Sunny
(2011)
Wife and mother Im Na-mi is visiting her mother in the hospital when
she happens to pass the room of her former high school classmate, Ha
Chun-hwa. She has cancer, only has two months left to live, and she
was the leader of their high school group of friends. Na-mi then
takes it upon herself to reunite their old gang, “Sunny,” and
half the movie is told in flashbacks as the group slowly reunites. In
the process, Na-mi rediscovers herself and her life is enriched.
*Mixed
feelings about this film. There are over two dozen F-bombs and lots
of other swearing throughout, plus it is a bittersweet film as the
friend with cancer does in fact die during the course of the movie.
The way the plot was woven with back story was very interesting,
though, and it speaks to the heart of true friendship – for the
good times and the bad. I don't think I'd watch this again simply
because it makes me too sad.*
