“When the memory is gone so is the soul.”
How do you measure a man's love? Is it the number of
times he said I love you or the way he treats you out to fancy restaurants? No.
Love is all about commitment, patience and sacrifice. And this is what this
movie is all about. A story that would teach us how genuine and pure ones love
and affection could be. It’s all about loving someone unconditionally despite
all the adversaries that would come along the way. It’s all about unselfish
love.
Son Ye-Jin (Sul-Jin) and Jung Woo-Sung (Chul-Soo)
Meet the Princess and the Beggar. That’s how Chul-soo
described his relationship with Sul-jin. Despite their differences they were
able to prove that love would work for them and it did. A Moment to Remember would give you a rollercoaster of emotions. You’ll start with anticipation as Sul-jin worked her way to getting
Chul-soo’s attention and she was successful indeed. And that one sip of sojo, that changed
their destiny. Then there’s bliss as they would go through their married life.
It’s just filled with love, success and contentment. Then there’s pain as they
face the tragic and cruel reality of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Forgiving is just giving hate a little room in your heart.”
I love the chemistry between the two lead characters Ye-Jin and Woo-Sung. Though the movie was lengthy it was
well paced making sure that each emotion is in its proper place until you get
to the climax. Next thing you’ll know your heart is breaking and your eyes
would be flooded. The script was well written and the director was indeed able
to successfully project the type of emotion that this movie intends to do.
I have seen this movie twice and I cried harder the second
time. It’s refreshing and heartbreaking all at the same. Call me a hopeless romantic but if I find this
kind of love in this lifetime then one lifetime spent with that person is more
than enough.
I would rate this 9.5 of 10 T_T
I just watched the movie; I can't remember the last time I cried because of a movie.
