Memories of... what?!
Here's a movie everyone, (of course, those who were interviewed to have watched it), described to be worthwhile watching and 'pang-international. But if they were to show this to other countries, well I guess they'll have to think again.
Okay, the concept of someone from the past communicating with someone in the present is nice. But for the information of everybody, it was not an original story produced by GMA Films.
Being the 'everyhting korean fan' that I am, I have watch countless movies from Korea and even from other Asian Countries. The story of Moments of Love was very much the same with some korean movies and even a hollywood movie shown a long time ago. this hollywood film I am talking about was entitled '
Somewhere in Time.'
The korean movies I have been talking about were '
Ditto' and '
Il Mare.' I'm not too sure but
Kim Ha-neul and
Yo Ji-tae starred in
Ditto while the
Jeon Ji-hyeon (from Sassy Girl) and
Lee Jeong-jae were the lead cast in
Il Mare. The only difference between the two was that in Ditto, they communicate through HAM Radio while in Il Mare through letters.
FYI: the movie
Il Mare has a
hollywood version with
Sandra Bullock and
Keanu Reeves. But I don't know what happened to it and why until now it's still not being shown. I have heard about this about a year ago and after that I haven't seen even a single promotion or whatsoever.
Another movie I have watched and which was actually shown here the movie of Ken Zhu of F4 and Gigi Leung, this time from Taiwan, entitled
Sky of Love. Well pretty much the same storyline as Ditto.
Okay, so there they are. But as what I have read in the dailies, GMA Films admitted themselves that it wasn't an original story. This was after some of the write-ups which came out from several tabloids questioning GMA's claim that Moments was an extraordinary story.
