Windstruck-ed

Over the weekend, i was Windstruck-ed. Yeah another one of those crazy phases to go and hunt for something. This time its about Korean movies. After Sex and Zero 1 and 2, i was obsessed in wanting to watch more Korean movies. Not knowing what other titles are good, naturally one would Google in this day and age. So after checking several forums, the titles which were repeated over and over again would be added to my list of movies to download.

Windstruck was one of the few movies which was almost always on the top 3 of many people's list. After i managed to get my hands on it, i watched it and i got to say, its a very good love story with its ups and downs, totally toying the audience's emotions, well i may be exagerating coz im emo so im easily toyed :p Maybe im just a fool for sappy love stories.

I wanted so much to screen capture some scenes as i find in some angles the main actress looks very similar to a friend but the result of the screen capture is just a black screen :( She denies it of course after seeing the poster of the movie but it really reminds me of her when she was in primary school, not that she has changed much since then.

Also, what is interesting is that this movie have songs from 3 languages, Korean naturally, English for the opening title (Knocking on heaven's door) and a very very beautiful Japanese song. I have got this song on my harddrive after getting a folder full of unnamed Japanese songs from a colleague, listened to it many times but never really know what is the title for it, now i do :)

X Japan - Tears

doko ni yukebaii, anata to hanarete
ima wa, sugisatta toki ni toikakete
nagasugita yoru ni, tabidachi wo yume mita
ikoku no sora mitsumete kodoku wo dakishimeta
nagareru namida wo, toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no, toiki wo kanjite
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears
Through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
And you, you never said goodbye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But i never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sand of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

nagareru namida wo, toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai kanashimi wo, aoi bara ni kaete
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
nagareru namida wo, toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata wo, toiki wo kanjite
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE
DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

This was not the only sappy love story i watched over the weekend so i got a comment from a colleague from a different department asking me, "You look so tired, not enough rest ar?". Well i can't answer that i shed tears for almost all the movies i watched over the weekend so again my reply can only be with a smile :p Now that i have a trilogy of comedies so hopefully, there will only be tears of joy :D

Watched another Japanese movie which i completely forgotten ever since my colleague gave it to me. Cyborg Girl is the general name, if time travel is your thing then this one offers interesting thoughts about how going back in time and changing some events will affect the future.
