Review
France, Taiwan, and Spain. The third trip of "Grandpas Over Flowers" ended. The grandpas who finished their trip left a strong impression.
"I think I verified that I was still useful and didn't need to be treated like I was a waste. So, this is really encouraging." (Park Geun Hyung).
"This was a great trip. A trip that I will wonder whether I really did when I die" (Baek Il Sup).
The reviews of the two 'grandpas' that finished their trip leaves a strong impression by itself. In every scene that shows their expressions, there is sincerity. The grandpas say its their last trip but it's not possible to just smile. However, this is most definitely not the last trip. I hope that they will leave to a new place tomorrow. This is a wish of 'staying with' the grandpas for a very long time. Because this is the last, there is another beginning waiting.
"The goal has been reaching, haha. Everyone opposed this occupation. So regardless of who evaluated us, we had pride in that we were taking part in art. If it was just about money or fame, we would've transitioned already." (Lee Soon Jae). "Bury ten years. Whatever occupation it is, actor or not, there needs to be ten years of time before there is a foundation to be a professional. (Shin Gu).
Such is the attitude aht Shin Gu and Lee Soon Jae carry in 'Granpas Over Flowers" as the leaders. After the grandpas finish their trip, they are returning to their daily lives and staying committed to their acting. Their lives and passion itself is enough to make other realize a lot. When it's a bit difficult and tough, a lot of people give up easily.
Now, Lee Soon Jae, Shin Gu, Park Geun Hyung and Baek Il Sup as well as the "luggage boy" Lee Suh Jin is like a family. Shin Gu looks for Lison on his own as this was a palce that he so wanted to go to but his face isn't all that happy. He's sad that he had to leave his older and younger siblings by themselves. Lee Suh Jin also thinks about the 'grandpas' and makes sure they have their blankets and is planning to fix their scarf.
The first, second, and the third trips were all conducted together and they act like a married couple that have lived together for a while as it's possible to see their insides even if they're not verbal. The most important thing is that their feelings are conveyed to the viewers. "Grandpas over flowers" gave a natural smile and moved emotions in that way. Along with that came expectations. The fourth trip will hopefully start soon.
