spoiler alert and i really mean it . read no further unless you be prepared to have a major plot element reveal . okay and first i have get ta say that i have a relatively high tolerance for depress film . i will watch and appreciate film about true life horror ( such a war and the holocaust ) or where death and sadness be important to the plot but i hate film like steal magnolia and term of endearment where the film be build around a manipulative death of a main character . so and already no matter how well make this film be and it get a major strike against it because one of the main character dy from a disease at the end ( though they never say what he have in the english subtitled version ) . so you might ask yourself and then if this blow hard hat this type of film and then why do he watch it in the first place . you would have an excellent point to ask this and though i hope i be not really a blow hard . well and when i find it in our local library i have no idea what it be about . the movie be not intend specifically for export and a the subtitle be in korean and english and japanese and the box be print all in korean . well and be a fan of try film from any nation ( i have see film from probably at least 30 40 different country ) and i give it a try . well and apart from the obligatory death and i love the film and so hat the way it end . while i usually hate hollywood type miraculous ending and i want to see the guy save through some new drug or experimental surgery . i be really bum that he have to die particularly since he seem like one of the nice people i have see in film in a long time . his smile be infectious and i really want him to get the girl in the end . oh well and at least i can appreciate the film message that you need to seize the moment . great acting and music and etc . and but just not the most satisfying end for me . this film be good enough to encourage me to try some more korean cinema .
