Very disappointing...
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
i must say this movie is the best movie i ever seen, thanks god i didn't miss it the acting was superb you almost believe that the main actor is a fool in a real life , this movie will make you happy and sad and you will enjoy them both you will enjoy every moment in this movie even the sad moments ! i wont go in details to avoid spoilers but you will not feel it till you watch it, i recommend watching this movie with your kids , it will teach them a lesson about the father love .i'm now a really big fan of Korean movies especially after watching this one sadly most of Hollywood movies now focus on making money more then the content of the movie itself please Korean director keep Korean movies your way!.
Rarely will you see a movie that shakes your soul to the core and this movie manages to do that. For a long time I remained adamant that I will never experience another movie as lachrymose as The Green Mile but I was wrong. My tears just would not stop. The father daughter relationship in this movie is simply beautiful, in some ways ineffable. You have got to watch this movie in order to understand how pure, innocent and affectionate their bond is. Their acting was incredible. The child in particularly was extremely convincing and deserves praise for expressing believable emotions at such a young age. Some might criticise the movie for a few illogical/unrealistic events but I can assure you that this does not diminish the greatness of this movie. What matters in this movie is character development and character interaction which are executed flawlessly. The supporting cast also do an excellent job. Hope, justice, mercy, innocence, sacrifice and affection are some of the themes that are explored in this harrowing and satisfying movie. This movie is right up there with The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile for great prison movies. Please...please do not miss this one.
I love watching movies, and this is the first movie that made me cry a LOT (even experienced hyperventilation during some of the really heavy scenes). South Korea is know for their artistic and heavy film making, whatever the genre is, and this film is no exception. Story line is simple; even a child can understand what's going on. We see a goofy and loving father and his Adorable daughter; Rich couple and their innocent daughter taken suddenly by an accident; High official taken by grief due to the loss of a beloved; and a lot of inmates who all have their own special characters to the story. It's the remarkable love between a father and daughter that makes it so simple yet brilliant. First class acting, superb casting, a little bit of comedy. Some scenes are a little too much of a cliché, but who cares? The film totally delivered!
Like tween girls in Japanese anime, tween girls are in Korean live shot movies. There are plenty of movies had seen success on father-tween daughter or similar combo. Those were really cool comedies and some were action-thrillers. This is one of those kinda where it deals a mentally challenged father and his 6 year old daughter. It has been a fun filled movie with often character emotion strikes strongly.From the director of 'Champ' who again portrayed childish father and brave daughter relationship in this movie as well. There no much deviation in those two characters, only circumstances changes here. Lee is a mentally challenged of 6 year old mind who got a daughter with same age. He works in a supermarket and earns enough for his little family. They lead a regular smooth life like everyone until Lee gets arrested for a criminal offense. Now this child got no elders to take care after her father. How this innocent little girl fight for her father is what the movie portrayed in its remaining.It was a heartwarming family movie with equally fun and melodrama filled story. Frankly to say I did not like it as much as everybody else around me because the emotions looked a bit fake to me. To me it looked alike 'The Green Mile' with total changed scenario. Why am saying it mean I love emotional themes, it is one of my favourites. The kid performed very well though and the convincing father character. At least you might like it more than me because it's got lots of positive responds from movie goer everywhere. So what you are waiting for, give it a try.
