IL Mare
Recently, I spent also $44 bucks on a poster. Well sort of...because that also include 1 OST soundtrack as well as 2 VCDs.
Thinking back, it was kinda of ironic because I bought the OST to get the poster, only to know after payment that the shop has ran out of the poster. With eyes wide stunned, the lady could only suggest I exchange the OST for another products. Search I did, and finally came out with 2 VCDs, mainly "Il Mare" and "Windstruck". I have watched both the show long way back but my failing memory failed to keep up.
So this post is actually a review of "Il Mare" I watched yesterday. Sometimes it's strange to know this is the second time viewing the movie, the plot is roughly recognised yet the feeling it gives after watching the show is so entirely different from the first time.
The movie is beautiful because it starred Jeon Ji Hyun. Haha. Well beside that, the plot is also good. The director managed to pull off a great movie because it involved in 2 person living in totally different timeframe. The past (1997)and the present (2000). So while you might have expected some overlapses or errors in those movie of same gender that might have defied common logic, thankfully in this movie everything managed to fuse seamlessly together that you are forgiven if you thought they are living in the same period of time (2000).
And the cuplrit that enables both the characters to communicate with each other and in turn developed feelings is actually the Mailbox that is just located outside Il Mare.
Btw, Il Mare is the name of a very nice looking house facing the sea which I wish I can stay when I am old, near balding and die peacefully.
There are 2 endings for the viewer to choose from. One is a tradegy which the male lead died in the end because of a car incident. The other is joy when he received the warning in advance, managed to avoid the accident and in turn appeared in front of bewildered the female lead in (2000) wondering who is he,where he is standing in front of her yet felt so strangly familiar.
The above is only my amatuerish attempt to review the movie. For a more professional and comprehensive review, see this link: http://www.gotterdammerung.org/film/reviews/i/il-mare.html
Warning: this show is not suitable for ladies whose emotions tend to swing easily and end up crying at the end of the show.
So if you wish to view what I find to be an enjoyable movie, you can rent from me the orginal VCD at $1 per day.Haha
