A Moment to Remember (2004)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A moment to remember is truly an exceptional film.It does not involve comedy as such instead its a very sad film which will surely touch your heart.According to me it is one of the best romantic film ever.The movie clearly shows us what is the true meaning of love and that saying 'I love you' means much much more than words.this film literally made me cry and I bet u will also.I would like to narrate the whole story but I don't want to ruin the film for u.The only reason why I rated it 9 stars instead of 10 is because it is not a true story. The movie involves some powerful dialogue such as" there is an eraser in my head ". "I will remember everything for you" are truly amazing.I am sure you won't regret watching this film.

Traveling to the cinema in South Korea must be one of the single most excruciating pastimes when one considers the emotional features their country is known for producing - imagine, 200 South Koreans, sitting in a room with a massive screen, bawling their eyes out, as the most melodramatic material plays out before them. A Moment to Remember is beautifully representative of this, and though some have previously criticized the feature as resembling The Notebook, not only is the film vastly different, it is also superior.Based upon the Japanese TV program Pure Soul, the feature opens immediately with Su-Jin (Son Ye-Jin), a young woman who experiences forgetfulness on a daily basis. As she later admits, it was her poor memory that led her to meet Cheol-Su (Jung Wu-Sung), who she later has difficulty placing when she happens to bump into him once again. Ms. Ye-Jin is absolutely phenomenal in this role, the desperation and tearfulness she articulates while trying to remember something, coupled with the blankness in her eyes when a memory has completely been erased, making for a truly heartbreaking experience. This is furthered by the performance of Mr. Wu-Sung, both of the leads having superb on-screen chemistry that brings the gorgeousness, and the agony of their relationship, to life.The visuals, from the lavish openness of the natural environment Cheol-Su intends to build their dream home upon, to the hominess of their residence, is sublime at capturing the affectionate beauty of the world that exists around the characters. The costumes brilliantly suit the leads as well, both in their occupations, and their personal lives, but it is the attire they wear to their wedding that is easily the most glamorous, capturing the romantic atmosphere of this touching moment.Although Su-Jin's memory deteriorates over time, rather than the tragedy been an instant occurrence, we, the audience, helplessly and painlessly watch as the gorgeous couple begin to experience the unforgivable pain that comes between them, their love, and their memories, though Cheol-Su's determination to remain by Su-Jin's side is possibly the most painfully beautiful occurrence of all. It should already be colossally obvious that this feature is bound to cause some tears, the later stages of the feature especially requiring tissues.Originally loathed by some of her co-workers for instigating a relationship with a fellow individual in their department, Seo Young-Min (Baek Jong-Hak), a married man, prior to the commencement of the film's storyline, as Su-Jin's memory begins to fracture, and Seo ventures back into her life, desperate to rekindle their affair, Su-Jin begins exhibiting difficulty attempting to differentiate the past, from the present.Though Su-Jin later stipulates how Cheol-Su never vocally admitted his love for her, the tears he sheds, after admitting he couldn't cry no more after experiencing a painful upbringing, brilliantly visualizes the agony he suffers each time he looks at the woman he loves, only to have her look at him like a stranger. The performances by the other cast members assist in further drawing the viewer into the world of the characters, and though the doctor who discovers Su-Jin's condition, D Lee (Kwon Byung-Gil) is blunt and unforgiving in his description of her mental affliction, he captures the unsympathetic realism that so many doctors demonstrate in reality.The script, which accentuates the dramatic elements, alongside using occasional humor, is delightful, and the soundtrack, that is designed to help the audience comprehend the feelings taking place during the accompanying moments, is equally excellent. Occasionally cute, touching, sad, but always honest in its depictions, A Moment to Remember is not a film that can be watched - it has to be, for it is dramatic excellence at its finest.

A beautiful, and almost poetic, love story of a couple, in which one of them gets diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The movie might seem a little long, and sometimes dragging, but the story, the dialogues, the intensity of the situations and Woo-sung Jung's (lead male's) acting keep you interested till the end.Though there have been many movies where one of the partners in a relationship is stricken with some sort of illness, this one comes as a fresh and mesmerizing romantic drama which is sure to get at least a few tears out of you.The Korean name of the Film, which literally translates into 'Eraser in my Head' is apt for the movie. The movie is based on a 2001 Japanese Television show 'Pure Heart'.

The best movie i have ever seen....hands down!!! One can easily connect to the story for it is so natural and you are bound to cry at times. The main credit goes to the actors. Son Ye Jin was ecstatic as Su Jin. She has a very cute and innocent face that she perfectly fits into the character. The director has made a smart move by selecting her to portray the character that was cute at the initial stages and required some serious acting skills towards the end. Son Ye Jin has given more than her 100 per cent to get into the skin of the character. The scene where she asks Jung Woo Sung to reunite with his mother and he refuses, she did a fabulous job. The scene where she knows the truth about her disease and asks her Jung Woo Sung if he wants to have a baby, she was simply amazing. Both these scenes are completely contrasting. The former is an emotional scene and the latter is something which is really hard to describe as it consists of mixed emotions. She came out with flying colors in these both scenes. These are a testimony to her acting prowess.Jung Woo Sung was good as well. He did a great job by portraying himself as a rough carpenter and he fits the bill. The most important thing that needs to be mentioned here is the chemistry between the two actors. It was out of the world. They seemed like real life pair and in each every scene it was like we are seeing a pair next door. The director also needs a special mention as he did an amazing job by working on the screenplay and the chemistry between the actors with a script that has nothing new in the store. Hats off to him!!! Even the background score was good. The camera work was mind blowing. Subtle and simple especially in close up shots,the guy has got some serious talent.On the whole it is movie worth watching which is like an oasis in a desert of meaningless movies!!!
