Catatonic
PudgeTV5 September 2020
Bring Me Home was an unusual experience. Despite the slow-burn pacing of the plot, I found myself gripped from start to finish, several moments in particular leaving me frustrated in the best way. Lee Young-ae portrays the mother of a missing child, her state being practically catatonic for the majority of the film. I can see how some might find this tiresome, but the emotion that bled through had me captivated. At no point in the film did I see the actress, I saw the character in her heartbroken state, and I couldn't look away. There were moments that I would change, as the tone shifts back and forth throughout the film, but it didn't negatively impact my experience enough to write this one off. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a slow-burn rollercoaster of Korean cinema.
Happy to see actress Yeong-ae Lee again

Irish band Hothouse Flowers, in the song 'Movies, sang, "Do you go to the movies, find a friend in a film, fall in love with the heroine?" A song about my fictional polygamy :)
Korean actress Yeong-ae Lee was the star of two of my favourite movies, 'Lady Vengeance' and 'One Fine Spring Day'. Thematically opposite, the former was visceral, the latter subtle. She's a good actress though that discovery was helped by her being in the hands of two of Korea's best directors. Another comparison is my lust for her in action mode, and my crush on her as she sat in silence recording the sounds of nature.
Lee vanished for a long while, being involved in charity work, though she played a leading role in two hit tv series, just after the movies I loved and upon her return.
It took her 14 years to return to the big screen, and she's 18 years older than when she made 'One Fine Spring Day'. A year older than me, time has been kind to her - she's graceful.
In 'Bring Me Home', she plays a mother whose child has been kidnapped for years. Unknown to her, he's a slave to fishermen and being sexually abused.
It's an average movie but to its credit it never aimed for easy conclusion. And worthwhile to see Yeong-ae Lee again.

Unusual bring me home

I would say this missing son theme movie had been filmed million times and ending always the same. The unusual ending makes me rate up a bit. For the process, it's not too bad to watch but not very intense though. Li act is indescribable always.
VERY strange and unbelievable.

What cop is so dense that he doesn't take a picture of a suspected, abused and abducted child? I turned off the movie before being insulted any further. Could've been a really good movie but the gratuitous play on emotions was way too thick.
Feel good movie..

Weird.

Why do orphanages not check if a child in their custody a missing child? Like why can't they check thoroughly and constantly for reports??! The twist in the ending was off for me. Yun-su's case was in the news...it was a big news due to the father's tragic dead... I also think the detailed description of yun-su such as the marks and burns are mentioned... The orphanage didn't think that one if their child could be that missing kid?!
Poor kids tho... I hate that rapist so bad.

Missing Child cases ... it's something baffling. It's something that eats up families, not having closure. It also leads to certain crimes, one crazier than the other maybe. It can also lead to some people having information for you and some that don't. It may lead to people close to you, trying to exploit that situation. There are many social messages and critiques and commentary the movie is giving us. Still it is all in the name of tension and "entertainment". So you won't feel like the movie is lecturing you.
Still you might feel inclined to change some of your thinking and ways after seeing this. It's not easy to digest and it is even tougher to keep track of missing kids. Some of us might have seen a missing kid, but not realized it is. How could we? It's not like all of us have a databank that we can see and check up on. Then again, maybe the movie will make you more aware ... if that is possible. Make up your own mind and in the meantime watch this, probably on the edge of your seat - not meant literally, but it does have some situations where that might happen. And while the ending may seem weird, it is in line with the tone of the movie and what it set up right from the beginning if you think about it ...

Janggeum was beaten
selvadorada30026 September 2020
I hate to see Jang geum being abused and almost beaten to death. Contain a lot of violence including to a child. This is decent movie if you are a fan of Lee Yeong ae but seriously I won't bothered if she was not the main character. Disappointing to think she was gone for almost decade in big screen and when she's back she choose to starred on this average film. Jang geum wake up!
