my earnest hope is the paper that follows will answer most of the questions regarding historical fact vs film dramatization .
a young genius frantically races against time to crack an enemy code and solve the mystery surrounding the woman he loves .
o the portrayal of him within the context of events described in the book and depicted in the film ,
code breakers ,
and the recalling of those events , brought an emotional release for all he had been through in his life . neither he nor his classmate in cadet company h - 2 were ever thanked by the academy for their participation in the breaking of the cheating ring in 1951 .
during world war ii , the english mathematical genius alan turing tries to crack the german enigma code with help from fellow mathematicians .

the sunday times reports that mr hodges has been sent a script of the film and is ' alarmed by the inaccuracies it ' .
the film follows the break - up of their relationship , which happened because turing was unable to live a lie by marrying her .
in his off - duty hours , hilton ( played by matthew beard in the film ) earned a reputation as a convivial companion .
in this thoughtful thriller loosely based on the true story of second world war code - breakers at bletchley park , thomas jericho is a gifted but unstable mathematician and cryptologist who returns to his job after having a nervous breakdown caused by overwork and a failed love affair with his co - worker claire romilly . however , he is soon thrown into fresh intrigue as , after he starts work on a seemingly uncrackable german code , claire goes missing and it becomes apparent that a spy has infiltrated the enigma project .
turing , whose genius is attributed to significantly shortening the length of wwii , helped save thousands of lives after discovering the algorithm to break the nazi’s code .
that accuracy wasn ' t that easy to come by , however ; most of the records of turing ' s work for british intelligence during world war ii were destroyed . following the war , nearly every trace of bletchley park ' s day - to - day operations—where turing ( played by benedict cumberbatch in the film ) and his fellow code - breakers were working on cracking germany ' s enigma code—was either erased from history or kept extremely confidential . ( it ' s one of history ' s awful ironies that the general public found out turing was gay , by way of an indecency trial brought by british authorities , long before they found out he was largely responsible for outsmarting the nazis . )
the made for television movie ,
code breakers
was based primarily on the first three chapters , plus excerpts from chapters 8 , 10 , and 20 and other factual information found in the appendices of the book , a return to glory . fundamentally accurate in portraying the essential truths and key figures in west point ' s 1951 honor incident , the film story does , for several reasons , differ from the book in a number of ways , and should be pointed out in use of either or both the book and dvd in classrooms .
alongside the fun , code breakers ponders important questions in the post - gamergate landscape : how do women carve a path in an industry that has historically been hostile towards them ? how do we encourage diversity ? what does a more inclusive games industry look like ? each maker reflects on the sometimes challenging journey they’ve made in this male - dominated industry , revealing the human stories behind their games .

background : the made for television movie ,
code breakers ,
was based upon the book a return to glory . the documentary ,
faces of sports : brave old army team ,
contrary to prior statements , wasn ' t based upon the book but was researched and produced entirely separate and apart from the television movie , although late in the documentary production process i gave the production company a copy of the book .
the film was written by graham moore and is to be directed by the norwegian morten tyldum whose last production was the violent thriller headhunters , and produced by teddy schwarzmann .
mr schwarzmann said the film was a drama , not a piece of entertainment and added while they do not want to invent events , there are some ' creative liberties ' .
in june 1954 , he decided to imitate his favourite film , walt disney’s snow white - which he had watched seven times - and fatally bit into an apple coated with cyanide .

nearly a third of the imitation game takes place at the decryption facility at bletchley park , where turing , joan clarke ( keira knightly ) , and their fellow code - breakers worked tirelessly to decipher the german military ' s enigma code . most of the scenes set at bletchley were shot on soundstages—and surprisingly , the ones that weren ' t were the ones filmed at the bar where turing and his colleagues drank and socialized .
the beer hut was one of the most difficult locations , we struggled with that . and that ' s the one we ended up shooting in bletchley park ,
says production designer maria djurkovic .
we felt it was right to shoot something there .

but a new american funded film about his life has been lambasted for exaggerating a love affair with a woman , played by keira knightley , and making a fictional connection to a notorious spy . turing was a well known homosexual .
o as portrayed in the movie , evidence strongly suggests football head coach earl h .
red
blaik , usma class of 1920 , was completely blind - sided by the cheating ring , which had found root on his nationally - ranked , much - admired football team , and the film accurately portrays him as stunned by his team ' s and his son ' s revelations to him , although the disclosures portrayed in the film didn ' t occur as shown .
t is implied in the film that menzies knew exactly what the spy john cairncross was up to at station x . an intelligent , spiky man , cairncross was described by his colleagues at bletchley park as
a bit of a loner
.
this is a documentary about unsung heroes of world war ii . in 1943 , a 24 - year - old maths student and a gpo engineer combined to hack into hitler ' s personal super - code machine - not enigma . . . see full summary »
o the film goes into considerable depth telling of the relationship between blaik and his son , which was only briefly and superficially covered in the book the producers didn ' t disclose whether or not they used other sources to delve into the relationship on screen .
some of them saw a clip from wakolda ( the german doctor ) on tv recently and really wanted to watch it . so i thought i’d take a chance , not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped .
when good ( played by james northcote in the film ) mentioned his discovery to turing , the genius felt embarrassed , and said ,
i could have sworn that i tried that already .
it quickly became an important part of the banburismus procedure .
while the group is trying to decipher the daily enigma code , the wall clock strikes midnight setting off an alarm . in frustration , hugh throws all of the days work to the floor because the german military change the enigma code daily at midnight ( german time ) rendering the work useless . however , the work done could be completed ( as was often done ) in the early hours of the morning or at a later date - the information would not be as timely , but the intercepts and any work would be saved , not discarded .
hroughout the war , cairncross passed documents through secret channels to his kgb handlers , who gave him the code name liszt , because of his love of music . he smuggled the decrypts out of the hut in his trousers , transferring them to his bag at the railway station .
everyone has heard of turing now , and rightly so , but , as this film reminds us , he was part of an extraordinary team , some brilliant , others unprofessional , one treacherous . so who were they ? well , the second most important person at bletchley was hugh alexander .

