Sunny Movie Review (Korean)
Movie reviewsKorean movie Sunny (2011) is a light hearted campy friendship movie. It shows the journey of a woman looking back on what her life was like back in middle school. We see constant flashbacks in this movie. In the beginning it shows a woman. The woman is a very successful woman. Has a very loving husband and daughter. She's a bit like a mary- sue. But anyways she wants a bit of her past life back. The carefreeness of youth. One day she finds out her friend from middle school is sick. The friend wants to get all the girls together and spend one last time with them. The main character goes on a journey looking for her friends, and we see what their lives have turned out like. She finds them, but right when she finds them her friend has died. Now she has to get them all to her friend's funeral.
Interesting points ( things i noticed/ liked or didn't like)
They made a lot of refrences to girl groups such as Girls Generation. Wonder Girls, Suzy.
The outfits they wore were supposed to represent the 80's but they were more 70's ish
I learned a bit of Korean history in this movie. They talked about the change to/ fight for Democracy.
In my opinion there was a bit of gay subtext in this movie. I'm surprised no one has written about it. I think I might have saw one other person talk about it, but no one else. The main character when she was a young girl. In her young girl mode seemed to be obsessed with this Suji character. She was really obsessed with her wanting to be her friend. It really wasn't normal. She liked her a bit too much. But I don't know maybe that's a korean thing idk. Obsessive friendships to the point of being a relationship. She really could have been like okay fine Suji dosen't want to be friends I'm cool with that but she wasn't.
5/10
This movie was a bit typical. In terms of the way friendship was shown, and portrayed on screen. It isn't anything we haven't seen before, and that's a bit dissapointing. But if you're into friendship films you'll like this. This movie did have a lot of fun and funny situations.
