Product Information
This subtle and bucolic Korean film is "dedicated to all grandmas" by its director Jeong-hyang Lee. The story concerns bratty, selfish seven-year-old Sang-Woo (Seung-Ho Yoo) who is sent out into the mountains to live with his ancient, mute, partially deaf grandmother (Eul-Boon Kim) while his stressed-out single mom looks for work back in the city. Angry and resentful, the boy is bored with his new life of simple food, sleeping on the floor in a one-room hut, and having nowhere to buy batteries for his dying handheld video game. Eventually Grandma's humble patience and unconditional love get through to him, and there's plenty of space for comic vignettes and moving moments of stillness along the way. The boy's hyper world of candy and toys contrasts with grandma's slow, natural environment and allows for contemplation on our rapidly changing culture. This is the second film from Ms. Lee, whose cast consists largely of inexperienced locals from the village where she shot the film. Eul-Boon Kim is a particularly amazing discovery as the grandmother; she had never even seen a movie before being cast.Product Identifiers

Meaningful and compassion-provoking
I always look for movies and books that are provocative to my sense of compassion, and this movie fulfills this in a unique way. It is "other-worldly" in that it is appears culturally un-American, but is very unifying to probably anyone, anywhere on the planet. Mingles and contrasts the self-centeredness of a very young boy in modern times with his urges for modern indulgences, and the self-sacrifice of a his generations-removed caregiver--his long-suffering grandmother. Heart rending and evocative, it put me in a place of "walking a mile in (this woman's) shoes" very effectively, a condition we should all not be averse to, provided it is only temporary! REALLY makes one think about what is NOT temporary, for so many across the globe.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
