Classic: let love forever

It has been raining in London for days. Lovers are held at home to kill time. If you feel blue in your love life, then watch the romantic Korean movie Classic. There can hardly be a better way to refresh your first love and treasure your partner more.

It is a movie about childhood, about dream, about us, about a deepest love across the time and space, about the simplest feeling of your first love.

The director and writer Jae-Young Kwak created a cliché love story about two similar lifes of Shy Ji-hae and her mother’s. They both have to face the situation that either she and her best friends fell in love with the same boy or being loved by two boys. The mysterious similarity just stimulates my curiosity and makes me wonder how the director will finish the story.

If the story only offers this old plot that has been shown in thousands of movies already, there is no way I will watch for another two hours.

But I cannot help appreciate the fantastic pictures that were taken by the brilliant Korean director. The sun sets down to the end of the mountains, which colours the whole movie with a romantic feeling. Then all the past stories are told by her camera smoothly along with a strong personal emotion inside.

The poetic lines as ” when the moonlight falls on the river, I am thinking of you; when the wind passes the river, I am thinking of you” become an echo that goes through from the beginning to the end. Its main piano song named Classic as well touches my heart softly and melt into my life.


My tears quietly dropped when all the mysterious things were unveiled: the younger generation's love has been doomed. This touching movie Classic is worth you and your lover watching together–even if you are single, as long as you treasure your coming love, do not miss it.

Wolfman : the last movie you should watch...

The Wolfman disappointed me. I felt cheated by the fabulous trailer and the overwhelming commercial promotions.

The Wolfman’s director is Joe Johnston, who has never made any good movies so far. He was not supposed to be the original director. Without well preparation, what he gave us is just familiar pictures which had been used in many horror movies.

Although there are four first-class actors and actresses, Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, Geraldine Chaplin, they can not save the obviously-copied movie from being teased by film lovers.

What’s worse, the silly plot can be guessed from the very beginning. The writers assumed the audience all have a low IQ. The girl used love to call back the reason of the wolfman could have been the peak of the story; however, the writer failed to tell the story how they loved each other.


The most horrible part of the Wolfman is that this terrible movie created a wonderful trailer to lose me £7.

Well, you could say the last chance for their investment to come back is to do a huge promotion and a fairly brilliant trailer.

When I see the facial looks of other audience, I understand I am not the only person who regrets the decision to waste time here.
