"I once crossed the desert in tears and despair. I am now about to cross it with love."
*a sad, sweet and simple story*QUOTES:
"I will always be with you."
"Love is said to be, always something that we don't know its depth, until the time for farewell comes."
"I wanted to make our love, the best love in the world."
"It's not farewell, until we have each other in our hearts."
"everybody has a desert of their own to cross. I met a small oasis, on my way to cross the desert. abundant blue water. across the oasis which is full of abundance. I know the way to cross that desert now.
I once crossed the desert in tears and despair. I am now about to cross it with love."
like I wrote in the headline, it is a simple story about a married couple's happy life being disrupted when the husband finds out he has a brain tumor and then how he slowly passes away. before He died he wrote letters to comfort his wife. He encouraged her to keep on living and pursuing her dreams.
it is a bittersweet movie, but it's worth watching, plus there is the 90s charm of it, reminding us of simpler times. the couple live a quiet life in the countryside, which I admired.
I'd recommend watching it for yourself, on a rainy day.
oh and it does have a hopeful ending :)
as for music, the song "stand by me" played at parts and it fit well. and there is a nice violin and piano soundtrack.
(and the make-up department did a good job making park shin yang look sickly)
in a nutshell, what I really like is how she decided to live instead of giving up after he passed away. She loves him and always will, but he would have wanted her to be happy.
