Su Ae becomes a cop for Miracle

After earning lots of accolades for her last movie, the Vietnam War film You’re Far Away [님은 먼 곳에], 28-year-old Su Ae is taking on a cop role for her next project.

The movie is The Miracle [기적] and will be directed by Han Hyun-seok (his previous work includes short film The Law of Reaction), and while Su Ae is cast in the lead role, the film is taking an omnibus format.

Su Ae’s character becomes a police officer because of her mother, who has searched all her life for her twin sister who was lost at a long age. Because of her sister’s loss, Su Ae has never been able to receive the full love of her mother, who hasn’t given up hope of finding the missing girl. The story intertwines with a fearless gangster who discovers he has cancer and suddenly wonders at the meaning of life, and a doctor who works tirelessly to revive his wife out of her vegetative state but neglects his daughter.

The omnibus film has become rather commonplace, but I think it’s an interesting format if done well (Amores Perros, anyone?) rather than merely slapped together to maximize star potential (as much as I enjoyed it, I found Love Actually somewhat pointless for this reason). Hopefully Su Ae will be able to keep up her upward trajectory and build from the critical success of her last film.

I'm definitely looking forward to You're Far Away finally coming out on DVD. Miracle doesn't have a lot of appeal for me (that could change though), but I think it's because I'm more looking forward to her movie "Like Fire Like Butterfly", opposite Jo Sung-Woo.

"I found Love Actually somewhat pointless for this reason"

Actually I loved Love Actually (had to try, sorry.) Altman-style/anthology narratives can be a bit of a cheat, but this facilitated a buffet of Richard Curtis's trademark "London", all that twee and cardigan optimism that doesn't actually exist in the real UK. It's all fake fake fake (just like Hugh Grant's "Hugh Grant" is fake fake fake), and I couldn't get enough of it.

Su Ae was good in You're Far Away. Definitely a must watch if you like this actress.

The ending left me scratching my head though. Apparently, her journey helped her prove her love to her husband who didn't love her. I don't get it, but maybe the meaning got lost in translation?