we never wanted to see him commit suicide on screen ,
moore says .
this film was about paying attention to alan turing ' s tremendous life and his amazing accomplishments . it felt to us more ethical and more responsible to focus on his life and his accomplishments than the nitty - gritty of his suicide .
oprah winfrey , viola davis , octavia spencer and taraji p . henson are said to be all on the producer’s short list of actresses for starring roles in the film – the usual suspects ; although , quite frankly , i wouldn’t mind if an entirely unexpected group of black actresses were cast in this . give some fresh faces the opportunity . surprise me !
o nolan ' s roommate in the film , george holbrook , is portrayed as the wavering , eventually errant football player from a broken home , who had lived with his grandmother , and had nothing else in his life but west point and football . holbrook was in fact a fictitious character who represented a combination of several men in real life who participated in the cheating ring .
since so much of turing ' s work with british intelligence and mi6 was kept secret , moore went hunting for details about what turing did and what influence he had in the organization—with some surprising results .
the best evidence we have as to alan turing ' s work with mi6 after they ' d broken the code actually comes from the diary of ian fleming , which is so bizarre ,
moore says .
author margot lee shetterly ’s book , “hidden figures , ” which actually won’t be published until next year , via harpercollins , has been optioned for ted melfi to direct ( he’s the director of last year’s acclaimed dramedy “st . vincent , ” which starred bill murray , melissa mccarthy , and naomi watts . terrence howard played a supporting role in the film , which was melfi’s feature directorial debut ) .
nd so we come to our final unsung bletchley hero . jack good was a slender , good - humoured , bushy - moustached mathematician ( cambridge ) who worked closely with turing in hut 8 and was prone to having catnaps on the floor of the hut , especially after a long shift . this was just as well because he broke one vital code in his sleep , with the solution coming to him in a dream .
o contrary to the film ' s portrayal , no member of the football team was on the cadet honor committee . however , in point of fact two cadets who were among 25 cadet academic tutors for the football team were found guilty of cheating , and one of the two was found guilty of
false swearing ,
that is , lying under oath then later recanting previous testimony - twice falsely given .
first was the need to evenhandedly portray an important , unprecedented , complex , and potentially controversial event in history in just 90 minutes of screen time , not an easy task . second , because the real story was truly complex and potentially confusing to audiences unfamiliar with the military academy , its mission , methods of education and training , honor code and system , and intercollegiate athletic programs , the story had to be simplified while retaining both its integrity and dramatic impact . third , the producer made an extraordinary effort to recreate the era , make the film a
period piece ,
in which the events occurred , which required a great deal of detailed effort during a compressed filming schedule . fourth , holding to people and events just exactly as history was , would have resulted in a much larger cast , and an unacceptably large increase in budget .
i liked this urltoken ' s a movie about football , but it ' s much more than urltoken ' s really about honor , truth , and loyalty . it is set in 1950 , and chronicles the
army
- the west point football team . west point is the very esteemed military urltoken the movie begins ,
army is coming off of 27 consecutive wins and hope to win the championship once again . along the way , many on the team will go through some trials that will test their morality and pledge to uphold the principle of honor at any cost . the backdrop to the story is the korean war . i like the fact the the story has some depth to it . the very fine performances go along way in anchoring the story . scott glenn gives a nice understated , quietly intense performance as one of of the coaches . even though this is a morality tale , it doesn ' t hit you over the head , or preach to you . all in all a pretty good movie . for me
code breakers
is an 8 / 10
of course , cheating violates the military’s honor code , creating a moral dilemma for several of these young officers in training , among them blaik’s son bob ( corey sevier ) , both a gridiron star and a top student ; and roommates holbrook ( jeff roop ) and nolan ( zachery bryan ) . when one of them chooses to report the malfeasance , it threatens to rock the institution and trigger the dishonorable discharge of the co - conspirators .
is the first to feature the work of alan turing , the english mathematical genius and pioneer of artificial intelligence . the movie focuses on turing ' s attempts to break the secret of enigma while at the same time trying to conceal the secret of his sexual identity . however , the imitation game is very misleading - or downright inaccurate - about several key issues . turing and the team at bletchley was not the first to break the enigma code ;
o contrary to what coach blaik was told by several men on his football team , and he accepted at face value as the truth , then in fact and in the film repeated to the media in his 9 august 1951 press conference at mama leone ' s restaurant in new york city , not one single cadet was discharged because he
only knew about the cheating , and didn ' t cheat
or solely because he
told the truth .
the coach couldn ' t accept or believe the men who cheated hadn ' t told him the whole truth about their involvement , and under existing rules of evidence and the articles of war ( which were in transition to the uniform code of military justice at that time ) he could neither testify before the board because all his evidence would have been
hearsay ,
nor could he be given access to the board record .
after the war , good became a professor and worked as a consultant to stanley kubrick on the 1968 film 2001 : a space odyssey . he never guessed turing ' s sexual orientation in all the time they worked together , and neither did the bletchley park authorities .
otherwise ,
as good noted matter - of - factly ,
turing may have been driven to kill himself earlier , and we might have lost the war .
the one lament that i’m sure many of you will have is that this isn’t being made by black filmmakers ( the producer is white , as is the writer and the director ) . what more can i say that hasn’t already been said on that subject ? so it goes… let’s just hope that the film is true to author margot lee shetterly’s words , as well as the * forgotten * women she writes about in her book , and history .
this turned out not to be the case . after a period of clerical work with
the girls
, her mathematical gifts led to her becoming the only woman among a team of nine banburists . and according to her boss , alexander , she was
one of the best banburists in the section
. clarke wasn ' t as glamorous as keira knightley , who plays her in the film , but her character is captured well by the actress .
ironically , perhaps some of the most compelling testimony heard , albeit right at the end of the bartlett board ' s deliberations , from the man who possessed the most credible evidence and relevant institutional memory regarding weakened cadet support for the honor code and system in the years immediately following world war ii , was virtually ignored by the board . the board , by that time , was convinced . they had found both the underlying and proximate causes for the cheating incident of 1951 . overemphasis on ( winning ) football .
used complicated sets of rotors , to change the letters or combinations of letters in a message or document into what seemed to be randomly selected substitutes . the rotors produced billions of possible combinations for the original message . a recipient with another enigma machine used a key to unlock the code . during the 1920s and 1930s the german military transformed this commercial encoding device into an incredibly sophisticated encoding system to transmit top - secret orders and messages to german military units on land and sea . however , the germans were unaware that
this is a documentary about unsung heroes of world war ii . in 1943 , a 24 - year - old maths student and a gpo engineer combined to hack into hitler ' s personal super - code machine - not enigma but an even tougher system , which he called his ' secrets writer ' . their break turned the battle of kursk , powered the d - day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in europe . but it was also to be used during the cold war - which meant both men ' s achievements were hushed up and never officially recognized .
