I was thinking of
coming September although I have barely finished the Winter and should get
ready for the Spring. September is the
end of the summer and the beginning of the fall when the fields are full of blooming
mums. September reminds me of two old movies from my childhood. One was
called "Come September" with Rock Hudson as a main character and the
other was Korean film called "Sopyonje".
The world I was
living as a young girl did not permit much access to the western culture except
occasional western movies in a theater. One day I tagged along with my older brother
and older sister to see "Come September" and it left a lasting
impression on me - whenever I come across this movie being replayed in TV, I return
to the memories of a young girl.
Korean film,"Sopyonje
" is a story of sister and brother musicians who had to overcome
insurmountable obstacles in life and expressed their sorrow and sadness through
their voice with the beautiful scenery of countryside of southwestern province
called "Chunlanamdo". The emotions of the sibling permeated
through the entire movie and I often wonder the if the emotion of "Hahn" has
been a unique experience of being Korean. My heart aches whenever I
remember how I just sat inside the theater after the movie stopped because I
was numb to the core. I can't help this "Hahn" comes across my
art because it would be unnatural for me to be anything else.
I wonder what
movies come to your mind when you think of September. I hope you too have
memorable movies that remind you of the fall.
It only just clicked that September is the ninth month of the year!
