I don't even want to talk about the sequences that were disturbing. It's very rare that I cry watching movies but this time, I lost it. I can't even explain how many times I broke down watching Hope and that has never happened with me. I felt really connected with the director throughout the film. As if the director was aware when his audience will break down, so he…. This made me cry real tears but it did not for one second feel like it was natural or even my own tears streaming down my face.
It felt more like the tears were being teased out of me, the filmmaking a crutch to have my emotions toyed with as everything is spelled out exactly how badly I was supposed to feel while watching.
It felt like manipulation. I like to feel my own emotions. I like to be able to decide on my emotions by myself and not be force-fed them, actually. Funny that. HOPE, while surely effective in its ambitions and well-put together in every general sense of the word, did not grant….
A devastating heart wrenching drama based on a true story of a 8-year old girl, raped and beaten by a drunk year-old man. The first hour is a tearjerker and makes your heart heavy with pain and shock.
The second hour tenderly showcases about mental healing and the moments of humanity, compassion among each human and fellow community members turning into a spiritually uplifting drama. The screenplay and the performances from the cast were excellent. Love and compassion are the essential tools to overcome the evil in the world. The movie sheds light on the meaningful aspects of life brimming with hope.
Extremely devastating and what makes it more painful is the fact that it actually happened to a young girl publicly known as "Nayoung". O filme mexe muito com nosso emocional, seja nas cenas tristes ou nas bonitinhas. Mainstream cinema's enthusiasm for nonfictional stories is often in conflict with a multitude of ethical and legal concerns, especially if they're based on real-life tragedies and traumatic experiences.
Many would perceive the mere adaptation of such events as an opportunistic attempt at turning human suffering into box office returns. Just as cinema has proven to be useful in its ability to raise awareness and draw attention to a variety of topics, so too have other valuable sources of information. Documentary footage, news reports, and even social media posts are sufficient in delivering strategic approaches to public interest communications.
However, nonfictional narratives aren't exclusive to the cinema, as the moment in which facts begin to circulate, various forms of media have…. Holy crap! This one just kicked me right in my emotional centre. It's hard to imagine anything more heinous and devastatingly traumatic than child rape, but when it's based on a true story The technical stuff in this movie is beautiful. In many ways it's look reminded me of the wonderful Shoplifters.
That's where the similarities end though. Where Shoplifters is full of twists, turns and hopefulness, this movie just looks you straight in the eye and headbutts you. No warning. No foreplay. It just hits you hard, and keeps on punching. As a parent myself, I…. I myself would describe myself as rather emotionless. Especially when it comes to fictional work like movies, games or books.. It's not the scenes where you got angry or sad because something bad happen on screen, no it is the scenes where the family come together or the father tryed everything to make Hope happy who got me.
I nearly lost it sometimes, what is more than any other movie ever could accomplish. Not Rated. Did you know Edit. Trivia The movie is based on the real events of the "Na-young Case" that took place in December in which an eight-year-old girl alias Na-young was on her way to school when she was kidnapped by year-old Cho Doo Soon Jo Du Sun , who was drunk at the time. Cho raped and beat Nayoung at a public squat toilet. Na-young had injures to her internal organs, and was taken to a hospital, surviving the incident.
Cho was arrested and eventually sentenced to 12 years in prison. The case sparked outrage and protest including Nayoung's parents and many others. User reviews 47 Review. Top review. Above all a story of a father and a daughter. So Won aka Hope also aka Wish is a movie about a terrible event the rape by a drunkard of a 9 yo girl that shatters a family.
It unravels slowly showing at first the parents the father in particular case who seem somehow too busy to take care of their daughter, then the tragedy happens, this part is not too graphic thank God but we are made aware that the poor girl will bear physical consequences for the rest of her life. Then there's the trial, and the need of money, and the shame for being at the center of attention. But the second half of the movie was about the father trying to get close to his daughter.
And I think it was moving, and delicate at the same time. The acting is very good. The food mascots costumes cuteness level was really over the top. Overall as the rating suggests I liked this movie, it was touching. Details Edit. Release date October 2, South Korea. South Korea. Official site Japan Official site South Korea.
