Watch Secret Tears For Free

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

hyped garbage

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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

Secret Tears is a good but not great.It was a psychological/horror film from Korea. The acting was decent.So was the story.The plot is simply is about a man becomes involved in some extra-sensory experiences.This happens after hitting a woman while driving drunk and bringing her home. She has amnesia and cannot speak, but that doesn't prevent her from communicating with him in other ways.The story was simply not for entertainment.It requires a little thinking about different ways people can communicate.That is why this movie is not for everyone.But nevertheless,it still deserves a 9/10 rating.Aside from that,this will also give Son Ye-jin's fans a lot of joy as it happens to be her film debut.

The South Korean SECRET TEARS, or BIMIL (2000), is a cross between a psychological thriller and girl-meets-man story, with enough plot twists and creative story angles to keep it engaging almost all the way through. Although I found myself wishing for more tension-producing subplots or situations as the film wore on, the originality of the story and beauty of the photography maintained my interest. The movie's thoughtful treatment of themes such as memory, reality, loss and emotional honesty were a welcome departure from the all-too-frequently two-dimensional content of many thrillers. The acting was wonderfully understated, although I found myself getting distracted by the male protagonist's habit of shifting his eyes from side to side whenever internal dialogue was indicated. But that's a quibble. The visual and audio effects so essential to the film were handled in an appropriately simple way, considering that this was not a big-budget movie. Subtitles were mostly well done.

After the ever fateful last round of drinks 3 friends find themselves driving home in the rain. It's dark and visibility is slim to none. Standing in the middle of the road 200 meters away is a bright eyed school girl staring at the sky as rain clouds pelt her face from high above. The driver is not paying much attention to the road, distracted by his friend singing karaoke next to him and too much to drink, he predictably runs straight into her. The only thing is she flies about 10 meters into the air in slow motion and strangely receives no bruises or breaks from the accident. This school girl, with no ID on her as well as a convenient case of amnesia and loss of speech, becomes the center of the story when the 3 friends try to find out who she is. As the events unfold it becomes clear that something supernatural is going on. In my opinion the rest of the story panned out pretty well, it wasn't too far fetched or even lacking content. It was filmed very well and the acting was solid. I was interested the entire way through, this is definitely a movie I would like to watch again.

I purchased the zone 3 DVD and cannot stop to look at it. The actors in this movie are simply incredibly great. You'll stay long impressed by the young Mi-Jo. I was never so impressed by the expression in the eyes of an actor as I was in this movie.
