i just watched windstruck! ok so the ending was so lame it made me want to shut my eyes and imagine my own ending, but still i really really enjoyed the show, if only because sassy girl is just fantastic. it's amazing how she could just pour her heart out into a movie that didn't exactly seem worth the effort. the way she screamed into her walkie talkie for an ambulance while holding her dying bf was so real and so desperate i could almost feel the people beside me reaching for their handphones to dial 911 for her (or 995 in our local context). oh boy the idiot beside me had beautiful ringtones man. real smooth. and it's amazing how his phone has to ring right at the emotive scenes when everything is quiet, just at the moment when everyone's heart is about to tear....

but that's another story. yah back to screaming into walkie talkies. oh yah and the way she called his handphone after he died, and talked to his answering machine....i hate answering machines. i hate it when i so desperately need to talk to you, and all i hear is that same sweet, timid, mildly apologetic voice that i knew and loved so well, those same lines over and over again. sigh....that's why i don't call anymore.

but anyway....

oh and the part i love most about the show is when she stands teary-eyed at the window, and the gust of wind that's myungwoo's spirit blows into the room, lifting up her lustrous hair.... and then the front of her sweater is brushed aside for a long moment revealing the words "Giordano" on her t-shirt underneath. Classic. I really love it when the movie makers try so hard. imagine the poor technician painstakingly adjusting the fan speed, imagine the 20 takes it took to get the sweater flapping the right way at the right time. that's what sponsors are for. to stretch the limits of cinematic ingenuity.
