Cute!
Inspirational and Beautiful
I'm going to note my own favourite parts or anything that stood out:
-At the beginning each member has their own interview. We get to see more of each of them.
-I love Rosie's Australian accent so much.
-Jisoo gets her makeup done at a shop and asks if she lost her baby fat. The makeup artist says she did and Jisoo says she should eat ramen tonight. She wants to keep that youthful baby look.
-Their predebut videos...I've seen them on YouTube and it gives us a glimpse of them before BLACKPINK, when they were children.
-Their outfits, particularly the ones in the YG predebut dance practice videos and Coachella looks TOO PERFECT - their bodies look so sexy
-Jennie working out and explaining she gets sick easily was insightful.
-Jisoo's hair in this one clip where they had a rehearsal looked perfect - so much volume.
-Teddy Park looks so cool. He is this cute guy who was a K-pop member. He now produces every song of BLACKPINK's. So talented. He wears a mask in the film.
-Lisa speaking Thai sounds just so cool.
-Jisoo says it is hard because when they aren't working she feels she should be. When she is her body needs to rest.
-It feels like they are being chased - what should we do now after finishing something.
-Coachella was perfection. Lisa tells the audience she thinks she will remember this moment for the rest of her life.
The girls talk about the reality of being idols. At their last stop on their tour Rosie says she knows they only see what is on stage and not so much of behind the scenes. She tears up and Jisoo dabs all their tears away.
These four girls are such good role models. Lisa talks about her concerns about being a good enough role model - she reminisces the first time she went back to Thailand and everyone wants to be her. All the members are so kind...you can see it in their eyes and facial expressions.
Another thing I can take away as well is to HAVE FUN with what you are doing. I want to try this with everything I do.
One of the members says even if they grow old and get replaced by a younger generation, if ppl remember them and how brightly they shone, that is all that matters. They sit at a restaurant together at the end and talk about what life in their forties will be like. Married definitely, kids maybe. Or Rosie says they can marry later in life.
If you don't know ... well now you do know
I have to admit, I was blissfully unaware of this group for a long time. I only heard about them in early 2020, when they came to US shows and a friend of mine told me he was a massive friend of them. He generally likes many things from Asia (no pun intended) - and I totally get it.
Now you get to see how this group was formed .. and how many years it took to get them to where they are now! Reminds me of the stories of the boy and girl bands of the past. These girls/women seem to genuinely like each other. It's not always easy to make that observation or be absolutely sure about it. The road to success can be quite draining ... and hopefully you get lucky to meet up with the right people along the way. Very intriguing story not just for fans of the group, though obviously they are the main focus here ... and you get a lot of the group and its individual members ... how they think, how they feel and what they look forward to ...
