A scene from my ever favorite movie~ Spring Day Goes.
&Here's my review for it from last year, taken from my other blog.
Love is like a flame. First it starts as a spark, then it will flame up and heat up. But after the fire dies out, all that is left is ashes, ashes that's better to bury and thro w than to let you be reminded of the love which you once been passionate about. Nothing lasts forever, sad but true. Lovers comes and goes, even if two married couples lasts until theyre old and gray, eventually either one will die first. There's really no such thing as happy ending.
That is the message Director Hur Jin-Ho wants the audience of his movie, One Fine Spring Day to give that is loosely based on reality. The story is about Eun-Su (Lee Young Ae), a radio producer who works for her own radio program, was just recovering after a failed marriage and is living alone. Sang-woo (Yoo Ji-Dae) on the other hand was a sound engineer who works for tv, dubbing cartoons. He and Eun Su has to work together for Eun Su's recent theme for her radio program which is nature. They met and embarked on the project together and thier first recording was in a bamboo grove, recording the sounds of the swishing of the bamboo tree's on a windy, spring day. They shared a silent moment together, appreciating the nature and the beautiful sound it's giving, and little did they know, sound will be the one who will draw them together. It was obvious after thier first meeting that they were attracted to each other. It was clearly portrayed when Eun Su called Sang Woo the night after and they talked a little. After hanging up, Sang Woo was smiling to himself and was even gushing like a high school boy in love. One time, Eun Su invited Sang Woo to eat at her house, she even asked him to stay for the night, and morning came, he went by her side, and the rest as they say is history..
The movie was slow-paced and lacked dialogues, but then Director Hur Jin-Ho used sounds and nature to his movie to accentuate more of the story. Scenes included Eun Su and Sang Woo recording the water from a running stream, the waves from a rising and falling sea side, and the sounds of the snow falling on a cold night. The Director also focused on how the love will end and how it ended when most of romantic films focus on how the love grows and develops. At first, Eun Su and Sang Woo's relationship looked promising, they looked like lovers who will end up together but personality indifferences slowly tore them apart. Thier break up doesnt even have a clear meaning, like you'd ask yourself why did they break up? No arguments and accusations, just two people letting go and breaking up. Well, in reality breaking up sometimes doesnt have to have explanations and reasons, sometimes two people who love each other just realized the feelings have died out. Director Hur Jin-Ho was really great depicting thier love and how thier love ended. Sometimes, words wasnt needed to be spoken, because a single touch, stare, and look means a thousand words. Also, the sound effects, the scenery, and the characters will make you remember of one of your love lost and relive it once again. Lastly, this movie will also make you realize that guys are humans too, devoid of emotions, especially heartbreak, pain and sadness. One Fine Spring Day is a real tearjerker but captures you and will leave you wondering and asking, "What might have been if...".
