Alzheimer's Disease is a condition of the brain from which there is no recovery. AD attacks the nervous cells of the body especially the brain and therefore damaging a person's ability to rule over their emotions and memory. A person with Alzheimer's Disease losses all memories and mental functioning. This disease had its share on the Korean film, A Moment to Remember whereas one of the major characters was diagnosed to be having a rare case of the said disease. The actors (Son Ye-Jin and Jung Woo-Sung), played their roles smoothly that one can be carried away easily. Their characters were in perfect timing for each other, whereas one showed up when the other one is in need of someone to forget the pain caused by the experiences of the past. The concept in this movie was explained as it goes on with the process, it includes a couple falling in love with each other and the couple falling apart through a painful mishap.
The film is not just simply about a tear-jerking love story, it is about how one can cope up with the changes that can happen in his or her life. It shows how memories can make you happy and frustrated at the same time. But like all the other films, A Moment to Remember is faced with some flaws too, like it has too much commercial elements and though it works to those hopeless romantic people, it shares a common ending whereas one has to die in order in to invoke tears and empathy from the audience, like all other Asian films do. It's purpose is to show that one can always hope for the best, but it made the audience feel bad for the whole story in the end. All in all, the movie is moving, but is typical.