o in the film , brian nolan is portrayed as the only cadet involved in disclosing the existence of the cheating ring , reported his football player roommate , and then
following colonel harkins ' order to ' go under cover ' , joins the ring to verify the existence of the ring and obtain hard evidence against those found participating in cheating .
there was in fact a second cadet in company h - 2 , who was on the swimming team with nolan , and volunteered to join in the undercover investigation for the commandant , colonel paul d . harkins .
o as portrayed in the film , a number of cadets found guilty of cheating , did lie under oath the first time they appeared before the collins board , though the movie didn ' t say how many lied . the official investigation by a board of three army lieutenant colonels from the west point class of 1938 , all world war ii veterans , found 22 cadets lied under oath in their first appearance to give sworn testimony to the board , which later took the name of its president , ltc arthur s . collins , jr . some of the men found guilty repeatedly lied .
there they broke , and broke again , the german code named
enigma ,
which was thought to be unbreakable , and was used by the nazis to direct their submarine convoys in the north atlantic . enigma was decoded with the help of a machine , and the british had captured one , but the machine alone was not enough . my notes , scribbled in the dark , indicate the machine had 4 , 000 million trillion different positions - - a whole lot , anyway - - and the mathematicians and cryptologists at bletchley used educated guesses and primitive early computers to try to penetrate a message to the point where it could be tested on enigma .
during wwii , men and women working at bletchley park played a vital role , breaking the codes used by the german military . nine years later , former codebreaker susan is a housewife and mother , but she continues to recognize patterns that surround her in everyday life . when a series of women are brutally murdered around london , susan sees a pattern emerging . however , when a police - search for what susan believes to be an overlooked victim turns up nothing , she realizes she cannot solve this puzzle alone . enlisting three former bletchley park colleagues : millie , lucy , and jean ; susan knows they have little time to break this code before the killer strikes again .
nock ( rory kinnear ) , the officer who questions turing in the film , isn ' t entirely real . rather , moore says , he ' s meant to symbolize
the institutionalized homophobia of the day , to show that this wasn ' t some raving lunatic who arrested in persecuted alan turing .
and , to protect the cop who did interrogate the computer scientist , moore changed his name .
i made that decision very early on because the real police officer didn ' t die all that long ago and he still has family who are alive and i did not want to implicate the real person in that ,
he says .
kate winslett is impressive as a determined bletchley park team member dedicated to finding out what happened to a missing colleague and to help the object of her affections crack the german naval code . although her character is fictional , in fact women were a vital part of the park ' s work force . most were employed in administrative , transcriptive and secretarial functions , but some , like joan clarke and marion body , worked alongside alan turing and other top decoders . one of the administrative staff was valerie glassborow , the grandmother of kate , duchess of cambridge , who had a tedious job in hut 16 - she and others monitored british listening stations to see that they were sending in regular reports of german radio activity .
o clearly implied but not specifically , factually highlighted in the movie was the fact that third classmen ( sophomores ) involved in cheating in three cadet companies deliberately schemed to elect one of their group as company honor representatives . this occurred in three cadet companies , b - 1 , b - 2 , and k - 1 . the film dialog indicates the honor committee
was stacked ,
or
they ' ve compromised the honor committee .
the elections were in fact successful in two of the three cadet companies , b - 1 and b - 2 , which meant , had they not been found out , the honor committee would have indeed been compromised when the class of 1953 became the senior class .
the goal was to tell alan ' s story fairly and responsibly and accurately ,
moore says .
that meant that we sometimes had to dramatize things—or to take things that happened over a period of months and make them into a scene .
that also meant that multiple people , and the things they did , were condensed into a single person .
for example , the character that is called hugh alexander , who is played by matthew goode , he ' s a character that is half hugh alexander and half gordon welchman , another mathematician on the team ,
he says
we had to sort of use little tricks like that . but every major event in the film did occur .
o in the film , nolan goes to his father for advice on what to do before he reports his football player roommate , then over his father ' s objections reports him to the commandant . in real life , nolan was first asked by the commandant if he would go under cover , and colonel harkins explained why . nolan , who knew the serious implications of the matter , asked for permission to consult with his family , then called his uncle , a lawyer in new york city , and asked him to come to west point to visit . he wanted some advice . after his uncle recommended he accept the commandant ' s request , he then went to colonel harkins and agreed to press ahead with what became a six week undercover investigation .
o the other blatant use of intimidation , which wasn ' t portrayed in the film , involved two of the first few witnesses to appear before the collins board . one of them was the classmate nolan first reported , a member of the academy ' s fencing team . approximately twelve men in the ring called a meeting in a room in company a - 1 ' s first division of barracks , the evening of the first day ' s testimony . they demanded to know what the two men told the board , and also wanted to know what they had been asked during the proceedings , to help them prepare for their testimony - though the collins board had specifically instructed all witnesses not to discuss any aspect of the proceedings with anyone after their testimony .
the significance of the ' enigma machine ' , and the unlocking of its secrets by a team of cryptological and mathematical geniuses at the top secret english location of bletchley park remained unknown and unheralded for many years after the end of the war . in the last couple of decades , the general public has become aware of the crucial role that bletchley park ( and in particular the mathematician alan turing ) played in unravelling germany ' s military secrets and helping win the war . the main target of the bletchley team was not the german ' s original so - called ' enigma ' cipher but the more technologically sophisticated version code - named ' tunny ' by the british . many documentaries have been made about enigma , bletchley park and turing . yet despite the controversial conflicts , issues and personalities surrounding the topic , before 2014 ' s release of
for years computer science circles have hummed with speculation that the bitten - apple logo on mac products was a reference to turing ' s death . it ' s such an interesting tidbit the filmmakers almost mentioned it in the movie .
we debated putting that in text at the end of the film ; that was a lively debate for many months ,
moore says .
the debate was that this was this amazing story that there was this rumor and that steve jobs had publicly denied it many times but other people seemed to think it was true . … we would ' ve loved for it to be true . but we didn ' t have enough evidence to feel comfortable putting that in as text . personally , i think it might be true , but because we couldn ' t prove it , it was ethically tricky .
kate winslet is very good here , plucky , wearing sensible shoes , with the wrong haircut - - and then , seen in the right light , as a little proletarian sex bomb . she moves between dowdy and sexy so easily , it must mystify even her . claire , when she is seen , is portrayed by saffron burrows as the kind of woman any sensible man knows cannot be kept in his net - - which is why she attracts a masochistic romantic like tom jericho , who sets himself up for his own betrayal . if it is true ( and it is ) that
pearl harbor
is the story of how the japanese staged a sneak attack on an american love triangle , at least
enigma
is not about how the nazis devised their code to undermine a british love triangle . that is true not least because the british place puzzle - solving at least on a par with sex , and like to conduct their affairs while on ( not as a substitute for ) duty .

