MOVIE SCREAMS COME HERE IF YOU HAVE WATCHED ORIGINAL VERSION
Having watched all the versions of unrequited love , I feel that I am qualified enough to talk about Blue Summer .
The story of unrequited love is really close to my heart because I can really relate to it .
My Blue Summer lacks in one of the major things its predecessors had , THE SENSE OF LONGING , yeah I get it that unrequited love is a slow burn feeling , that heartache , the pain comes gradually so those emotions are difficult to show in just two hour movie . The emotional connect of the viewers to this kind of feeling will also take time. But I have seen better movies on same theme which are able to convey the same thing very effectively .
the movie came out very bland , because I feel that they have really changed the feeling of the story all together . The male lead already knew about the FL 's love before they met in uni ?!!!!!!! What ?That just takes away the essence of the story , it takes away the essence of their relationship building from zero level .
Another thing I wanna point out is that this movie is very dark in its colours , VERY DARK . I get it you are trying to create some sort of sad backdrop but it overshadowed even the scenes which were meant to be happy . In this case the original 2019 version did a great job .(Ps on contrary 2021 just whitewashed everything which I didn't like either )
Next I really didn't like the way Male lead acted .I couldn't feel any chemistry whatsoever . In previous version SH gets infatuated by LZ somewhere because how well she knows him inside out but here , nope .
And and and the worst part is the raincoat scene which in previous ones was one of the actual cause of drama , here comes as a sweet moment between the leads . Many small details such as Baili crying only for 10 mins etc. are there to pay tribute to the og story but really couldn't do it right .
At last I wanna say you might find it really boring if you haven't watched the previous versions and feel no emotional connect and if you have watched the previous ones you might just get angry . YOU SHOULD JUST GO FOR 2019 ONE .
