I watched this movie again after many years and I am even more puzzled now than when I first watched it why Leonardo DiCaprio didn't get the Oscar for such an amazing acting performance, I'm not and never have been his biggest fan but even now days after watching I'm simply blown away by his ability, This movie showcased this ability and overall a hugely enjoyable movie with Leonardo's performance the cherry on top. His acting and this movie compelled me to pen this review, wonderful movie with a wonderful cast on top of their game. Perfectly directed and long enough to occupy a full evening of enjoyable watching. Some people are just so good at what they do. Another 1st class movie directed by a top +++ director,

I don't care about the technical aspects or if it's historically correct, I just thoroughly enjoyed watching this imo well made Korean movie, It goes straight into the keep folder for me to watch again some time in the future.

While I admire who won the Oscar for best actress in a leading role in 1996, I just can't understand how Emily Watson didn't win the Oscar in what for me was the best performance of any actress that I've seen in my 60+ years and in her 1st big screen role, I have never been so convinced by any actress in any role. I've admired her acting in many roles over the years but none as much as for this mesmerizing performance. Wonderful directing also made this a never to be forgotten movie.