in fact , in real life , neither of nolan ' s two roommates in company k - 1 were football players . the man he actually , eventually reported as pressing him to join
a group of cadets
involved in cheating was in fact a classmate - the member of the fencing team - and lived in another cadet room in nolan ' s company . the fencing team member was also the son of an academy graduate who was a brigadier general in the army ' s occupation forces in germany at the time , whereas in the film nolan is portrayed as the son of an academy graduate , with uncles who were also academy graduates . the real nolan was a recruited swimming team member , whose father wasn ' t career military or a graduate . the two roommates ( classmates ) of the man whom nolan reported were academy intercollegiate athletes . one was on the boxing team , the other a junior varsity football player , and was the football player who threatened nolan and was detained by the fbi .

that determination to win , however , often comes at a price — in this case , an answer - passing system among members of the army team , who , in 1950 , were in the midst of a dominant winning streak . that success fueled an almost messianic zeal , with blaik insisting his charges don’t just represent west point : “we play for the american people . ”
yet as is so frequently true , the brawniest and swiftest on the field aren’t always the brainiest and swiftest in the classroom . so the players began assisting each other in an elaborate scheme , convinced the coaches either know what they’re up to or at least are willing to look the other way .
working from a script by g . ross parker , veteran episodic director rod holcomb brings a starched efficiency to the proceedings , including a particularly well - staged re - enactment of the army - navy game . in many respects , the movie is reminiscent of john sayles’ “eight men out , ” as even players reluctant to participate at first are drawn in by the apparent ease of a perilous situation that , as the younger blaik realizes , “is spreading too wide . ”
both the toronto locations and the fresh - faced cast lend period authenticity to the production , though at times it’s difficult to distinguish one young cadet from another . nevertheless , there are enduring themes here about the courage to resist peer pressure as well as viewing athletes as a privileged group to whom the usual rules don’t apply .
granted , espn’s forays into dramatic fare remain a little fuzzy strategically , especially with its drift toward less recognizable topics after more easily marketed ( but less appealing ) biopics of pete rose , dale earnhardt and bobby knight .

