Well, just another regular day of work, nothing new. Have received a email from friend couple of days ago recommending this Korean movie "The Classic" directed by the same director who directed "My Sassy Girl", which remained my favorite love movie until now. Trusting my guts, I've decided to go for it since it's cheaper to watch on weekday. I've seen Linda online, chatted with her for a while and since I'm thinking of watching the movie, thought it might be a good chance to meet up for a movie. I might be worried that she may have the wrong idea since I'll be watching a love movie but that was not my agenda at all. Anyway, she backed out as she felt that it will not be a good movie. Since she had backed out, I chose to watch the movie today, alone. Yeah, kinda weird to watch such movie alone, especially when I'm gonna be surrounded by couples. Frankly I don't really get bothered by it anymore. I must say this movie really touched me. It has its comedic parts which I find them very very funny, but it's the romance part that really invokes my deepest feelings. Haven't had that feeling since I last watched "Shrek". Especially when the lead actor had to force himself to leave the actress in order to prevent his good friend from commiting suicide again and when I saw the scenes where they loved each other but can't stay together due to many circumstances make me remember some of my heart pains when I've fallen for Liqin. The memories are very blurred but the feelings are very sure. I had to fight back my tears to prevent embarressment but it really hurts. The combination of the scenes with the theme music really blends well and whenever I try to put myself in the shoes of the lead actor, I can feel his pain and agony. Especially the last part, where he willing to give up the love for her happiness. I felt like my heart weighs a thousand pounds. Although the ending is a happy one, the sad ending of the older generation relationship really invokes a feeling that I find it very hard to detach even after the movie ends. As I'm typing this, I'm listening to the theme song and I can feel the tears in my eyes, where the feeling of wat I've experienced years comes back. My rational side had told me give her up as we're definitely not possible to be together since her attitute towards me is very cold. However, deep inside, no matter how hard I want to try, I just can't forget about her. No matter wat, I'll recommend this movie to my friends even if it's only good in my own view.
