Watch Oasis For Free

Admirable film.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film is played with such precise acting of natural behaviour that the outcome of the story just deepens your heart and mind in believing why we humans do such cruel activities and leave those who cannot enact decisions for themselves to suffer from our greed and desired darkness that makes us the monster that we are ..... This film is a prime example on why we should look deep in the well of our hearts and souls and try to forgive and understand the simplest of cruel intentions we blind out which then snowballs to this extent of cruel injustice to the innocent that are fallen angels amongst us... This truly is a magnificent movie for those who want to understand the eternal darkness of a corrupted mind...

This movie begins with one of the most violent scenes ever shot: the rape of a spastic girl by a man with a feeble mind. However, by any standards, this movie is one of the most emotionally violent human love stories ever told. The rape turns into a love bond and the odd couple forms an oasis of love in an evil world, where there is no place for painted birds like handicapped people. More, feeble minds or spastic people cannot express themselves properly in order to reveal the truth or to defend themselves against false accusations. Their handicap is also exploited as a cover-up for the misdeeds of 'normal' members of their family. The acting is sublime with a formidable So-ri Moon in the role of the spastic girl.This movie with its violent emotional outbursts and highly charged confrontations is, by any standards, one of the greatest masterpieces ever shot. A must see for all movie lovers.

so friends told me this movie was superb... off course, I had to watch it. what I saw was beautiful, but also sad. to be correct, the picture wasn't sad it all, but it made me sad. and above all, I became very angry. how is it possible we live in a society where things like this can happen to good people as the protagonists in this film? yeah, I am shocked and very sad. why didn't the director choose for a better ending? the good memories I had about a sequence from this movie I saw a long time ago, are all gone now. you know what? this is the fault of the director! what a piece of BEEP! this movie is BEEP! well, maybe this movie is made to give commentary about how racist we as a society are... anyway, this movie will make you cry.

mitsounob from Yokohama, Japan commented that the director made this film about communication, among other things. That's what it was largely about for me too.I'm thinking mainly of the scene where Jong-du and Gong-ju are both at the police station. When Gong-ju is being asked for her account of the incident, her sister keeps speaking for her. The policeman doesn't give Gong-ju time to speak for herself. One of the most difficult scenes for me is when Gong-ju repeatedly bashes herself against the cabinet to try to get somebody to listen to her. Similarly, her brother, when trying to reach a "settlement" with Jong-du's family, speaks for Gong-ju. When talking about how traumatised Gong-ju has been, he says, 'Just look at her'. As if she could never enjoy physical love.This brings me to the second theme of the movie, as far as I am concerned. The world is set up for people with a certain range of abilities. Which means that people who fall within this range can exploit people who fall outside of them. Which is exactly how Gong-ju and Jong-du are treated by their families.Jong-du is the fall guy for his brother, who has a family and a career and can't 'afford' to do time. To add insult to injury, Jong-du gets out of jail to find that his brother has moved, without leaving a forwarding address! Gong-ju's family similarly exploits her. Jong-du and Gong-ju are fairly forgiving of their families' despicable behaviour.My final comment on this film is that Gong-ju and Jong-du know their place in the world. They know not to even bother trying to convey the truth. In fact, I get a fleeting, disturbing feeling that their families are the only people whose behaviour towards them is a true and honest symptom of how the world really works.