seriously love this ! ! screencaps from the love forecast production video . love how they included scenes from the movie and behind the scenes filming and fun cuts , and the interviews in the video . the location shoots really bring such a lovely natural atmosphere to the movie . seunggi and chaewon are seriously killing me , both in the movie scenes and off camera !
structurally , love forecast ( 2015 ) follows when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) example of tying together episodic events instead of a strong narrative driving the plot . there is no central conceit driving the plot .
on a meta - filmmaking level , love forecast ( 2015 ) is meant to lift up a female ingénue and show her off to the world in 60 feet billboards as a star ! in this way , it is similar to there ' s something about mary ( 1998 ) . both movies are designed to have ”out of her league“ male characters surround the female ingénue and help her shine . while the lead of there ' s something about mary ( 1998 ) was ben stiller , it was cameron diaz who stole that movie . with love forecast ( 2015 ) , moon chae - won is cameron diaz . love forecast ( 2015 ) is moon chae - won ’s movie .
five years later , the two will reunite on the silver screen through the romance film “love forecast . ” it portrays the story of a man and a woman falling in love after sharing 18 years of friendship . the two are to depict the realistic sides of romantic relationships and draw empathy from viewers .
however , this character in love forecast ( 2015 ) gets irritating the more you know about him . in other words , he is like the collection of the worst parts of ben stiller , owen wilson , and billy crystal .
actually i prefer chaewon for seunggi than yoona , altough i really like yoona so much , but i think chaewon has chemistry with seunggi . . . . waiting for love forecast , i hope it better korean movie in this year : )

in all intents and purposes , the plot is not the important thing in love forecast ( 2015 ) . it is your typical childhood friends of the opposite gender stuck in the friend zone story with the obvious ending of no longer being in the friend zone .
in the actually story and structure of the movie , love forecast ( 2015 ) is quite similar to when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) . it is a story about two friends of the opposite gender falling in love told via an episodic narrative . also , both are more of a humorous drama or “dramadies” rather the outright comedies .
“moon as a woman has various attractive traits . so far , moon’s characters in her past works often involved her being serious and mature . however , in ‘love forecast , ’ moon will let out different charms that viewers had never seen before , ” he said .

if you’re like me , you’ve seen more than your fair share of rom - coms . you know , those movies with a pretty girl and a handsome guy who fall in love over a set of wacky circumstances . they travel through highs and lows together , and you with them . “love forecast” fits into that category and snuggles right in with the best of its comrades .

coal ' s forecast generation share rises from 30 percent last year to 31percent in 2017 . the projected generation shares for natural gas and coal in 2018 average 31 percent and 32 percent , respectively .
as a result , the equal weight put on the two leads does not match with the perspective of the movie . this would have been less of a problem if love forecast ( 2015 ) took the approach taken by when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) and kept the characters together in scenes as much as humanly possible . and , during its first act , love forecast ( 2015 ) does this as moon chae - won and lee seung - gi just hang around doing normal - ish stuff . as a result , the first act is the best part of the movie .
calling all lee seung gi fans ! this week we have a special dramafever movie night just for you . his new movie love forecast , costarring moon chae won , is now playing , and this is one heartfelt romantic comedy you won ' t want to miss . let ' s take a look !

never gets that obnoxious . joon - soo ( played by lee seung - gi ) and hyeon - woo ( played by moon chae - won ) are without a doubt friends . they ' re the ones who have to help each other out emotionally when their actual romantic relationships implode . the main irony
love forecast
goes over is the question of why they ' re only just friends , when they clearly have better long - term toleration for each other than their actual so - called serious partners , . . .

today among stiff competition , love forecast ( 2015 ) starring moon chae - won and lee seung - gi opened this week . and you can describe a lot of this movie using two hollywood movies of the last century as reference : when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) and there ' s something about mary ( 1998 ) .
with love forecast ( 2015 ) , the movie is not sure what question it is asking . it is not “ whether the lack of courage and communication is hindering my relationship ” . many romcoms asked this question . moon chae - won knows about his feeling and is just stringing him along basically as a gay best friend or a brother .
lee seung gi will romance moon chae won in an upcoming film that has been described as a realistic love story .

before i end this long review , let’s talk about the chauvinism of this movie . for a movie about movie about 20 somethings , love forecast ( 2015 ) does not actually have any sex in it . it actually tiptoes around it . the movie even has a scene where it seems like lee seung - gi is having sex but it is just a trick and he is doing something totally innocent .

