Love stories in the "grandparents'" era become creative inspiration

The combination of music and cinema in recreating love stories of the “grandparents’” era is attracting the attention of young people. They not only recreate deep emotional values ​​but also help the young generation re-evaluate love and relationships in modern society.

The attraction of nostalgic love stories

It is not difficult to see that the biggest reason why many music and film projects today choose to exploit the love story of "grandparents" is the attraction of simple but lasting love. In the modern world - where relationships can be challenged by the hustle and bustle of life, busy work or even by... technology, the love stories of grandparents and parents appear as a symbol of patience and loyalty.

Notable among them are the songs “Ong ba anh” (Le Thien Hieu), “Hold me for a long time” (MONO) or the movie “Khi cuoc doi cho ban qua tangerine” (Korea) with a nostalgic feel, but containing a message that fits the psychology of today's young generation.

With “My grandparents”, Le Thien Hieu breathed new life into the world with simple, civilized lyrics: “My grandparents loved each other when there was no television/ My grandparents loved each other when there were no cars/ Grandpa often took my grandmother for a ride on the green Thong Nhat iron horse/ He had a fresh love and my dear, do you understand my heart, I want a love as green as green”.

For the author, the important thing is that this value is not outdated and is even the desire of many young people. Although “You and I loved each other in the time of motorbikes and cars/ You and I loved each other in the time of Facebook and Zalo”. But the “green love” that Le Thien Hieu aims for does not have the unreasonable anger of “not replying to inbox” but only the sincerity of “hurried handwritten letters” and “naive words on the lips”.

MONO's MV "Hug Me So Long" was inspired by a true story. MV cut

Or with “Hold me for a long time”, MONO tells the story of an old man living in endless longing for his deceased wife. For the male singer, this project is not only a normal music product but also a spiritual gift he wants to give to his grandparents - the people who inspired him with their complete and profound love story. Because in MONO's memory, in the last moments of his grandmother's life, all the members of his family were sad, and his grandfather looked up at the sky. After she passed away, he always remembered her.

Or with "When Life Gives You a Tangerine" - a Korean drama that has brought tears to many audiences recently, it is a simple, nostalgic love story between Oh Ae Soon (IU) and Yang Gwan Sik (Park Bo Gum).

In the film, although Ae Soon experiences tragedy after tragedy when her father and mother pass away one after another, and has to take care of her younger siblings and do farm work, she is lucky to always have her “sweet tangerine” Gwan Sik by her side to encourage her, regardless of rain or shine. Until the end, Ae Soon and Gwan Sik are both happy people because they have lived their lives to the fullest, for themselves and for their families. Watching the film, the audience is given strength through moments of healing, has more faith in true love and appreciates what they have.

When art connects past and present

With the current trend of music and movies returning to old values, it shows that young people are not simply looking for something new but always want to retain the simplest, most simple values.

When MONO released the MV “Hold Me for a Long Time”, he not only recreated the love story of his grandparents but also depicted the deep attachment between the two people over the years. Similarly, “When Life Gives You a Tangerine” made viewers feel the purity and sustainability of love through ordinary days, without too many words but just simple actions.

In general, the combination of music and film in exploiting the love story of “grandpa and grandma” somehow brings a quiet space, helping young people find a sense of peace in the midst of a busy life. This shows that music and cinema are not only artistic products but also a bridge to convey messages about lasting love, family affection, and sacrifice that requires nothing.

This is a reminder that not all love needs to be glamorous or ostentatious, but sometimes, the most important thing is patience and loyalty over the years.
