Just perfect...
Crappy film
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
A Depress doctor wishes to change his past if he can, comes across a mean of time travel. As the few beginning journey's he tries to absorb everything that everything was reality, but when he understands the changes which he can do in his past to make his present life better he realizes that by doing so he will end up losing the only thing he loved in his present life. The story revolves around his multiple time travel journeys in the past to change it, causes a change in his present life and the people who are close to him. At the end he figures out a solution which will change his past without losing the only person he loved in his present life. Few things which i liked were , the old aged doctor meeting his young self and means of communicating from past to present. On the whole the movie is interesting but the mean used for the time travel is ridiculous. The idea of changing the past in such a way without affecting the present completely is quite awesome.
"Will You Be There?" is an adaptation of Guillaume Musso's 2006 bestselling novel with the same title. South Korean cinema adds one more feather in its cap by adapting such a fantastic novel and Hong Ji-young did true justice to it.A surgeon (Kim Yun-Seok) helps an old man by operating on his granddaughter during a flood in Cambodia. The old man asks what is your last wish and surgeon says "my only wish is to see my girlfriend" but she died in an accident 30 years ago. The old man gives him 10 pills which allow him to travel in time to the past. The narration is immaculate and the idea of time travel is utilized magnificently, going back in past and meeting yourself is portrayed with great ingenuity, a dash of humor & melodrama. South Korean movies are known for this peculiarity.The characters are developed seamlessly; human emotions are captured well. It also draws the protagonist's conflict with relationships and who to choose, the sacrifices are irreversible.Attention to the details is commendable here as we see the height, smoking style, hairstyle and body language of the protagonist is similar. The cinematography is spectacular and editing makes the movie crisp as the transition of scenes from 1985 to 2015 happens flawlessly.A must watch film.7.5/10
