47 years ago, the girl left a note for the boy: "Wait a minute, I'll be back." "After 47 years, they met again, and the boy was still the same as he was then, handing the note to the old girl, who had been waiting for her.
47 years of waiting, 47 years of perseverance. Keep a thin promise and wait for someone all your life. This is the touching story in the Korean movie "Wolf Boy".
"Wolf Boy", also known as "Wolf Boy", was released in South Korea in 2012, and after its release, it set a new box office record for Korean romance films and has maintained it to this day. This absurd and wonderful love evokes the audience's past memories of their first love.
The film mainly tells the poignant love story of a wolf boy with a body temperature of 46 degrees, unknown blood type, and extreme danger, who later meets a lonely and sick girl who is lonely and sick inside, and meets a poignant love story that is forced to separate.
Although the film adds fantasy elements, it still has the characteristics of Korean pure love movies, presenting a pure love story for the audience.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, korean pure love movie "Platonic Love"</h1>
Platonic love was first proposed by Marsilio Ficino in the 15th century and is synonymous with Socratic love. Platonic love is named after the Western philosopher Plato, focusing on the pursuit of spiritual love and spiritual communication, and is the purest love.
In "Wolf Boy", the love between the male and female protagonists has no carnal pleasure, nor does it add material ingredients, and when everyone treats Zhexiu as a monster, the girl teaches Zhexiu to brush her teeth, fold the quilt, and tie her shoelaces. They played together, ate together, accompanied each other, and two lonely hearts were close to each other.
The girl can't go to school, fight, run like her peers because she is sick, she rarely has a smile on her face, and she writes all her thoughts in a diary. After Zhexiu appeared, she had a long-lost smile on her face.
For the girl's command, Zhexiu will be docile and obedient, when he sees Ji-tae who harasses the girl, Zhexiu will also come out to stop it, and when the girl encounters danger, Zhexiu will stand up for the first time to protect her.
They ran and played and frolicked together on the grass. In the process, Zhexiu slowly falls in love with the girl, and two people who were originally in different worlds but are equally lonely gradually become dependent on each other.
Although "Wolf Boy" is cloaked in suspense and fantasy elements, its core is still a platonic pure love. The most eye-catching thing about the film is those beautiful first love moments, the heroine sits on the sofa and plays the guitar, and the sun shines through the glass window, and the whole picture is beautiful. Zhexiu reached out and touched her head, full of pampering and romance from her first love. There are also scenes of them writing together, pictures of running and fighting, and bits and pieces of being together are beautiful and romantic.
The audience will unconsciously recall the first love time. The tone of the first half of the film is beautiful and romantic, and the second half is the waiting and regret after parting. The note at the end, the 47-year-long wait earned enough tears from the audience.
The director did not deliberately sensationalize in the expression of emotion, and all the emotional ups and downs were natural, allowing the audience to obtain great emotional satisfaction.
Director Zhao Shengxi said: "The love of the wolf boy is a fantasy. The film gives the audience a poignant story of the 'beautiful love' that no longer exists in the world, and I hope that through the true sympathy and love of the two people in the film, it will be transmitted to the audience that the brilliance of humanity in real life has long been lost. ”
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two, a thin promise, a lifetime of waiting</h1>
The plot of "Wolf Boy" is not new, and the love between "Wolf Boy" and humans is not tolerated in the world, which is also doomed to the tragedy of the story.
47 years later, when the heroine returned to the once familiar room again, she remembered that Zhe xiu had hidden something in the sofa before, and looked for it, it turned out that Zhe Xiu was not willing to eat the milk candy that she wanted to leave for herself.
All the memories came to her, when she opened the door of the warehouse and saw Jeol-so sitting on the bed looking at her, looking at her as spoiled as she had been 47 years ago. Zhexiu took out the note and handed it to her, and then took out the guitar that had been smashed before, which had been repaired. The female mainstream asked with tears in her eyes: "Have you been waiting for me?" Zhe Xiu nodded, and then lowered her head to let the heroine touch him as before.
The female mainstream said with tears in her eyes: "Zhe Xiu, I'm sorry." Why are you waiting? I'm sorry for you. What have I done all these years, I know that I have been blessed, and I have married other men, I have had children, I am sorry for you, I have become an old lady, my hair, also gray. ”
For Zhexiu, the heroine is still as beautiful as she was then. The heroine's thin promise, Zhe Xiu's long 47 years of waiting. Tetsuhsu's persistence and waiting for love is touching, and this power spans the length of time, day after day, year after year.
The ending is the climax of the whole film, I believe that few people are not abused and crying, and the tear-jerking means of Korean pure love movies are vividly displayed in this movie.
In this fast-paced era, true love seems to have become a luxury, divorce, cheating are endless, and many people can't help but have doubts about love. This film stages a pure love for us, and gives us a purification of the heart.
"Wolf Boy" and "Edward Scissorhands" have the same emotional expression. In Edward Scissorhands, Edward has to return to his castle, and the beloved girl is getting older, but still excited on the snowy days every year, and although the two can't see each other, they miss each other.
In "Wolf Boy", when the heroine leaves, in order to let Zhexiu stay there, instead of selling the house. ZheXiu watched the heroine's car walk away. On the mountain, Zhexiu piled up a snowman, which was the heroine's agreement with him that year, and he remembered every word she said.
Someone said, "I'm not afraid to wait, because the longer I wait, the happier I will be." ”
I think Zhexiu is satisfied, 47 years of waiting in exchange for a reunion with the heroine, when they hug each other, Zhexiu is happy and content.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, two elements that are indispensable in Korean pure love movies: "tragedy" and "obstruction"</h1>
In pure love movies, the two elements of "tragedy" and "obstruction" cannot be escaped, "tragedy" is doomed to the impossible of the male and female protagonists together, and "obstruction" becomes the direct reason why the male and female protagonists cannot be together.
Pure love movies create an idealized emotional "utopia", under the beautiful scenery lens, in the soothing lyrical music, in a dream world that does not involve sexual desire, materialism, and class, the pure love of the hero and heroine, death has become an obstacle between two people.
"Wolf Boy" is one of the few masterpieces in Korean pure love movies, when two lonely hearts approach, they become each other's only, mutual companionship, Wolf Boy's persistence and waiting for love is touching.
The love between the "wolf boy" and the people dooms them to the tragedy of their love story, because in the eyes of the world, this kind of love is not accepted by the world. Even if Zhexiu is very kind and has no harmful heart, it is impossible for human beings to accept his existence, let alone accept his love with people.
When people kill Jeol-soo, the heroine has to leave Je-soo for his safety, which hinders both the protection of Je-soo and the reason for their separation.
The fairytale love in "Wolf Boy" makes people feel moved, and although there are regrets, they still warm the audience's hearts to the point of heat.
As some netizens sighed: the most beautiful love words I have heard are actually from a werewolf.
How long have we not expressed our love to our beloved, and how often we have become more numb and dismissive of love.
The love expressed in "Wolf Boy" is the ideal love of many people, the proximity of two hearts, and the insistence on love loyalty.
The phrase "I'm waiting for you" is more touching than "I love you."
