How can a love story be told in a new way?
Stories have a fixed pattern. The hero is awakened, adventures, struggles, overcomes himself, and returns home. This is a type of Western classical such as "Odyssey", modern such as "The Lord of the Rings", "The Matrix", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Chinese classical "Journey to the West", modern Jin Yong's "The Condor Trilogy", This is the hero movie genre.
Types of romantic films, one is a family feud, such as "Romeo and Juliet", one is ethics, such as "Isolde and Tristan", one is life and death, such as "The Four Hundred Years of Blood Sucking", One is jealousy and slander, such as "Othello", the other is family meddling, such as "Peacock Flying Southeast"...
In this day and age, none of these ancient elements are new enough, and the storytellers have racked their brains for how the inherent theme of "love is not enough" strikes people's hearts again. One is that things are always separated as if they are in business. Because of the war, two people who love each other cannot stay together. This cannot be formed without fighting in most areas, but there are still three or eight lines in the neighbors, so " "Crash Landing on Love" airborne successfully.
One is because of time, meeting the right person at the wrong time, such as "Unreachable Lover" and "Falling in Love with You through Time and Space", the God of Time took a nap, and at that moment of one ten thousandth, a The couple accidentally looked at each other, and their hearts were pounding, and a love elegy was sung.
Time is crueler than war, time can conquer everything, no one can conquer time. Time can only go forward, love is full of memories, time passes away before the eyes, love can stay in the heart, time and love naturally complement each other. Once the sun and the moon are reversed, love is out of the control of time and naturally grows wildly. Time-travel makes time control in the hands of the author. Therefore, the element of time-travel has become the promoter of love stories in the past two decades.
In the past 20 years, Korean dramas and movies have sprung up, leaving Japanese dramas and Hong Kong dramas that dominated the screen since the 1990s far behind, and Chinese dramas are even more distant. But in the early days, the main elements of Korean drama love stories were group ridicule: car crashes, amnesia, terminal illness. "Blue Life and Death", "Winter Sonata", and Sister Zhiyou's "Stairway to Heaven" repeatedly mentioned in "Crash Landing on Love" are the culmination of these elements. These elements are so densely stacked on one character, Almost disgusting. After playing with all these elements, the screenwriter could not write anything, and began to let aliens and different species join the love syndrome. "You Who Came From the Star" and "The Legend of the Blue Sea" are simply awkward to talk about, and they are already terrifying. In the category of films, I thought at this time, is it so difficult to be in a relationship honestly?
It's hard, really hard. Without another dimension, a romantic drama becomes a family ethics movie if you are not careful. National dramas are typical of this type. There are basically no romance movies without parents. In addition to the workplace plot, the leader is the American drama "Grey's Anatomy". It wears the skin of a medical drama, and inside it is constantly changing bed partners. The screenwriter is not tired and the actors are tired. All quit the show.
Writing a story is hard, but it's not without short kitsch. "Now to See You" is a movie that tells the story well. The elements are old elements, such as car crashes, amnesia, terminal illness, and travel. There are many of them, but they are arranged ingeniously, so they are not embarrassing at all. The plot is smooth, the elements are used naturally, and it is almost invisible like an antelope hangs its horns.
The Korean version of "Going to See You Now" is a remake of the 2004 Japanese movie "I Love You Through Raindrops", and the original is the novel "Meeting in the Rainy Season" by Takuji Ichikawa. The heroine is Yuko Takeuchi, and the male lead is her ex-husband Shido Nakamura. Yuko Takeuchi's appearance can be said to be delicate, but Shidou Nakamura's appearance is really indescribable, making it difficult to immerse people. I still prefer the Korean version of "Nowadays". to see you".
The heroine of "Now to See You" is Son Ye-jin and the actor is So Ji-sub. So Ji-sub has a bitter face, and the tall, sickly and frail athletes in the play are tailor-made.
Son Ye-jin's immortal face is the spokesperson of love movies. This lovely woman with crescent-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, pearl-like teeth, and a blooming smile like flowers makes the best Korean actors all around her. Supporting Actors: Cho Seung Woo, Jo In Sung (If Love Has Providence), Jung Woo Sung (Eraser in My Mind), So Ji Sub (Going to See You Now), Hyun Bin (Crash Landing on Love).
Among the actors in these films, the posters can be ranked ahead of her, only Zheng Yusheng, but this is an advantage brought by age and qualifications. Son Ye-jin was 22 when she acted in "Eraser in My Brain", and Jung Woo-sung was 31. In "If Love Had Providence", Son Ye-jin was 21 years old, Cao Seung-woo was 23 years old, and Zhao In-sung was 22 years old. In front of the fairy-like Son Ye-jin at that time, the two later top actors were really hairy boys. As for Hyun Bin, who is the same age, even in "Secret Garden", which made him a big hit in 2010, his temperament and momentum are not comparable to Son Yejin. Son Ye-jin only made a cameo appearance for two minutes in it, but in those two minutes, he was more eye-catching than everyone in the play. By the time of "Negotiation" in 2018, Hyun Bin will be getting older, and his appearance and body shape will be reborn. This makes the audience exclaim and match his face, and there is a combination of "Crash Landing on Love".
From the romantic opening of "If Love Had Providence" in 2003 to the tears of "Eraser in My Brain" in 2004, fourteen years later, "Now to See You" in 2018 is gentle and long, a love trilogy Draw a full stop, the perfect curtain call.
At the end of the film "See You Now", the words Xiu Ya wrote in her diary were perfectly reproduced in "Crash Landing on Love". Park Ji-eun wrote the script well, and in this part of the transplant, there is no trace of antelope hanging on its horns. Shi Li suffered from sepsis after the operation. When she was in critical condition, she saw in a dream what was going to happen in the past.
