No. 43 - Till We Meet Again Movie Review
Saturday, March 16, 2024The other day I came across this song, and immediately remembered I should go and watch this show. I saw some reviews saying it's pretty good, many people cried etc. But I certainly did not expect I would be so emotional over the movie. When I first heard the song and watched the trailer, the movie intrigued me. It was certainly something unique, and as a person who was super in love with the afterlife and god myths, traditional culture, superstitions and stuff, the gist of the movie was super exciting for me. What I thought would just be a simple Taiwan Romantic Comedy movie like any other, chase a girl many years, date, something happen, happy ending, the end, that movie that would give you butterflies like your first crush in high school kind of feeling. Boy, I was so wrong. I cried like a freaking baby throughout the movie. Not at one scene but at least 5 scenes. I am not even a person who would often cry but I felt so so so much with this movie. Up till today (which has been 3 weeks or so since the movie) I still feel like crying when I hear the song.
In summary, the movie gave me so much feeling because of the lessons it bought. First and foremost of course is appreciating the people around you, especially when you do not know what comes tomorrow. The main actor chased the girl for years, more than a decade and just to be together, end up dying. it also taught us that some things are fated and there's nothing you could do to control it. Who could control him and prevent him from getting the lightning struck? Plus, the main lead actress due to the lighting struck lost one of her legs. It shows that anything can happen in life within just a split second. You will not know what will happen the next second as much as we have planned for the future.
Not only that, the second girl lead 'Pink hair girl' was just living her life and yet she was unlucky, fell in love with an asshole who would murder her for money. She was so young... and it also showed us that the world can be so cruel, so evil, and you will never know who to fully trust. In real life, don't even say boyfriend, recent cases with parents killing their own child also happened.
The movie also brought in the true Karma effect in life. This is something that I have been instilled in me since young. I believe many Asian households have similar beliefs. We tend to believe that in life there's karma. The more good deeds you do, the more good in life you receive whether in the world or in after life. In the movie, this was brought out many many times. Even till the end, it showed that sometimes, we do only a little tiny gesture, and it could mean a lot to one tiny creature in this world.
