DVD Reviews of Ditto
DVD Review: "I let go of him from my heart..."
Summary: 5 Stars
"I can be your diary for awhile. Your talking diary."
This love story from Korea has the tenderness of snowflakes carried gently from the heavens on a soft winter breeze. From its sepia hued opening to its final shot, this film will gently squeeze your heart until you feel the ache of love which remains even after we are gone, as does its scent. Filled with moments of great romantic beauty and heartbreaking sadness, its complex story told with a simple grace and elegance, it makes my personal list of all-time favorites.
Kim Ha Neul is endearing as Soeun, a shy college student in love with classmate Donghee. Their story of slowly getting together has a sweet innocence which is in contrast to the story of IN (Yoo Ji Tae) and his girlfriend. She is brash and quarrelsome, and is worried she may be an alcoholic. But underneath there is a yet untapped depth which will flourish near the end of this story.
Souen's life in college consists of going to see her her best friend, Sumi, in the hospital with a broken leg, and talking to an unexpected voice in the night, from a HAM radio given her by another student. It was not supposed to be in working order, yet she and IN begin to talk, at first in contentious manner, he thinking she is joking with him about attending the same college nearly 20 years earlier. Much to his girlfriend's displeasure, he makes arrangements to meet Souen.
Both think they were stood up, until her sincerity about current events leads him to give her news of future happenings, and both realize they are living in different times. Whereas most films would use this as a device to propel their love story, director Jeung Gueon Kin and photographer Kwang Suck Jung take this in an entirely different direction. The two come to care for each other, IN becoming her diary for her fledging romance with Donghee, while he wrestles with his girlfriend's drinking and initial disbelief at what he's telling her is happening.
His sudden realization that his parents are attending college with her leads to a romantically heartbreaking bit of information which changes both their lives forever. It also changes his girlfriend's mind about what has been happening, and she decides to support IN. In an emotionally wrenching scene, he discovers the scent still remains. To reveal anything further would ruin the experience for those who have yet to see this piece of film magic.
It begins slowly, and in such a simple manner, you do not expect the touching depth finally revealed. The two most wonderful things about this film are Kim Ha Neul's lovely performance, and the hauntingly beautiful score which helps set the unique atmosphere of a film which takes part of your heart with it, but gives more back. A very special film so heartfelt words cannot adequately describe its effect on the moviegoer. A must own film for anyone with a heart.
