The film opens with a dim, detailed close-up that slowly depicts an old man waking up in the morning with a story inside. Yes, if you are not a person who has a story in his heart and who takes life seriously, he will not organize his clothes carefully, take care of his skin, or want to change the ring on his hand. However, the years are old, the folds of the skin are uneven, and the rings are stuck on the joints and cannot be taken off. Through the picture, you can hear the heavy sigh, conveying the regret of not returning to the past year and the helplessness of fate.
The tone laid at the beginning foreshadows that the entire movie must be completed with memories, and it is already doomed that the movie will not have a happy ending.
As a young girl, Shunyi was sensitive, melancholic and frail, despairing of life, thinking about death and liberation all day long. Until a little wolf appeared in her life. The domestication of the little wolf changed her attitude towards life. She began to smile, abandoned despair, began to run, and began to sing and play guitar again. And complete. However, movies are always used to break fairy tales, and movies always have a bad guy. Even a movie of pure love must always have regrets to reveal that life is inherently imperfect, especially when the male protagonist is a beast rather than a human being. set up.
It's because Song Joong Ki came to make up for this film. When the little wolf was so dirty that he couldn't look like a human, I watched it three times, with such fearful and vigilant eyes, messy hair and no clean makeup all over his body. , If you didn't know in advance, this is the male protagonist Song Zhongji, how could he be associated with the tall and straight soldier in the Queen Mother and the beautiful playboy in Sungkyunkwan. What is rare is that in his last work before enlisting in the army, Xiao Song basically used his eyes and body language to show a full sense of youth, as well as the werewolf's loyalty and reluctance to his lover. More than once, I was moved by the clarity and purity in Xiao Song's eyes.
I don't know when Shunyi fell in love with Zhexiu, or in her heart, this kind of feeling is not love, but a kind of protection and attachment to domesticated pets. However, it was so obvious that Zhexiu fell in love with Shunyi. When the girl played and sang for him shyly on the sofa against the light, in the heart of the little wolf who had been isolated and lonely for many years, it was like an angel coming. The so-called love is always so beautiful, so heartwarming, so unreasonable, whether it is a human being or an animal. The person who loves deeply is always hurt the most, because he will be willing to obey his lover unconditionally, he will wait endlessly without complaint, and he will be willing to let her go to let her have a better life. The one who loves deeply always seems more humble and helpless. Be willing to work hard and give up for the other party, and would rather bear the endless pain yourself. In Cheol-soo's world, it is simple to distinguish between good and evil based on whether it hurts Shun Yi or not. This is love.
As the male protagonist, Zhexiu has only two short lines in the whole film, both of which mean separation, and both of which made me cry. One is the first sentence he said abruptly in a hurry: card. Don't go, it is often the simplest, most helpless and most touching love words in love. After 47 years of separation and waiting, there is no need to delve into why Xiaolang is fluent in language and why he is not old. When the white-haired Shunyi stood in front of Zhexiu with a guilty heart, Zhexiu said the second sentence of the true meaning Love words on: You are still as beautiful as ever, with eyes and mouth. Women always care about their appearance, but for lovers, when they meet the most beautiful you, the first love is because of you, and the person you love will always be the most beautiful person in the world.
In fact, it is impossible to tell whether the last encounter was a dream of Shunyi. In the dream, Zhexiu, who was always young, had a wound that would not heal on his face, and read fairy tales for her all night. The small notes that have turned yellow, the notebooks that have been written on the table for 47 years, and the pencils that don't need to be sharpened, it is not so much a Luo Ji that can't make sense, it is better to say that it carries Shunyi's full of memories, so when she leaves calmly, she is determined. The suggestion of refusing to sell the house is to put her 47 years of memories, to put the initial sprouting of the little wolf, and to give a home to the little wolf who is still alive in dreams or in reality. Encounter and separation, get together and then separate, after all, it is fate that is hard to defy.
Zhexiu, who stumbled and built a snowman alone in the snowstorm, knew that his beloved would never come back, so he fulfilled the promise of the year by himself.
Jumping out of the plot that made the girl's heart burst out, many people feel that the plot is a little bit bloody and buggy, Song Joong Ki and Park Baoying's acting skills are still remarkable, and the meticulous performances have moved the audience. The lighting and picture are full of dreamy beauty. The supporting characters' subtleties are also in place.
I watched the movie while crying, and I couldn't bear to watch it for the second time. After watching it, I suddenly lost interest in watching other movies. Am I really a girl?
So I am writing this review.
