In the past, I had never been a big movie watcher, but after watching one movie, my perception changed, and now I am enthusiastic about watching movies and series. I have realized that movies can entertain me and provide a break from my daily routine. I have also learned that movies can teach me important life lessons and open up my perspective.
Edited on Canva I became interested in watching movies after watching Squid Game, a K-drama series that completely changed my perception of K-drama. After watching that series, I realized how talented and amazing many K-drama actors are. I was amazed by their acting skills and how they were able to portray such realistic characters. I also gained an appreciation for the Korean film industry and the diverse stories they tell. I was hooked and decided to watch more K-dramas.
Ever since then, I have watched many other interesting K-drama and non-Kdrama series. In all of these movies and series that I have watched, there is one that has stuck with me for long after the credits roll.
Have you experienced something similar to that before?
We all have at least one cinematic experience. Whether it’s an emotional love story or spooky horror, each has its own special way of pulling our emotions. For me, that movie was 'Nowhere'.
I originally read the title as 'Now Here' but later realized it was Nowhere, a Netflix movie I watched. I was captivated by the heartbreaking journey of the main characters and was left feeling moved and inspired. The movie left a lasting impression on me and has remained one of my favorites to this day.
When I started watching the movie, at first it seemed like it was going to be a boring movie, but I continued watching.
Everything in that movie felt so real, especially when the woman was in labour and delivered her baby by herself inside the water. I cried because of the emotions that I felt. I was amazed at how the character was able to remain calm and focused despite the intense pain.
Initially, the people who captured her and some others planned to take them somewhere, but something went wrong, and all of them died. However, the woman hid herself somewhere where the bullets would not hit her and was the only one who survived in the container.
As the container was being transported to another place, it got lost in the sea. The pregnant lady was all alone inside the container.
There were scenes in the movie that showed how she was able to survive all alone in the container. She used her wits and resourcefulness to stay alive and eventually escape.
After giving birth to her baby, she did her best to take care of her child and also survived on the food that was stored in the container.
When the food ran out, she was unable to eat; it was a difficult time for her as she had to eat to breastfeed her baby, but after being hungry for a long time with nothing to eat, she opened the container where she stored her placenta and ate it, which shocked me. She was desperate and thought that the placenta was the only way she could get nourishment for herself and her baby. I was stunned and speechless.
In the end, she and her baby were rescued by a passing ship. Although the movie ended on a sad note, since she lost both her husband and daughter, it did not show what happened after they were rescued.
I like the movie, but I would have liked to see the aftermath of the rescue. What were the consequences of this experience? What were the long-term effects?
It would have been longer and possibly boring if they had shown those parts, so I recommend you watch it as it ended well.
