14-Jan-2011] Actor Gong Yoos movie picks
Source: http://www.asiae.co....011416561909061
It was something we realized once again -- how well Gong Yoo fits the role of the considerate main male character in a romantic comedy. There is something that is quite friendly and trustworthy about his looks in how his height proves his early career as a model and his eyes are so filled with childish mischief. But according to his filmography, the kind of romance he showed on screen was mostly closer to odd and immature, rather than sweet and warm. He played the clumsy Choi Go-bong in film Spy Girl (2004) who on the Internet uploaded a picture of a part-timer girl at a fast-food restaurant he fell in love with, not knowing she is actually a North Korean spy on a mission. And he was the very example of immature and selfish young guys in the character he played in S Diary (2004). Even his character Han-gyeol from TV drama The 1st Shop Of Coffee Prince (2007, MBC) that most solidified Gong Yoos image as a romantic heartthrob, held the audacious, brusque air continued from his series Hello My Teacher" (2005, SBS).
That is why seeing him play Ki-joon from film Finding Mr. Destiny (2010) is all the more delightful. Ki-joon does his best to find his client Ji-woos (Lim Soo-jung) first love Kim Jong-wook even though there is not much to look forward to in terms of return, just for the sake of staying true to his promise. In other words, Ki-joon happens to be the most mature character Gong Yoo has played so far according to his filmography. He may face a few losses by leaning a bit too much on principle but nonetheless, this is a guy who believes in promises, love and more than anything, people. One can also presume how Gong Yoo has changed by looking at the different characters he has played throughout his career. I've never thought of approaching the audience with a certain strategy just because I was away for the past two years. And I didnt want to bother with following the formula that I have to take on a macho role just because I just got discharged from the military. The important thing was to receive a good script.
This actor, who so calmly and in an orderly manner explained how he chooses his roles, now has more depth. That makes it even more interesting to find out the romance movies of his taste which he describes as the kind that feel anew even after watching several times. They are the kind of movies that tell how people mature through love, rather than two young people rushing for love.
1. 500 Days Of Summer
2009 | Mark Webb
This is the best among the romantic comedies Ive watched recently. I especially liked the fact that the story proceeds from a males point of view which is rare in this genre. I even tightened my fist and growled 'What a nasty gal' to Summer (laugh). I liked almost everything about the film, from the illustrations that occasionally pop up, to small details like the films starting narration. And in the last scene where the character said 'Autumn' It felt like... wow..."
Copywriter Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who specializes in writing catchphrases for greeting cards, falls in love with carefree girl Summer (Zooey Deschanel) who joins the company as an administrative assistant. The two end up becoming more than friends but start to clash with each other little by little as Tom tries to take the relationship to the next level while Summer persists she doesnt want to get tied down. At a glance the story may look like a story of failed love but the film actually ends on the hopeful note that those destined to fall in love will meet each other eventually amid coincidences that continue to pile up.
2. The Kids Are All Right
2010 | Lisa Cholodenko
Its about a lesbian couple who form a family with children who were born through artificial insemination. Julianne Moore and Annette Benning star as the main leads. When the sperm-donor visits the couple to see his children, a kind of closeness is felt between him and Julienne Moore. In other words, Julienne has an affair but she goes back to her family with her son and daughter. The film may be about lesbians but it also touches lightly on the fact that their love is no different from that shared by heterosexual couples.
There is a family created by a lesbian couple in which a heterosexual man who is also a biological father to their children, tries to push his way in. But The Kids Are All Right is not about the conflict between the minority versus majority. The conflict arising from Jules (Julienne Moore), the co-head of the family, falling for Paul (Mark Ruffalo), the biological father of her child, is hardly a matter of right and wrong regarding homosexual love but rather about whether one will remain with and protect one's family. Such a casual view on family love within a lesbian household is convincing enough for a good majority of heterosexual couples to sympathize with without the use of any political slogans.
3. Art Museum By The Zoo
1998 | Lee Jeong-hyang
I think this was the film that marked a new turning point for Korean romantic comedies. Compared to Hollywood, Korean romantic comedies tend to be extremely vague when it comes to identity and focus mostly on forcing laughter but not this one. The process of how the male and female leads of the story start to change each other and eventually fall in love while writing a script titled 'Art Museum By The Zoo' was portraying very naturally. I wish thats what my movie 'Finding Mr. Destiny (2010)' will be like too. 'Art Museum' is an enjoyable piece even till today."
An art museum and a zoo. A love that silently observes and a love that has to see, touch and feel. Art Museum talks about these two types of love represented by Choon-hee (Shim Eun-ha) and Chul-soo (Lee Sung-jae), respectively. But the film does not side with either point of views and instead accentuates the process of how the two communicate to come to understand and accept each other as they are. The most important thing is probably neither the art museum nor the zoo but what is next to them.
4. Before Sunset
2004 | Richard Linklater
What I liked about this film is that I know it must have been a pretty tough job working on long take shots. The same goes for the director too. But I believe that as long as one can memorize all the lines, long takes may be the real way to reveal what the actor is truly made of. All the walking scenes of the two main characters, as they meet each other once again, were shot in long takes. I was also amazed to learn that those two actors even wrote their own lines. Some people found it dull and boring but I, for one, liked it very much, maybe because Im an actor, too.
An encounter like one in Before Sunrise (1995) is something that any young person going on a trip overseas alone would dream of. Before Sunset tells the story of the same young man and a woman meeting nine years after their earlier encounter whose moments were all the more dazzling because of its brevity. During the past nine years Jesse (Ethan Hawke) became a novelist and Celine (Julie Delphy) an environmental activist who come across each other by chance just like the first time they met. Despite the change in times the two continue to share a mutual understanding. The film shows the process of how such feelings flow between the two people through their exchanges depending on flow of time, catching every detail of the process through which they fall in love.
5. Notting Hill
1999 | Roger Mitchell
My idea of a good romantic comedy is that it should still be fun when you watch it again and I believe Notting Hill fits the bill. After all, its not at all easy to see the same film two or three times and still find it enjoyable. And it is pretty much set that romantic comedies will end happily ever after. In that sense, Notting Hill' too is an obvious story about a popular actress and an ordinary book keeper finding true love but it was packaged so well.
Aside from the roles of the main male and female character being reversed, Notting Hill faithfully follows the same old Cinderella-motif that has been repeated over and over for ages. Ordinary guy William (Hugh Grant) and famous actress Anna (Julia Roberts) meet and fall in love by chance. But one of the reasons that this movie is loved for so long amid the numerous Cinderella stories out there is because of its motif that clearly understands the irresistible nature of love that can happen to you any moment regardless of money and class.
