![]() However, I think it ties in very well with the main theme of treasuring our memories. It is ironic that in a movie where the tragedy involves the female lead losing her memory, it is suggested that being able to forget is a gift. The second is when she then persuades and helps Chul-Soo to forgive his mother who abandoned him when he was just a child and who initially hates him to the core. The first is when Su-JinÂs father forgives her for her attempted elopement with a married man, bearing in mind that such an action is considered to be very shameful in Asian culture. Through the course of the movie, there are two major acts of forgiveness. The ending is bittersweet one but at least offers a glimpse of hope.Īnother important them touched upon in the movie is that of forgiveness. Even more painful is seeing Chul-Soo agonise while watching the wife he loves dearly forget even who he is. ![]() ![]() Su-Jin soon finds that she has contracted AlzheimerÂs disease and the rest of the movie depicts how she slowly and painfully loses bits of her memory until she totally cannot remember anything. From here though, things quickly go downhill. There are many sweet events that take place in the event of their courtship which eventually lead to their marriage. Su-Jin instantly takes a liking to Chul-Soo and in what is a refreshing change, actively courts Chul-Soo. Chul-Soo may appear like a rough and dirty construction worker initially, but he does exude sheer masculinity in its most basic physical form and is pretty handy when it comes to carpentry or house repairs. He is Choi Chul-Soo, the construction siteÂs foreman who is also aiming to become an architect. One day while accompanying her father, who is the head of a construction site, in making his rounds, she coincidentally meets the man whom she earlier bumped into at the convenience store. Following that, she returns home and receiving the forgiveness of her father, decides to start life afresh. Depressed, she goes to a convenience store where she bumps into a tall handsome man with whom she has a slight misunderstanding. The movie begins with Kim Su-Jin, a 27 year old fashion designer, being spurned at the train station by her lover, a colleague who is also a married man. The director does not try to be over-dramatic, which usually results in a dragged-out and boring plot, and the leads put in really brilliant performances that identifies with the audience. Yet what really distinguishes this movie from others of its genre that were released in 2004 is how the story really flows and engages the audience. Such plots are common-fare for plenty of Korean melodramas. It involves a couple falling in love and then being painfully wrenched apart through a tragedy, in this case with the female lead contracting AlzheimerÂs disease. The concept behind the movie is simple enough. Ultimately, our memories are the only things that we can really claim to own and the movie teaches us a very important lesson in treasuring our memories. Sometimes in working to achieve some of our goals in life, we lose track of who we are and what is really important to us. While all the above are tangibles that many of us seek after in life and no doubt increase our appreciation of life, it is our experiences that really shape who we are. Â√ Moment to Remember suggests that the answer is far simpler but no less profound. What is most important to oneÂs existence? Some might say that it is power and wealth, others love and friendship.
