the latest tear-jerker from the land of kimchi surely doesn't disappoint. i'm glad, at least it means i didn't throw $6.50 down the drain.
a bit of digression first - it is necessary in order for you to understand how i ended up watching the korean movie -
orchard road on a thursday morning (i had a day off from work) is so pleasantly deserted, except for large groups of pregnant wives. it's weird, i don't think i'd be one to plan to get pregnant at the same time as my girlfriends, if we were all married of course.
so wives let themselves shoulder peer pressure too?
"darling, mary/jane/karen is pregnant! about two months! she only just discovered it yesterday because she noticed she was about two weeks late and then she thought 'maybe... but could it be?' and now look what happened! i'm so happy for her!
"do you think we should try for one too? i know your mother would be so absolutely delighted!"
it's funny, then they'd all band together like a pro-mothers group, all their radiant visages! can you really be elated when you're retaining water and putting on the kilos simultaneously? gosh!
but, preggers' society aside,
i stumbled upon cineleisure's box office and decided, on a whim, to catch A Moment to Remember.
so, my take:
the plot isn't anything we've not seen before, and anyway the koreans practically endorse that genre so, no points for orginality. the koreans are, however, aces at making their audiences cry buckets, and i mean buckets, and A Moment... is such a good example.
will not go into details as movie is already ending its run, it's worth watching if you're a Son Ye Jin fan (yes i am).
