Changing Face, or Being Happy with your own

May 5th, 2008 by

It’s movie revue time, and some of you know I tend to watch odd movies. I am reluctant to talk about this movie, because is may sound a lot like my other post “Relationships and the Spotless Mind”

This Movie is called “Time”. An asian film about a women whose boyfriend, has “wandering eyes”, so to speak. In other words a women walks by and he looks at her. The main character a women named See-heh, finally gets fed up with her boyfrien Ji-woo, and goes to a plastic surgeon.
He warns her (The Surgeon, Ji Woo doesn’t know yet) over and over that it’s a bad idea, she agrees anyway and gets a whole new face.
She then moves out of her aprtment and just leaves Ji-woo.
He putters around town, goes on a few dates, and months later he meets a women, they hit it off, real well, but when the women asks him about See-heh, he says he still loves her. Turns out the new woman is See-Heh, and just renames her self See-Hee. She loses him, and he goes away.

Of course thats not the whole movie, just wanted to give you an idea of it, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m happy with the face I got, and if I weren’t(believe me I sometimes wish I had a different face) I wouldn’t change it. My parents gave me that face and I’m proud of it.
NO women outside of my family is worth me changing the way I look, it’s crazy, it’s insane to think
that someone would do that.

I’ve mentioned to family and friends that I would be happy to get a tattoo of my children’s names on me, but a women’s? HELL NO!

All in all the movie makes a good point, that sometimes what you want, and what you need are two entirely different things. If you get the chance and like subtittled movies(It’s english subtittle, but voice is in Korean) check it out, it’ll make you think twice about how much you really love how you look.

Thanks again.

    Hey John nice post.

    I agree with about not changing my looks. Society I think is too caught up on the way they look. I feel if someone doesn’t like they way you look,then they are not worth the time and day.
