When I heard the Korean title of this movie at first, I was very
surprised. Because, the title was “I like the wife of my man”. It comes from
the plot, and it isn’t wrong. Vicky, a nationalist and Christina who is in an
open relationship are best friends, and they travel to Barcelona. This story
begins from there. In the romantic city they meet a born womanizer, Juan
Antonio. He is a famous artist and has discovered his wife. He seduces Vicky and
Christina at the same time. Unlike Vicky, Christina and Juan fall in love soon.
Later, Vicky also falls in love with him, but she comes to America again for
her wedding. And, like the Korean title of this movie, Christina has a
relationship with the ex-wife of Juan Antonio. Then, she feels emptiness in the
relationship, and she returns to her daily life. On the other hand, Vicky, who
missed Juan Antonio, meets him again although she has husband. However, after
Maria Elena, ex-wife of Juan Antonio, shoots a gun to her hand, she escapes
from the adultery.
I
think this movie might win the sympathy with women of a certain age, because
their lives don’t change after their short loves. I can’t see an increasing
maturity with the characters after the happening. For example, Vicky noticed
her own feeling, and she knows she will become Judy who is in a loveless
marriage. Nevertheless she stays in marriage.
I
guess the director, Woody Allen intended that life doesn’t change, and we will
repeat the same mistakes. As his reputation, the music and the wit of story are
good. Especially, this movie has image beauty as I want to travel to Barcelona.
It is a great movie. So, I’ll give 9 out of 10 to this movie.(★★★★★★★★★☆)
