In April 2021, south Korea's small-budget production of niche film "Tomorrow's Memory" was released, which was originally a thriller suspense movie, a group of starring: Seo Rui-chi, Kim Kang-woo, Park Sang-wook, Lian Hye-ran, Bae Yoo-ran, etc., the fame is not very big, but the Korean audience rating is as high as 9.0 points, which shows that the plot and production are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The overlap of the faces of the male and female protagonists deviates from the twists and turns of the metaphorical story
The story of "Tomorrow's Memory" tells that the heroine Xiuzhen (played by Xu Ruizhi) lost her memory due to an accidental injury, and her husband (played by Kim Kang-woo) was discharged from the hospital under the careful care, but Xiuzhen found that she had the ability to "see the future", and, with the continuous use of this ability, Xiuzhen seemed to find the picture of her husband killing people, and also felt that her husband hid many things from him...
Is it a fragment of memory, or is it a metaphor for the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife?
Reluctantly, her husband also took her to the hospital for examination again, and then the plot flipped many times, is it Xiuzhen's traumatic sequelae, the fragments of confused memories, or the real foresight of the future? Xiuzhen herself was also very scared. The Chinese word in the movie poster above means: "Prisoner in the phantom, I am not wrong." ”
Later, with the addition of the police detective (played by Park Sang-wook), the whole thing is even more confusing and terrifying...
I have to say that in terms of niche films, the overall level of Korean films in Asia belongs to the first-class leading position, from the fantastic plot design of the screenwriting team, the exquisite conception of some small details, the exaggerated but real performances of the actors, coupled with the director's unique angle and financial control of the entire production, often creating some small production products, becoming a very representative classic film in the Asian film industry, and often winning awards internationally.
Simple family scenes are mainly supported by lines and acting skills
The unusual story and character setting, the suspenseful plot, the thrilling and tense atmosphere, the appropriate framework and compact plot of the whole film, are very attractive to the audience, and the viewing experience is excellent.
Is the truth a stone sinking into the sea, or is it a stone out of the water?
There is also a film about memory in Japan, the title of the film "Tomorrow's Memory", and the title of this film means the same thing, but Chinese the translation of the name is one word apart, starring the famous Japanese film star Watanabe Ken ("The Last Samurai", "Inception") who broke into Hollywood, and was released in 2006. The story tells the story of a middle-aged couple's family, when the husband's memory suddenly fades, the most profound and important elements or pictures in life will be highlighted, becoming the imprint of life in the world of two people.
Which of the most profound and important elements or pictures in life are there?
It is worth mentioning that during the filming, Watanabe Ken and the famous director Yukihiko Tsui, who was specially invited by him, often came to the set in advance, and the two abandoned the script, temporarily changed the lines, and repeatedly considered word by word, in order to seek the realism of the line dialogue, so that the audience could resonate with and feel realistic.
