The plot of the film is introduced
Somewhere in South Korea, there is a unique girls' dormitory, which is the stage for the movie "Dormitory". The film, starring Han Zhizhi and Min Do-yoon, was released in South Korea on May 11, 2017, showing us a wonderful picture of the collision and integration of multiple cultures.
Managed by a friend of Hyung-ho's, the dormitory is like a small world of young girls from different places with different dreams. Overseas Chinese from Los Angeles in the United States have crossed the ocean to come here in pursuit of academic peaks. With the freedom and openness of the United States, and the thirst for knowledge, they strive to move forward in this strange country.
There are also Japanese students who come to study Korean because they are fascinated by Korean idol culture. Their eyes sparkle with their love and yearning for Korean pop culture, and they hold Korean textbooks in their hands and words in their mouths, trying to fit into this charming cultural atmosphere.
In this seemingly ordinary apartment, each room carries a different story. In the corridors of the dormitory, you can often hear the sounds of different languages, and English, Japanese, and Korean are intertwined to form a unique symphony.
Amy, who is from Los Angeles, has a cheerful personality and is always full of energy. Her room was plastered with academic posters and shelves filled with thick books. Every morning, she is always the first to wake up, open the window, let the fresh air pour into the room, and then start the study schedule for the day.
Miko, a Japanese student, is a typical "Hallyu fan". Her room is filled with posters of Korean idols, and her bedside is littered with various Korean learning materials. She always listens to K-pop music while humming along, trying to correct her pronunciation.
The common area of the dormitory is a place for everyone to interact with each other. In the kitchen, the aroma of food from different countries is overflowing. Sometimes it's an American-style burger made by Amy, sometimes it's Miko's elaborate sushi, and Korean specialties are kimchi and bulgogi. Everyone sat together, sharing food, stories and dreams.
In the living room, the girls watch Korean variety shows and dramas together. When you see the wonderful clips, everyone laughs together; When encountering a touching plot, they will cry together. There are no borders, only the connection of hearts.
The nights in the dormitory are often full of warmth and liveliness. Sometimes, small parties are held, dressed in the traditional costumes of their respective countries, showing off their unique cultural charm. Sometimes, they would sit together on the balcony, looking up at the starry sky, and talking about their plans and visions for the future.
Girls help each other in their studies. Amy will share her learning methods and experiences with everyone to help other students improve their learning efficiency. Miko will patiently teach everyone Japanese, so that everyone can feel the delicacy and elegance of Japanese culture.
In life, they also take care of each other. When someone is sick, everyone takes turns to take care of them, sending warm greetings and intimate care. When someone encounters difficulties, everyone will come up with ideas and overcome them together.
However, cultural differences can occasionally bring some minor frictions. For example, in terms of living habits, the casualness of the United States and the rigor of Japan sometimes conflict; There will also be different preferences and controversies when it comes to dietary tastes. But these small contradictions did not affect everyone's feelings, but became an opportunity to promote mutual understanding and tolerance.
During a cultural exchange event in the dormitory, each girl had the opportunity to showcase the characteristics of her country. Amy brought a wonderful hip-hop performance, showing the street culture of the United States; Miko donned a beautiful kimono and performed a traditional Japanese dance; While the Korean girls showcased traditional hanbok and elegant classical dances. This event allowed everyone to have a deeper understanding of each other's culture and enhance their friendship.
Time flies, and in this dormitory full of love and warmth, the girls have spent many unforgettable times together. They grew up in each other's company, broadened their horizons in the blending of diverse cultures, and gained knowledge and friendship.
When the graduation bell rings, the girls are about to embark on a new journey. But this good memory in the dormitory will always remain in their hearts and become a precious treasure in their lives.
The film "Dormitory" is not only a story about accommodation, but also a praise for the exchange and integration of multicultural culture, allowing us to see the beauty created by people from different cultural backgrounds in mutual understanding and respect.