today ' s love
and
woman of three men
,
she who is loved by three men
( se nam - ja - eui geun - yeo , 세 남자의 그녀 ) synopsis like today ' s weather , this movie paints a romance of the delicate relationship between a man and a woman , . . .
what i am trying to say is that i know the romantic comedy genre of which love forecast ( 2015 ) falls into . it is said that romantic comedies are formulaic but this could also be interpreted as being concise . romantic comedies have a simple question in the form of an obstacle to ask in the movie . in the case of when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) , it was “ whether or not men and females could be friends . ”
i am looking forward to watching this movie . it is the first movie of jung joon young ~ i love jung joon young ~ cute and handsome . .
an appropriate ongoing metaphor , hyun woo’s weather reports are the indicators of emotions and situations to come upon our hero and heroine . when the going gets tough , hail pelts the kind - hearted but downtrodden joon soo . when the friends commiserate over broken hearts , it pours outside while they drown their sorrows in drinks ( she soju , he soda . ) weather has always been an indicator of emotion in film and television and to use it much more purposefully in “love forecast” is quite clever indeed .
it’s a great time to be an lee seung gi fan , soompiers . tap into your dose of cute , sweet , and romantic fun with director / writer park jin pyo’s 2015 rom - com “ love forecast , ” which stars lee seung gi and his “ shining inheritance ” co - star moon chae won . puppy dog lee seung gi doesn’t disappoint as a devoted young man in love and makes us more than anxious for his october return from the military . luckily , you can watch this film multiple times on viki if you’re missing him . i know i will . let’s check out five reasons why this movie needs to be on your watch list .
jung joon young ' s rep likewise stated ,
jung joon young will be taking on the challenge of a movie through ' today ' s love . '
from may 10 , 2017 to early november 2018 , weddings and other formal cultural or legal expressions of love will be difficult to attain . at the same time , light , friendly love will succeed with almost unexpected ease . marriage — i . e . , living together — will fill your heart with joy . but if you want that actual wedding ring , wed before may 10 ( not that likely ) or remain in love but wait until december 2018 onward to try on the ring .
“love forecast” delivers on all the juicy goodness that is requisite of a film . it isn’t meant to be a think piece , but a movie that carries you along for a satisfying emotional journey . lee seung gi is adorably charming as joon soo , who struggles to find a love that will accept him as he is , a kind - hearted man who wants to do right by his woman . moon chae won is winning as the free - spirited hyun woo , who , like joon soo , needs someone who accepts both her beauty and poise along with her potty mouth and raucous drinking habits . seeing these two very compatible opposites together is a delight that should not be missed .
lee seung - gi and moon chae - won smile at a press junket for their new film

i think it’s perfect for a date night . but it’s also a good movie for a girls’ night out . it’s a movie not just about love , but about friendship .
good luck
today ' s love
. . i hope for box office success . . good luck moon chae won , you ' re a very good actress . .
before mid - may , don’t bother looking for love in clubs , social groups or similar situations . instead , aim straight for deep romance and infatuation with one sweet person .
the great chemistry between lee seung - gi and moon chae - won of the movie ,

omg ! first comment ! i hope that they will film soon . seung gi and chae won love team was cut short in bl but thankfully they are reunited here : ) )
according to a movie industry official on august 1 , lizzy has confirmed her casting in the movie “today’s love , ” and recently joined the rest of the cast and crew on set .
this is one the best love / marriage years of this early century ( for you ) . don’t waste it ! ( best way to waste it ? be erratic , unpredictable . )

the forecast for the reboot has only gotten scarier from there — at least domestically . one of the industry’s most respected polling services , nrg , downgraded its projection to $ 38 million last week and to $ 35 million on monday . such surveys can certainly be unreliable , but if nrg is correct , the mummy will lose this weekend’s domestic box - office race to holdover wonder woman .
a love story that can be seen in everyday life seemed interesting and it ' s a genre i personally prefer so i ' m anticipating it ,
he told the korea herald .
omg . . . i cnt wait ! ! ! ! i watched brilliant legacy last year n it was good . i really love moon chae won ' s acting . she is the best
for a 2 hour movie , love forecast ( 2015 ) feels long because of this extended 2 nd act . you could cut out 20 minutes of this movie in the 2 nd act without much problem . the more serious problem is with lee seung - gi and his character . lee seung - gi is not a bad comedy actor for what he does . this is his first starring movie role but he has done korean dramas including the king 2 hearts ( 2012 ) with super star ha ji - won who actually has a movie opening on the same day as this one .
the upcoming romance film portrays a story of a man and a woman falling in love after18 years of friendship . lee and moon plays the couple , depicting the realistic sides of a romantic relationships .
woo daebak ! ! ! can ' t wait for this movie . . so love the characters < 3 < 3 < 3 lee seung - gi & moon chae - won ! ! ! !
when joon - soo ( lee seung - gi ) falls in love he tries to give everything to the girl . even though he does all of that , he is the one that get dumped .
an elegant weather reporter on tv and a foul - mouthed boozer off , hyun - woo juggles three relationships with three men of different personalities . this is the
love story
of her life .
lizzy will be playing the bright and cheery min ah while jung joon young will play a character with a one - sided love regarding moon chae won , who plays the lead along with lee seung gi .
lee plays kang joon - soo , a sweet , unassuming elementary school teacher in love with his vivacious weather forecaster friend of 18 years , kim hyun - woo , played by actress moon chae - won .
lee seung gi has previously said he is very fond of acting in romantic comedies and the bigger the challenges a fictional couple faces , the better . the realism of this particular love story appealed to him .
local documentary sensation , “my love don’t cross that river” narrowly remains on the top 10 chart and now stands on a cumulative gross of $ 34 . 3 million since its release on 27 november last year .
moon chae won and lee seung gi had great chemistry back in 2009’s “ shining inheritance , ” even though they weren’t the main couple . that chemistry is reignited in “love forecast . ” it is the heart of the intrigue that centers around friends who turn into lovers . the two are charming as hyun woo and joon soo , who , for most of the movie , fight , drink , play , cry , whine , curse , and complain together — things you can only do with the closest of friends . an air of complete ease and comfort lingers around them , making them easy to watch and even easier to root for .
the new film “ today’s love ” has confirmed “ brilliant legacy ” co - stars lee seung gi and moon chae won as the two leads , and will head into filming at the end of this month .
hyun - woo is sent to seoul ( from jeju - do ) for education at a young age , and lives with the family of her mum’s friend . that’s where joon - soo and hyun - woo met ; and for the shy joon - soo , it’s love at first sight . young joon - soo picks up his courage to confess his love for hyun - woo in elementary school , but she rejects him then and there .
your charisma shines in june and july , but it doesn’t do a lot for love . you might start an affair with someone pleasant , polite and “hot , ” but if your intellect is not engaged , neither will you be months down the road . august to early october continues your romantic good fortune , but also raises friction in the home . sweet feelings arise october / november , and for some geminism will bring a deeply emotional love .
2017 is more friendly than purely romantic , but among the casual acquaintances you make this year , at least two could become love affairs . if you are married , this will be a year of family trips and adventures .

