Best of Times (2009)


Some people spend most of their lives trying to forget their first love, but some spend a lifetime reminiscing about their last love. Since men are not goldfish, they don’t easily forget their past loves, it’s just that sometimes it hurts too much to want to remember. Nevertheless, everlasting love is always worth fighting for. Best of Times, a romantic story involving two couples show how even the briefest of encounters with true love can leave you with the most memorable lifelong memories.

Director : Yongyoot Thongkongtoon
Genre : Drama | Romance
Runtime : 117 min
Cast : Arak Amornsupasiri, Yarinda Bunnark, Sansanee Wattanakul, Yarinda Bunnag, Krissana Sreadthatamrong, Sunsanee Wattananukul

Love the humour and the beautiful real life representation. This movie goes to my list of one of the best.
When the old man offers the fruit in return for her hand (as a ring), she says it is the tastiest fruit she ever tased. This tree symbolises life and hope. When he rubs it on his heart, although a fruit is ephemeral, she eats it and keeps it in her heart forever. In comparison of today, the ring is permanent but not as strong as his love.
The casting is done well. The corny, childish ironic relationship of the old couple is hilarious, sad and sweet ^^
And when the old man throws his ball to the other people's side, that young dude's distorted mouth cracks me up XD

"Things we want to remember, we forget. Things we want to forget, we remember."
