mr-cooljoefeatncf This film offers an intense emotional experience. There are a few flaws, however, in the end, the only thing that ends up mattering is the well being of this child who endured such a horrific fate. But now on to the film making aspect and what makes this movie so effective. To begin with, the acting is great. One thing that stands out about Korean movies to me is the child acting, I've watched 3 Korean films this week with 3 excellent child actress'.First Train To Busan, then The Wailing, and now the best out of the 3, Wish, or Hope, or Su-Won, or whatever. The point is, her acting was fantastic, and so was the rest of the cast. Reading the plot description of the movie makes it sound as though the movie will be depressing, which it obviously is. However, the beauty of humanity shines through more then the horrific tragedy that befell this girl. The way everyone comes together to help her was presented in a powerful way that brought me to tears. This never happened to me during a movie before, but this movie did it, I actually cried. The development of the relationship between Su-Won's parents is believable and engaging. The actress that plays Su-Won is incredibly talented and was the best part of the movie. There are a small amount of minor flaws with the film, but they don't stand in the way of the pure emotional experience this film gives the audience, and because of the movie succeeding on that level, I will not rate it less than a 10. But also the rating I see on IMDb is 8.5, which is too low for this movie, and a 10 rating will help that, so that's what I'm doing. This review may not have been the best, but honestly you should just experience the movie for yourself, it's sitting on Netflix right now.
checil The film is about a 8-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by drunk man in her way to school. This 8-year-old girl was Im Sowon (stared by Lee Re). The other main casts are Sol Kyung Gu as Im Dong Hoon, Sowon's father, and Uhm Ji Won as Kim Mi-Hee, Sowon's mother. This movie was directed by Lee Joon Ik. This movie is based on a true story, the horrific rape in 2008 of an 8-year-old girl called "Na Young" by a drunk 57-years-old man. This movie evoked a lot of controversy whether this movie reopen the old wound of the victim, Nayoung. The story begin when Sowon went to school by her own. In her way to school, she met a shabby looking man asking to share her umbrella with him, since it was raining. But then, shortly, Sowon was dragged by the man into an abandoned building near the school, and was beaten and raped until her intestines spill out. She survived from the assault by calling 119 (emergency call number in Korea).ACTORS & ACTRESS--The characters of this movie was well played by the actors and actress, even the children actors and actress did a great job in bringing the character live. For the example, Han Young Seok (Sowon's classmate) character was well played by Kim Do Yeop. I cried a lot in the scene when Young Seok cried out of guilty because he didn't wait for Sowon on the way to school and he blamed himself in a very sweet and innocent way. I also love the way Sol Kyung Gu brought the character of Im Dong- Hoon (Sowon's father) to live. The way he cried and raged was full of emotion that makes the audience know really well what his character was feeling. He was success fully being a desperate father of a sexually abused child. I just can't help crying when he cried. Overall, the actress and the actors are all excellent.FAMILY THEME--I love the interaction between Sowon and his father, Donghoon. The way he want to protect her daughter very much, and the way he want to cheer up her daughter without scare her were the sweetest thing I found in this movie. (After the incident, Sowon showed a tendency of being uneasy/scared around men, including her father, so her father wore Kokomong, Sowon's favorite cartoon character, costume every time he showed up in front of Sowon).FRIENDSHIP THEME--I like the friendship between Sowon's mother and Youngseok's mother and the friendship between Sowon's father and Youngseok's fathers. The fathers and the mothers have very good relationship, and they are not only friends, they are neighbors and best friends who help each other whenever the other are in difficulties. For example, when Donghoon needed some money and he called Youngseok's father and asked about severance pay that he would get if he left his job, but Youngseok's father knew that his friend needed money, so he was willing to lend him some of his savings. Okay, this is very sweet and heartwarming, and I cried again in this scene. And at last, Youngseok and Sowon became friends. Youngseok promised that he will always keep Sowon safe.In short, this movie is one of the best which could bring us to experience the real problem that the main character had by the great acting of the actors, the splendid story and some touching scene. Sexsual abuse victims may be able to recover from physical injuries, but rarely from those who can recover from their psychic injuries, if not directly handle. The film gives a message that the importance of the parent's role in supervising the child and the importance of educating the child to avoid crime as told in this film.
shavira-iphy my friend recommend this movie to me, she said it was good and from my opinion this movie's good!! one of best movie i guess. i cried a lot while watch this. this is the 2nd time i cried while watching film after miracle in cell no.7 :) i love the plot of this movie! this movie was a heartwarming. if you guys already watch miracle in cell no.7, you should watch this too!
Taylor Fabray The only thing that I want to say is that you should watch this movie. And if you don't watch it, be regret :( I cried a lot, the acting was incredible, totally love the girl. In my thoughts, this may be a movie about father and daughter and I was completely fallen for it! How poor the little girl was, I can't imagine what she had been through! Her acting was very good, I even thought she had really been through that tragedy :'( And her Father was really really a emotional man, not like what I thought he would be at the beginning! He made me think of my Father and I just cried a lot! He won the Blue Dragon Award for The Best Actor! I think he totally deserved it! Btw, the movie got the Award too! SHOULD WATCH!
