This movie was so honest and simple without taking anything away from the emotional depth. You know how they say less is more? This movie exactly. I was holding my breath the entire time (in a good way), really just spellbound. And their dinner scene when they were talking about inyun together in person....so beautifully done.
Just saw the movie! Everyone was PERFECTLY CAST. The three of them (along with John) gave their characters so much life. I also absolutely loved the writing and direction -- you could actually feel like it's a real thing that could've happened somewhere, and it made it so much more beautiful and painful. Loved it!
I just read the review by Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian (again) after watching the film and I agree this is a beautiful, heart-wrenching film and, indeed, a 'must-see', but I don't think Hae Sung can be described as someone 'who has sacrificed everything in his life for this distant real love' - the film is more nuanced than that. To give an example: when Nora asks Hae Sung over Skype why he doesn't learn English instead of Mandarin, he doesn't put love first and learn English which would make it possible for him to build a life with her in America, but instead prioritises his career as an engineer. Both characters in this sense fail to grasp the opportunities when they present themselves, and they end up saving what can be saved in the time they are together. This makes them very human and explains why we can relate to them so easily.
He is korean, who lives with his family. (in the movie) He is expected to do that. She suddenly shows up in his life. They were really not meant to be.
I loved the scene he’s talking about, with Nora and Arthur talking in bed. Up until that scene I was wondering if they had the same connection, if they were truly happy in their marriage; that scene sealed it for me. It was so brief yet communicated so much about who they were as a couple.
My favourite scene is in front of the orbiting carousel - spinning as a globe. I had tears rolling down my face. How is it possible to connect so eternally with 2 characters in less than 2 hours? Incredible film. Superbly directed. Sensational performances. Timeless poetry and wonderful cinema. Such a triumph! 🎉
Past Lives is almost the same with mine. I met "a my very close friend" at 14 at middle school. A year later we separated bcause my family move to other city. We met 3 years later and continue our long distance relationship with letters. Then we lost contact in our 18yo. For 30 years I did tried to find him. Until I got news that he has passed away 5 years ago. Well, finally I just can visit his grave. Knowing him in my teenager was my beautiful moment in time.
This movie depicts the different and complex emotions of the three people really well. I empathized very deeply with the three people throughout the second half of the movie.
I've just come out of the cinema after watching Past Lives, with my eyes were reddened and sinuses running. A beautiful movie!!! How many of us can look back on loves lost and emotions torn?? Every one of us!!!
Fantastic movie. I believe this movie relates to a lot of people in ways that are not commonly disclosed in society. Mostly because most humans are afraid to touch this emotion or subject matter. Yes folks it is possible to love another while you are in a committed relationship with someone else.
Wow..great acting & great actors💜🙌amazing story, however, ending is a bit too predictable. Love is always a sacrifice ..now, disguise in a form of Past Lives, Honor, Integrity etc. Few Asian stories ending …in deepest and purest Love , ever! Narrative like this helps many cope with their situation and not taking individuals take accountability on their unwise individual decision making process ! Great acting💜💜💜💜❤️😅💜💜🌹🌹🔥🌹🌹🌹🌹
Eu até acredito. Mas como saber o que passa na cabeça do outro se ele não te dizer. De modo que eu acho que o melhor é enterrar mais 1 uma vez este sentimento. Viver como se a pessoa tivesse morta. Pior que isso é terrível macabro enterrar uma é pior coisa do mundo.

God, this guy. He is so masculine and yet has that childlike innocence about him. I hope to see him in many more films.
I just want to cuddle him!
He is 42 grown ass man off course he appears masculine
watch love to hate you- its a korean romcom though, but with mature adults
@@lepasmrtmany grown men aren’t masculine, why can’t you just let someone compliment someone bro
@@lepasmrt Ben Shapiro is 39 basically same age group. Masculinity is a relative scale.

It truly was perfection. I finished watching it fifteen minutes ago and I am still quietly sobbing over it.

These two deserved at least an Oscar nomination for this film. They were great!

its kinda like la la la land is so many ways thinking about this point you know.

i think nore did not love his husband as she loved hae sung
he acted the konglish/broken English so well in the movie ^^
he sounds more like a Chinese in this video but South Korean in the movie. bit weird.
@@kelly-jz1jvhe has German accent, not Chinese.
true, i think he lived longer abroad than in South Korea.
@@danngenesispilapil1384true he lived in German for 20 years then moved for New York. And pursue his acting career in SK now.
I left the theatres crying so Hard! This Movie was so good
They are both SO wonderful in this terrific film. Loved it!

Oh god. The movie made me cry but reading this comment is making me cry more because it described everything so beautifully.
Thank you for putting in words all these feelings. I felt trully spoken up by your words, as I feel exactly the same about this piece of art
Amazing dialogue. Loved when he says their inyun was one where she leaves. 💔

I'm dying here 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 I haven't cried that much in a long time
@@Fhoebys16 Nice comment. 🥰
Wow, his German accent totally comes through - what a trip!
He is German?
@@captlanc Yup!
i am in love with that actor
He is so attractive.
Fantastic movie. I believe this movie relates to a lot of people in ways that are not commonly disclosed in society. Mostly because most humans are afraid to touch this emotion or subject matter. Yes folks it is possible to love another while you are in a committed relationship with someone else.
I am glad this role landed for him even though he was not the initial choice
wow teo and i have the same favorite scene! great minds think alike!
I have a thing for Greta. She's so attractive
I absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING about this movie. It was beautiful, honest and heartwrenching. I hope there is a sequel one day! 💜

i've seen plenty pf videos with Greta, and finally found smth with Teo, he is so comfort!
Loved her in the morning show.
very tragic ending for hae sung he needs to be happy too. falling again with your childhood sweetheart is not normal but could be a love triumphant.
I bawled for him at the end 🤧😭

Teo yoo bravissimo, bellissimo e bella voce
Teo Yoo is sooo lovable
Teo Yoo I see the man that you are (a dreamboat)
