You won't be disappointed!
Sadly Over-hyped
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I have watched very few Asian movies but each of them connects emotionally with the viewer, this was another one. Just like other Asian movies, it was slow in pace but the connection that it brings about was just amazing. The theme is unique in its own way and the plot has been well put by the Producer and Director of the movie. I just wished that somehow the movie had a happy ending. I was saddened when Eungyo felt prey to that wicked disciple. Also little frustrated that the old guy was so silent, if you have feelings, you need to let it out eventually. Hope the ending was perfect but still nice touching movie.The problem is the society, they have started to accept many things including same-sex marriages but a wide age-gap in relationship is still considered a taboo.
This was a very tricky script to film whilst retaining plausible performances.Yet the result clearly is delicately, sensitively and authentically acted out, with immaculate pacing, intelligence and passion, carried by splendid camera work (especially the closeups), and astonishingly perfect music. At times the score felt more appropriate than anyone could ever have dreamed of. It is not without its flaws, but it is brilliant nonetheless. I am an instant fan of Korean cinema, pushing as it does so very much Hollywood material into the bin of mediocrity.
I first thought this would be one of those graphic and harsh/depressing film. But it actually turned out to be a warm romance movie to a degree. Sure, the premise may sound creepy but it's executed in a way where you actually feel for the old guy. Mainly because of the genuine heart of the man and the person he falls for. The two actors and the actress did a amazingly fine job bringing out the characters in a very natural manner. To the point it seemed like real characters. Another Korean movie called "The Bow" had something similar going on. But despite the artsy elements the characters were too mysterious and it didn't have enough to make the old guy to be likable and came about like a poor Hugh Hefner. While this was the opposite while having that artistic elements as well. Also the climax was not expected.6.8/10
What to say about this movie?First let me say that there are not enough reviews for Korean cinema in my opinion.I an a HUGE fan of Asian cinema,and I wish everyone could see just how good it is!The main aspect I noticed in this movie was "Humanity"in all it's beauty.And this is Korean Cinema in it's finest!The fragility of youth,age,and love is portrayed so artfully is what makes this movie so strong!There were scenes that were so real,even in dreaminess that they took my breath away.The main character"Eungyo"was beautiful without even knowing it.When the movie ended,after a while of silence,and wiping my tears I felt this movie deserved a review,and that I had to honour the creation of it.It's a movie I will never forget,and I was deeply touched.
