There is basically no subject matter that they dare not shoot in Korea. It is very ironic when it criticizes society, and it makes people cry when it is a tearjerker. For example, the movie I want to recommend to you today is in the name of comedy, but the ending is... It makes people burst into tears.
Title: " I can speak " .
The film is adapted from real events. Director Kim Hyun-seok is both a screenwriter and a director. "Joint Security Area" and "If the Sun Rises from the West" were all produced by him, and his strength is obvious to all.
The cast is amazing. The heroine Luo Wenji is known as the "National Grandma" in South Korea. Not only is her acting skills amazing, but the characters in the play are also very lovable. She starred in the role of grandma in the Korean drama " funny family " which was once popular in China.
Let’s talk about the reputation of "I Can Say". Douban score is 8.8. Luo Wenji won the best actress in three major Korean film festivals, and the director also won the Korean Blue Dragon Award best director. It's really hard to resist such a good film.
The old woman played by Luo Wenji in this film is very energetic despite her age. He stares at uncivilized behavior in the community every day, and often reports and petitions. He is known as the "god of death" on this street.
The employees in the Petition Bureau were almost worried to death, and they wanted to take a detour when they saw her.
On this day, a new employee came to the Letters and Calls Bureau, his name was Min Zai. He is tall and handsome. No matter who he is, you will be amazed by his star face when you look at him.
This was his first day at work. Before he officially started work, he met that difficult old woman. The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, the fire was shining and the atmosphere was solemn, as if they would start fighting in the next second.
The old lady opened a tailor shop on the street. The store was not big, but it was enough to maintain a subsistence life. But recently, her tailor shop was demolished by the government, saying it was a major project.
The old lady was very unhappy: Just demolish it if you say it. Could it be that all the shopkeepers who have been on the street all day long go to drink the northwest wind? She took out her little notebook, found evidence of illegal demolition by the government, compiled it into a pamphlet, and rushed to the Petitions Bureau.
This is the first meeting between the old lady and Minzai.
Minzai was particularly calm. On the surface, he accepted the evidence from the old lady competently, but in fact he threw it aside.
Men, how can you make big money without ambition? He has long been quietly siding with the government.
But the old lady didn’t know. She was very happy: This young man has a good attitude and must be a good person.
She hangs around Minzai every day, begging Minzai to teach her English. (Yes, the old lady became obsessed with English after the tailor shop had a business crisis)
Minjae was so worried that his hair turned white: How can I get rid of a stubborn old man?
Until Minzai saw his younger brother at the grandmother's house. Due to work, he didn't have time to cook for his brother, so he either ate cookies or ordered takeout.
The old lady felt very sorry for him, so she often invited her brother to her home for dinner.
At that moment, Minzai felt guilty and moved. He reflected on his mistakes and decided to teach the old lady English well.
After becoming familiar with each other, Minzai learned about the old woman’s past: she had a younger brother living abroad, and she learned English in order to better communicate with him.
In order to surprise the old lady, Minzai secretly called her brother. The attitude on the other end of the phone was completely opposite to what the grandma described: the younger brother didn't want to talk to the grandma and asked her not to call.
On the other side, the old lady learned about Minzai's position. She angrily asked Minzai for the evidence she had collected, and had a big quarrel with Minzai.
During the quarrel, Minzai was so angry that he told her about his brother's unwillingness to contact the grandmother. The old lady was so distraught that she left the Letters and Calls Bureau alone.
After that, the old woman disappeared.
Minzai was anxious and angry. While looking for someone, he murmured in his heart: This little old woman is really capable of making trouble, and she even ran away from home like a rebellious teenager.It wasn't until he saw the old lady's story in the newspaper that he realized what he had done wrong.
It turns out that the old lady left because her friend died. Both were comfort women and knew each other well because of the same tragic past. Before leaving, the old lady’s friend’s greatest hope was to expose Japan’s crimes.
This is the reason why the old lady insists on learning English. She wants to seek justice for the victims. This time, she directly reported the whole of Japan.
Minzai was worried about the old lady and secretly followed her to the court. In court, Japan refused to admit past crimes. But the old lady didn't give up.
She took off her clothes and showed the scars left by the Japanese soldiers on her body to the public. She recalled her nightmare past and opened her own wounds herself. In the end, he was very foreign and raised his middle finger directly at Japan.
The first half is funny, and the second half is touching.
Especially the scene where the old lady came home again after coming out of the court. Her neighbor was very angry and hugged her very uncomfortably.
"Why didn't you say anything? You..." At that moment, Diandian cried so embarrassingly that her mother didn't recognize her. (Don't laugh, you must have seen it too)
In the past time, the old woman has been hiding this secret, fearing that her family will be shamed and that her brother will be gossiped by others.
She forgot: She is a victim. If she doesn't even seek justice for herself, who else will care about those cruel injuries? After many years, she finally stood up and fought bravely.
At the end of the video, Japan did not apologize to the old lady. But they cannot bury the history of "comfort women". It exists as it happened, and they must pay the corresponding price.
The actors are very good at acting, and the crying scenes can really arouse the audience's emotions. If you want to watch this movie, remember to have tissues in your pocket!
