Review of Remember

Where the story's heading is satisfying, but how the movie tells the story is too easy and too accidental. I will set aside the facts that eighty something years old man can be physically strong and nimble enough to give well-trained police officers the slip. (I could even believe he formerly worked for CIA.) Many movies have that one leap of faith to make the whole picture work. However, it becomes a problem when it works out too easily, perfectly, and timely for all obstacles to the extent which it loses a sense of reality all together. I like the fact 'Remember' has the structure of passing down the story AND the history. Two characters' age gap seems impossible to create buddy chemistry at first, but a younger one had to be from gen z which thinks that history that much far from now is irrelevant to him or her when most of people regardless of generation still live under the influence of 'Chin-il pa', traitors, financially and politically even after almost 80 years of independence from Japan. Han remembering the big final moment with the help of a kid and Han revealing traitor's true self in front of his granddaughter support this message as well.
