Oh, honey, you wanna talk about movies? I seen a few in my time, not many picture shows out here in the sticks, ya know. But that one, what’s it called? 20th Century Girl? That’s a sweet one. Reminds me of when I was a young’un, chasin’ after boys and whatnot. You lookin’ for movies like 20th Century Girl? I reckon I can help ya with that.
Love and Heartbreak, Just Like Old Times
That 20th Century Girl, it’s got that young love, all sweet and innocent. Then bam! Hits ya right in the feels. Breaks your heart a little, just like that First Love one. I seen that one too. Boy, these are some sad Korean movies! That one had some fella, Takeru Satoh, I think his name was. Good lookin’ boy. And a pretty gal, Hikari Mitsushima. These youngsters with their names!
Now, if you like that kinda sad, sweet stuff, there’s a whole heap of ’em. Like that Be With You. They got a Japanese one and a Korean one. And that My Girl and I, Korean one too. They sure do know how to make a gal cry over there. It’s all about that first love, you see, just like in 20th Century Girl. That Bo-ra girl, she had it rough. But it’s all about that special love with them Korean actors in those chick flick movies.
Lots of Movies, Just Like That One
I heard tell there’s a whole bunch, maybe seventy-two, movies like 20th Century Girl. Can you believe it? Seventy-two! My oh my, that is a lot. Back in my day, we was lucky to see one a month! These young folks, they got it easy. They got that Netflix thingamajig. This Netflix is a Netflix original series thing now!
That 20th Century Girl movie, it’s on that Netflix. Got them Korean actors, Kim Yoo-jung and Byeon Woo-seok. Good lookin’ kids. They play teenagers, all full of that young love. Makes you remember your own young days, don’t it? Makes you wanna go back and do it all over again, but maybe with less heartbreak this time.
- Be With You (Japanese and Korean!)
- My Girl and I (Korean)
- First Love (with that Satoh boy)
- Any of them chick flicks on Netflix
Teenage Love and All That Jazz
See, these movies, they all about that teenage love. It’s all dreamy and sweet, like a summer day. Then, just like a summer storm, it all comes crashin’ down. Leaves you feelin’ a little empty inside, but in a good way, ya know? That Bo-ra girl, she was best friends with that Yeon-du. Reminds me of me and my best friend, Mildred. We was always gettin’ into somethin’. Wonder what she’s up to these days. That Bo-ra should have told her best friend, but these youngsters. They never listen to their elders!
These Korean movies, they all got that same kinda feel. They know how to tell a story, that’s for sure. They take ya on a ride, up and down, round and round. Just like life, I reckon. Full of love and loss, happiness and sadness. Makes ya think, don’t it?
Rememberin’ the Good Ol’ Days
These young folks today, they got it all figured out with their fancy phones and their Netflix. But they still watch these movies like 20th Century Girl. Cause deep down, we all the same, ain’t we? We all want that first love, that sweet, innocent kinda love. The kinda love that makes your heart flutter like a butterfly. The kinda love that stays with you, even when it’s gone.
So, if you’re lookin’ for movies like 20th Century Girl, you got plenty to choose from. Just grab some tissues, settle in, and get ready for a good cry. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll remind you of your own first love. And if you never had one, well, maybe these movies will make you feel like you did. They got some good actors, some best chick flicks too! And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? A good story, well told. That’s all you need.
