― Past Lives (2023), dir. Celine Song
"If this is already a past life, who do you think we are to each other in the next?"
"Past Live" gave us one of the best films cinematography, powerful dialogue, and grounded acting, capturing a familiar and authentic essence of life. Set against a backdrop of wistful nostalgia, the movie delves into the intricate interplay of "what if" and "unfinished past love," weaving a tale of heartfelt emotions and missed opportunities.
Amid the captivating "what if" scenarios, the central theme of unfinished past love remains a poignant undercurrent, underscoring the ache of unresolved feelings and unspoken words. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, lending authenticity to their emotions and dilemmas as they grapple with the temptation to alter their shared history.
Throughout the movie, the audience is invited to contemplate the delicate balance between fate and free will, as the characters navigate the blurred boundaries of the past, present, and potential futures.
While the exploration of the "what if" scenarios offers a sense of catharsis, the film ultimately embraces the bittersweet beauty of embracing one's past and moving forward, even if some chapters remain unfinished. Through its evocative storytelling, the movie resonates as a heartfelt ode to the complexities of love, regrets, and the profound impact of the choices we make.
The pain of watching Nora and Hae-sung repeatedly part ways resonates deeply, showing that certain connections are irreplaceable. Ultimately, "Past Lives" managed to depict real-life scenarios without always needing a happy ending.

Did you know SAG-AFTRA is allowing A24 to continue using its actors during the strike because they’ve accepted every single one of SAG-AFTRA’s terms. A small budget film studio can treat its actors and writers fairly. Amazing job goes to A24. Learn from this.
