Happy 18th birthday, Kris.
My takeaway from this film is that birthdays are checkpoints of where you are in life: loneliness, modern dating, and capitalism for Min-jeong. Birthdays are no exception to these mundanities of adulthood.
I expected this long-anticipated night to be life-changing, but as soon as the clock struck to midnight, nothing happened. I looked the same, thought the same, did the same, and felt the same as one second ago. I am in my childhood bedroom for vacation sipping a cup of Milo, watching this sentimental film as the heavy tropical rains of July flood the streets outside. I’m searching for a bottle of wine in my kitchen to mark my rite of passage. I’m receiving some notifications from a friend who has been doing my countdowns since we met 4 birthdays ago. Everyone in my family is fast asleep. My surroundings sit still. The world doesn’t revolve around some random child who legally becomes an adult. I’m not entitled to everyone’s attention. I can imagine that so many things are happening right now. People are getting married like Min-jeong’s sister, people are being born, people are dying, and people are growing up.
Once Min-jeong reframes her perspective, she eventually learns to be okay with it. It’s our expectations that deter us from contentment after all. I’ve cried in my last few birthdays because of the immense pressure to be happy. Min-jeong looks for it everywhere, but she misses one place. A stranger symbolizes the simplicity of life. The children playing in the park on your way to work, the waiter greeting you as soon as you walk in the restaurant, or the cashier giving you a compliment in the convenience store—they all make life worth living.
Birthdays don’t have to be extraordinary.
We can make them special just by celebrating the ordinary.
