One Day Movie Illustration Sticker

"Whatever happens tomorrow, we have today. And if we happen to meet again, that would be great—we'll be friends." *One Day* is a romantic drama film directed by Danish director Lone Scherfig in 2011, adapted from David Nicholls' novel of the same name. The film depicts Emma and Dexter meeting on the night after their graduation ceremony, agreeing to be friends. Through this one day, July 15th, each year, the film recounts their thoughts and experiences as they age. Spanning from their graduation in 1988 to 2006, their relationship is not just one of ambiguous, intimate romance, but also of the bonds and support found while navigating society and searching for oneself. More than just a love story, I appreciate the film's interpretation of time. Through each year's "one day," it illustrates the post-graduation confusion, the helplessness felt towards reality, or the fear that holds one back from pursuing their dreams. Even when change brings pain, the future remains uncertain. St. Swithin's Day has passed without rain for several years; time changes many things. For instance, age limits our dreams, family members grow old, and anxiety arises from the transition of romantic relationships to other roles. The film's temporal structure allows us to experience the power of time, like a flip-book.
