, Korea is rich in pure love that makes you cry, and Tim Burton's realm is not something that anyone can achieve.
Although I knew earlier that this was a film with deceitful tears, with the usual routines and plots of Korean pure love films, I still willingly contributed my tears.
Every scene with a warm glow, every knowing smile, every loving touch, every repressed and eager trembling, every eye contact, makes people unconsciously addicted.
Why be so rational? How many times will we have such experiences in our life, so that we cry heartily for this pure love movie late at night? So knowing that it is deceiving tears but still willingly stupid and childish?
So while you're still young, while your nerves are still slender, and your mind is still pure, it's not too bad to be so moved to cry.

At the end of the film, the CAST table begins to appear on the screen. In the shot, the lonely teenager builds a snowman on the hillside where they used to play, rolling over and over again, in the white field, under the high sky, he His figure is so small, revealing a touch of loneliness and loneliness, I have been staring at his busy figure until the end of the film, let the tears flow quietly on my face.
Back then, the two of them hooked up at the small house and went to build a snowman on the hillside together when it snowed heavily in winter. Every winter in the past 47 years, maybe he will build a snowman on the hillside, fulfilling the original promise.
Years make people grow old, turning the young girl's blue silk into white hair.
Years are also helpless, after years he is still the same as before.
Love is patient, love is waiting.
The years are galloping and rushing forward, he stood on the bank of the river, quietly watching the river flow forward, while staying in place, lonely waiting for his love.
