It did get me near the end though...
12 July 2013
These emotional movies that seem to hit the core of the heart seems to be making hits these days. It might start to become a trend or maybe it already has. It's a good movie but nothing amazing to the point I am not shocked why it was such a big hit in Korea or anything like that. It just didn't grab me emotionally all that much most of the way through. And some parts seemed just too far-fetched or a bit ridiculous. But I guess it had to go in that direction in order to make this story work. The bonding elements just seemed a bit rushed and forced at times and just didn't have that well incorporated flow. The whole bonding with the inmates has been done before but better and when it comes the relationship between the father and daughter. It reminded me of the film "I am Sam" which is a better bond between a mentally handicapped father and daughter movie. The relationship between the inmates and the mentally handicapped father and daughter relationship is done alright to build up for the end. And the main selling point is the near the end part, which actually got me despite the mediocre build up.
