The Purdue Univeristy Calumet Chronicle Review of A Moment to Remembe movie

"Moment to Remember" hard to forget

Joelle Halon

Issue date: 3/8/10 Section: Entertainment

Every once in awhile, a movie comes along that haunts your memory and offers much to discuss. There are times, too, when a movie comes along and packs such an emotional punch it keeps you engaged and in tears from beginning to end.

John H. Lee's "A Moment to Remember," a 2004 South Korean film, is that type of movie: Powerful and emotionally haunting.

Based off the Japanese drama "Pure Soul," "A Moment to Remember" covers love and loss when female protagonist Su-jin, played brilliantly by Ye-jin Son, slowly succumbs to Alzheimer's disease while in her early thirties. Her husband, Cheol-su, played by Woo-sung Jung, stands by lovingly as he tries to hang on to her.

"A Moment to Remember" unfolds much like a romantic novel, with each chapter exploring a different aspect of Cheol-su and Su-jin's relationship.

The first quarter has a romantic comedy-drama feel as it chronicles Cheol-su and Su-jin's meeting and courtship. During this portion of the film, the discovery is made that Su-jin had to return home to her parents because of an affair. While wandering at night, she meets Cheol-su, an architect, at a convenience store over a case of mistaken soda identities.

Parts two through four take on a more serious tone as the couple's marriage, Su-jin's discovery and hiding of her Alzheimer's prognosis and Cheol-su's discovery of Su'jin's secret, takes center stage.

Although slow at times, the last three-fourths of the film really tugs at the heartstrings. Son's acting was superb as she expertly played Su-jin in the prime of her life until she was debilitated by the disease. Son's facial expressions and subtle actions really made the character believable, so much so that it was painful to watch such a bright soul slip away.

Son dominated this film for her presence and her skill clearly stood out.

Jung was also outstanding in his role as Cheol-su, who experiences substantial growth throughout the film. Cheol-su grew from a man with extreme emotional and anger issues to a caring soul. Jung made Cheol-su's growth believable and his grief over his wife was truly genuine.

continued....

Despite all the raving comments made about the acting and beauty of the film itself, some portions of the movie could have been left out, especially since they were not enhancive.

For instance, when Su-jin's ex-lover returns to reclaim her, the whole feel of the movie changed temporarily as Cheol-su's explosive anger returned, and Su-jin thought her ex was her husband.

Cheol-su's outbursts detracted from the character's growth. Su-jin's ex-lover was slimy and backhanded, leaving a questionable mark on Su-jin's judgment and character in the past, marring the near-perfection of the entire tale.

The last fifty minutes of "A Moment to Remember" requires an entire box of tissues (or maybe three) in order to get through to the end. Here, Son and Jung's acting skills really shine and you get to know the emotions and feelings of both characters. The ending is truly, thusly making the dam of tears burst, possibly making you cry for a good hour after the movie ends.

"A Moment to Remember" really gives you a sense of mortality and how much we take for granted in life. No matter how young or old you are, everything can slip away in an instant.

With all things considered, it is clear why "A Moment to Remember" won South Korea's 2005 Grand Bell Award for Best Screenplay. Tremendous acting, fantastic characters and a magnificent story carry "A Moment to Remember" from beginning to end; it does not deserve to be missed.

nice review, it is indeed hard to forget.
