I just watched Hello Ghost (2010) the second time and I got this feeling that this wouldn’t be the last time. FYI, Hello Ghost is Korean film about a young man named Sang Man played by the awesome Cha Tae Hyun, who attempted suicide a couple of times but fails. However, his near to death experience has brought him one consequence and that he was able to see dead people. Now, he got to help these 4 ghosts to fulfill their last wishes to get rid of them. Just to realize that those wishes were promises to Sang Man which was left undone because of car tragedy when Sang Man was young. The trauma brought by the tragedy erased Sang-Man’s memory of his family. Therefore, he had this feeling of severe loneliness.
The movie was an absolute killer. It will brought you to tears, either because of too much laughter or too much emotions. I was taken away by the ending. Although, I did expect some revelations at the end provided that Sang Man was an orphan. I was still blown away big time with the execution of the ending. I cry every time I reached that end.
Honestly, I got a lot of realization because of this movie. Few weeks back, I got an argument with my mom and I was really hurt. I didn’t talk to her for weeks. I’m even planning of moving out. However, I noticed some changes these days. Gradually, I speak to her, like asking her what’s for dinner and that. I believe subconsciously the movie has soften some rock inside me especially with the issue about my mom. I’m really glad I watched this film. Topics about life, death, family and unconditional love knock me out every time.
