THAT PERSON YOU'LL DIE FOR...
I have a very hard time reviewing movies because I'm a "series " girlie.
I like to explore a story, see characters development over time, so movies are a bit ostic to judge.
plot:
a boy and a girl , who met as kid, see each other again once adult. they fall in love but destiny is not always in our hands..or is it?
the plot is very simple and not that deep which means there isn't that much to talk about.
why do these candles work they they do? I don't know.
does it have something to do with his mother? we don't know.
that's what is good and bad about movies... you have to take everything at face value because there is no time to explore anything.
we speed run through their love story which is basically done in 2 minutes. I didn't feel a particular connection to them but overall we can still feel the love they have for each other.
there is no time to get attached to them as people so I just focused on something universal: the pain of losing your loved one.
you enjoy the movie not because of what is happening TO THEM but because of WHAT is happening to them.
you still feel the fear, the urgency , the worry and the pain even though, unlike other reviewers , I didn't end up crying.
I didn't quite like that the FL tried to contact the ml after her wish because that would basically break the pact you made with destiny.
I think it would have added more pathos If she just stopped looking for him.
the ending is happy because it seems that fate is letting them finally rekindle.
the acting was good overall, the tone of the movie felt right.
definitely an easy watch but don't expect nothing devastating.
