In the hands of the talented director Celine Song, Past Lives is not just a conventional romantic drama but also a jouey of profound introspection for the two main characters, Nora and Hae Sung.

Pauline Kael, the legendary film critic, once said: "Movies are the art of moments." And Past Lives is the perfect testament to this statement. Celine Song skillfully interweaves moments of the past, present, and future into the story, creating a multi-layered emotional tapestry of friendship, love, and destiny.

Fragments of broken memories are vividly recreated, taking the viewer back to the innocent childhood of Nora and Hae Sung. We see the image of two children playing on country roads, sharing secrets and nurturing a friendship as beautiful as poetry. Those memories, seemingly buried in time, come back to them with a vengeance when they meet again after twenty years apart, leaving them nostalgic and emotional.

Having gone through the ups and downs of life, Nora and Hae Sung have both made their own choices. Nora marries Arthur, a successful and caring man, but deep down she still thinks of Hae Sung. Hae Sung, despite having many relationships, has yet to find the right person. When they meet again, the youthful feelings are rekindled in him.

The beautiful friendship of the past now faces the challenges of love and fate. Nora and Hae Sung must both make difficult choices between their present and past feelings, between reason and heart. Can they overcome the barriers and mend the broken friendship? Or will they forever be lost in the beautiful memories of the past, unable to move on?

Past Lives does not offer viewers a predictable happy or tragic ending, but instead leaves open questions for the audience to ponder.** Everyone will have different ways of seeing and feeling about this story. Perhaps you will empathize with Nora and Hae Sung, understanding their struggles and inner turmoil. Or maybe you think they made the wrong choices.

No matter what you think, Past Lives will still be a movie that will haunt you long after you watch it.** The film is a reminder of the power of friendship, love, and the beautiful things in life.

With its subtle direction, impressive acting, and profound message, Past Lives is a work of art that you should not miss. Take the time to enjoy this movie and immerse yourself in the wonderful emotions it brings.