you are always ready for love , taurus , especially of the sensual kind . march / april might tempt you into a tawdry or extramarital attraction . your magnetism will be very high , and you could be approached by someone — perhaps an old flame . if someone wanders into your life between april 1 and 20 , or may 17 – 20 , a beautiful love might be possible . even in this one a few minor difficulties , delays or stumbling blocks might occur – don’t let them stop you .
all year , your best romantic prospects will emerge in clubs , politics , groups , and your best romance will be friendly , light , witty , flirtatious . still , even a “friendly romance” flares repeatedly with the heat of attraction , february to june , especially if an aries or gemini is involved . march and april are most intense , yet most indecisive ( perhaps an old flame enters , or a love rendezvous / climax keeps being delayed ) . you might declare , “i’m in love ! ” you might even marry . this spring’s relationship questions will be resolved by may / june — when , again , you might marry / begin cohabiting . june / july get very sexy . august offers gentle , mellow love ( and again the possibility of marriage ) .
frustrating relationships and weird bunny - hopping storylines aside , love isn’t a difficult show to watch . you can chalk it up to lee seung - gi and moon chae - won ‘s easy chemistry around each other , or the warm undertone of the movie itself .
in june / july your sexual magnetism surges , especially if you’re male . august / september bring a huge amount of friendly talks , short trips — and a friendly romance might pop up , too . october begins a whole year of splendid good fortune in love .

moon chae won told the korea herald .
i ' m looking forward to showing another side of myself through this film .
it ' s a reunion for the actors who appeared together previously in the 2009 drama

