I long to see this film, but first turned up, I saw bad makeup too, should take inspiration, so is off. Indeed, when the cinema has grown to the extent it is capable of Brad Pitt page at any age from childhood until old age in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, then the makeup is quite bad in my Ode father really made me lose sympathy. Until I see the second, when people look at me, which made me willing to see any film, the movie I was not interested anymore. When viewing full of Ode To My Father directed by Yoon Je-kyoon, the film helped me forget the superficial makeup for the main character when he played an old man, to have an overall view on film , and tell me why Ode to my Father had upended the Korean box office in 2014, and became the movie grossed the second largest in South Korea, was behind the film the Admiral of Kim Han- mine.
True nature of a Korean movie entertainment, Ode to my father is a somewhat epic sentimental tears easily removed from the audience, such as solid capital Korean cinema, and was good at heart grips with the audience, not only in Korea but in Asia in general. However, the film has the qualities of a film carrying the flow of Korean history while emphasizing the outstanding events that Korean country experienced in the second half of the 20th century for connecting of people in the big events of the country is significant and continuous with a validity of the script, so I do not feel defensive about being told disjointed and lacking logic. Therefore the film goes with the sufficient amount, so that the audience grasp the history of Korea as well as sharing feelings with the protagonist.
The film begins in modern times, the old couple and a male offspring, they are happy for a perfect family. The camcorder focuses on the older man, as the central figure, and then from there, flashback footage starts. The audience in the 50 years of the Korean War, a family in Hungnam to refugees because of enemy bombs. In the run accident, the girls lost, so the father stayed here, only the mother, and two other brothers can escape. Before leaving, the father has put a burden on the shoulders of the family elder son. He received the brunt of his father, and promised he would defend at all costs their family. The son Duk-soo that (Hwang Jeong-min).
True to the nature of a melodrama, the film is much hype to push higher up the tragedy that these families encounter during the Korean War. So that, in the plaintive tragedies of character to stand up strong and determined to change his fate. Duk-Soo, but kept his promise to his father. He did not change his fate, but do everything to help the mother and the children, change their fate, helping them to have money to live, to finance education. Duk-Soo received damage on his part. He went to work in German exports as coal miners in the pit, he participated in the Vietnam War, to make money to shoulder the whole family on the shoulder.
Tell personal stories to tell about the fate of the country, Ode to my father, just tragic, these simple, itis fastened to the family, revolving around family, as a major factor to speak of nationalism. Love, sheltering and some bad qualities of people, but above all patriotic sentiments in a casual sense protect his family, and close friends. Duk-soo naive, but sincere. He just said to go, just let go, emotional, and always disadvantaged. Vitality and dedication to his persistent support of her elderly mother, the beautiful young wife whom he met by chance in Germany, with close friends died together Dal-gu (Dal-su Oh). It is simply that, helped Yoon Je-kyoon directors are thoroughly exploited humor to create bright colors for a story associated with tragedy. Humor, like specialty of Korean cinema, bringing laughter, but hides the human values of life. The main thing that the film struck a chord with the audience, to the national pride, to the pride of a progressive country, and progress. The wise writer and director Park Soo-jin is no need to mention also making the audience feel the Koreans were really committed as yet to build their country.
Click the main events in the history of the Republic, I was particularly impressed at the back third of the script, while South Korea is a national program to find missing relatives during the war. Scenes look Dak-Soo relatives eager to find his father and his sister really touching and true. It represents the loss of the nation, of the families devastated by war. The film therefore look humane when not slammed any public power, it focuses on the family, family problems, without trying touched on politics. That is what makes the film really comes into his heart.
In short, Ode to my father’s a good film in Korean cinema, in addition to the film deliberately exaggerated facts, to push higher emotions of the viewer, the film achieved two commercial elements and arts, especially, if you are Korean, it’s no surprise that you’ll be proud of their country when watching the film, the proud and thrilled, what a blockbuster history should bring, how Forrest Gumpdid well for his role in American history, American character.
