Two Lights: Relumino (2017)

Never ever take anything in life for granted!

I remember checking the MDL page of Wonderful World and in the next few minutes I don’t remember how I ended up here but I’m more than happy I did.

Two Lights: Relúmĭno is a beautiful beautiful short film of visually impaired people. I wouldn’t have believed this is an advertisement of Samsung’s technology if they themselves didn’t upload this in their Samsung Electronics YT channel.

The story is really heartwarming. Most of us tend to pity people with impairments and don’t immediately think that they might’ve made peace with that fact and are living life with or without the help of other people. I loved how this showed what they go through, how they pursue their hobbies and how the technology help them. That ‘dreams’ part made me sob. We really do take life and all the things in it for granted. We don’t really appreciate it unless and until something happens. The story really made me learn many things, made me question myself, made me look through things in different perspectives, made me change my opinions and made me appreciate life a little more. We don’t know what we’ve in this second will surely be there in the next. Happiness do lie in little things and beauty does lie in the heart.

All the artists did a great job. Loved Park Hyung Sik and Han Ji Min’s chemistry. Would love to see them together again in a 16-ep drama. Music is good too.

Low rewatch value because I want to remember the feelings I felt watching this for the very first time.

It's a 30-minute movie on YouTube

I happened upon this gem quite by accident. I almost don't know what to say. Start with the fact that Park Hyung Sik is in it, need I say more? But that's not the point (well, not totally).

This film was quiet, slow and calm. It was beautifully filmed in blues and grays with filtered and hazy camera work. Close up camera work made me feel like I was in the world of the visually impaired. We only got a token look at a couple of the characters because of the time constraints, but this film demonstrated the difference between assisting those with disabilities and pitying them.

I loved seeing all the classmates interact with one another. I appreciated those that are willing, able and have the heart to work with the disabled. Also, the hidden heartbreak - pay special attention to when the middle schooler is taking a picture of his mom - her face just brought me to tears.

I was tempted to rate it a little lower because it WAS so short, but then thought that they probably would have made it too long anyway, with too much filler, and all the magic would be lost.

This is one I will definitely be revisiting.

i am sorry but where is the story ???
this is very shallow to be a movie or even mini movie

if you want me to feel the anguish of blind people, you didn't even gave me the space to do that

and what that stupid love story... WHEN, HOW AND WHERE did they have the space or time to love each other
this was too annoying to call it romance

SURPRISE.... even if they are going to fall in love from first sight it can't be -_-
and they didn't even have time according to the very few situations between them
so this is totally illogical

and the ML wasn't nice at all i saw him aggressive except at the end

this is definitely a pure advertise for samsung electronics only
