20th Century Girl Review

Anonymous - January 31st, 2023

20th Century girl is a film about a girl named Bo-ra and her best friend Yeon-du. Where Bo-ra undergoes a mission to find information about this guy Hyun jin for her friend Yeon du, while she travels to the USA to await heart surgery due to her having heart problems. Throughout the movie Bo-ra ends up falling for Hyun jin as they get close together but doesn't want to ruin her friendship with Yeon-du so she acts like she's not interested. When Yeon du finds out about the situation, she is hurt but doesn't want to ruin their friendship over a guy and lets them be. Bo-ra finally decides to tell Hyun Jin the truth right when he is about to travel back to New zealand where he promises her that he would come back. Years later without any information about him she finally finds out the truth. The ending of the film was so shocking and heartbreaking. I was left speechless at the end but was also expecting something bad to happen. Although the ending was left with tears, it was memorable and showed how beautiful friendship can be with your friends and with someone that you might never see again. I would recommend this movie for someone who loves a funny, love story but warning for a tearful ending.