( se nam - ja - eui geun - yeo , 세 남자의 그녀 ) synopsis like today ' s weather , this movie paints a romance of the delicate relationship between a man and a woman . source
someone communicates affectionately in july ; you might also meet someone in a foreign country . august is for friends and flirtations . some of you will only now meet your true mate , probably when you attend a club , group affair , or are introduced by friends . this person has a very sensitive ego , so flatter him / her ( especially about sex or “looks” ) and you’ll earn loyalty and a generous love , right into early september . your charisma and energy soar in october , attracting even more admirers . slowly , now , your luck and thoughts begin to turn to money , not love . still , your sex appeal oozes in november — and an old flame or former friend returns in december .
until may 10 , the best route to happiness for you is to go out , approach others . even if you’re rejected , you’ll feel elated afterward ( mainly , because you had the courage to try ) . and not everyone will reject . from october into 2018 , a much more simple and true love is available ; and a wedding is very possible .
a major wish — perhaps two — will come true this year , sage . if one of those wishes is to find love , 2017 is very likely to fulfill it . one of the biggest problems in your life is the struggle to be decisive , to accept things as they are , and to know when you have a winner . often , these struggles are easily solved : you will almost always succeed if you do what you are most enthusiastic about , rather than following advice or doing the wise , boring thing . ( most sages would rather be cowboys than accountants . ) this especially applies to love this year . if you doubt someone , or suspect that your ardour is slightly less than you’d anticipated , don’t be afraid to cancel and move on .
your deepest love in 2017 might be for your children , as your home glows with new warmth , cheerfulness and affection . i didn’t include your mate , because many of you are caught between loving and rejecting your spouse — this trend , a long one ( 2008 - 24 ) will eventually cause your love and partnership to grow deeper and deeper , into new levels of feeling and knowing ; or you will eventually pull apart , like taffy . but in 2017 , you can easily make your home a place of happiness and optimism . you can strengthen your marriage by buying or renting a better home . from october onward ( deep into 2018 ) romance , charming kids and adventure draw the family together — plan a unique vacation , a family cruise or international voyage .
when joon - soo ( lee seung - gi ) falls in love he tries to give everything to the girl . even though he does all of that , he is the one that get dumped . hyun - woo ( moon chae - won ) works as a weathercaster . unlike her beautiful appearance , she acts excessively and talks in a tough manner . a romance blooms between these two people .
whenever elementary school teacher kang joon - soo ( lee seung - gi ) falls in love , he always gives too much of himself to the relationship . yet despite that , he ends up being the one getting dumped by his girlfriends . joon - soo has been friends for 18 years with kim hyun - woo ( moon chae - won ) , a weather forecaster whose beauty belies her witty tongue and aggressive manner .
still , you have a heart , and romance won’t be denied . your home is filled with sweet and sour emotions in february , tipping deeply to the affectionate side in march . you might be struggling with domestic matters all spring . this could signal some family opposition to your amour , especially if you’re young or a single parent . but march to may contains many compelling romantic openings — step in . much indecision hovers , but it will clear by may — and june or july could bring an avowal of love , even marriage . careful in august , when your sexual desires run hot . be ethical and ( health - wise ) self - protective . an old flame might re - appear . august through october raises many hints about wedding , or involvement with a foreign - born person . you might find love in school or transportation venues .
today ' s love
of lee seung - gi and moon chae - won is drawing expectations from the movie fans , as it will be the only romantic comedy movie this winter . lee seung - gi plays joon - soo , who is a right - minded and hardworking elementary school teacher , but is shy and inexperienced with women , thus has never been on a real date with a woman , . . .
you’re in the middle of a phase ( 2008 - 2024 ) that will bring you true love , scorpio . but for the past year , and continuing to may 10 , you’ll succeed best in romance if you aim for light , friendly amour , and give deep , intense infatuation a wide berth . after may , the pendulum swings to favour deep , world - well - lost romance once again — for seven more years .
jung joon yeong . . . ! i really love him ♥ he is a great singer to me and . . i hope he will be a great actor with this opportunity . . i hope that people from america feel attraction to joonyeong . please understand my grammar . . i am not good at english . he is so handsome , cute , cool , and lovely . i will expect join yeong ' s playing . . !
raine0211 is a lover of all things korean , especially k - pop , k - drama , and korean food . when she’s not writing for soompi , she’s playing the cello and singing . she happily indulges in all kinds of k - pop , but her biases are shinee , infinite , and vixx . she lives with her sister , her roommate elsa , and her two cats , timmy and momo , all of whom also love k - pop and k - drama .
this record surpassed opening - day scores of other successful romance movies , including introduction to architecture ( 4 . 11 million viewers total , 66 , 580 on opening day ) , all about my wife ( 4 . 59 million viewers total , 87 , 798 on opening day ) , and my love my bride ( 2 . 13 million viewers total , 88 , 406 on opening day ) , and is expected to be able to write new box office history of romance movies .
i watched this in hopes for some feel good , but in the end the female lead character is somebody extremely selfish and in that respect not so reliable , her suffering is a little banal , to be honest - being in love with an older married man , who is also a colleague . . . the male lead - his suffering is also a little banal . this was quite a disappointment , although i feel like the actors were trying quite hard to make it believable .
so excited for this movie ! ! ! if can only go to korea to see the premier night , i wll . but then i am from the phils . an i am an ardent fan of moon chae won . i love both of them . . . they have an awesome chemistry . i think lee seung gi and moon chae won both are a versatile actors , and will compliment each other ' s acting . . . i wish them the best for this movie !
omg ! ! ! just seeing the names of these 2 together makes my heart fluttered < 3 hwan - seung mi reunited again ! ! ! love them together and hope they end up together this time . . . and i ' m sure they have greeeaaat chemistry : ) hwanmi / chaegi / seungwon / joonhyun ( or watever you call lol ) fighting ! ! ! and my ultimate bias lee seung gi oppa fighting ! ! ! < 3 < 3 saranghaeee < 3 < 3

director : park jin - pyo genre : romance , comedy cast : lee seung - gi , moon chae - won , lee seo - jin , jung joon - young release date : january 15th , 2015 an elegant weather reporter on tv and a foul - mouthed boozer off , hyun - woo juggles three relationships with three men : the devoted jun - su , the awkward and dull hyo - bong and perfect , married dong - jin . this is the “love story” of her life .
2017 will be — already is — one of your luckiest years this decade . your optimism , cheer , friendliness , and your lively mind will attract both friends and “friendly lovers . ” you’ll do even better on the mating game if you exercise . if you’re hankering for a deep , full - surrender love , you’d better find it before may 10 . that day starts an 18 - month period in which light , social romance will thrive , but heavy , intense infatuation will meet delays , indecision and dead - ends .
in march / april you might be attracted to a “power figure , ” such as a boss or vip . this probably won’t go far , after a lot of thrilling indecision . an old flame might appear in april . all spring , your workplace might turn more social , creating romantic openings ; or , you might turn your social skills toward climbing the career ladder . may is very social , and very complicated . there are three “opportunities” — a verboten temptation , an affair with the boss , or a light , social love affair .
both of these kinds of romance can lead directly to marriage this year , but only the light kind will thrive after may . earlier , february through may bring frequent and sometimes intense marriage / co - habitation urges , both by you and the one you’re pursuing . march / april inject a note of confusion and indecision , perhaps because an old flame — or a new suitor — enter . everything clears by may : you know who you want , and you might even formalize everything with a wedding . june continues this love / wedding theme .
