Voice of Silence

Korean movies can be quite quirky ... but most of all Genre movies can be quite innovative. And what can you more wish for as a film fan than to be surprised and not really know where the movie will go next? What it has in mind and how crazy the characters are - and how fitting they are in the world they are portrayed in. This oozes with creative juices and it really is a fun watch ... well not always as fun for those involved obviously (yes this has violent tendencies and it may offend in certain moments some of the viewers who are easily offended/triggered anyway), but mostly for the viewers.

So go into this with an open mind and just enjoy the mayhem that unfolds ... with the right actors and the right dialog ... and sometimes the silent treatment ... it's not easy being in a criminal world.

Slow, its gros and brutal yet as being emotional and full of human dynamics at many levels. productionwise it has the grand spacious shoots where many elements are within one frame, the score though not the usual perfection, and the acting is allright enough but its a bit of a waiting game, so may you be the curious cat to be able to lick the spilled milk, i did and dont regret it.

a small recommend though from the grumpy old man

Great story with dark humor.About how a environment can affect on people personalities.Great cast especially Yoo Ah-in without a single line in the movie. and to the two kids act so natural. Great ending that leave us to imagine.

Ok so this is a kind of movie which doesn't specifically fits into any genre, it has the vibes of burning in second half and the first half was slow paced dark humor. The story was nothing out of ordinary but when the first half started it felt as if it has to be 10/10 but there was a lot of loose ends and talking about the ending the film isn't about the character development but it completely depends upon the audience point of view and it plays with it towards the end. If you aren't a fan of slow burning, slow paced, dark humor then this movie isn't for you. And cheers to Yoo Ah-in for perfectly portraying his role.

This movie revolves around a child kidnapping case, cleverly depicting that even the most cold-hearted individuals can't help but reveal their concerns when faced with children. Such emotional transformations not only evoke a sense of touching moments but also resonate strongly with the audience deep within. Using the innocence of children as an emotional vessel, the film profoundly showcases the complexity of human nature. I believe the movie successfully conveys a societal phenomenon-how even the most ruthless people can show a softer side in the presence of children. At the same time, the protagonists struggle within the shadows of crime, facing a dilemma that is truly helpless; they must survive in the darkness.

In the film, the antagonist casually mentions, 'Making money on both sides is faster than extortion,' which made me feel the ruthlessness of real-world villains driven by personal gain. This deeply emphasizes how precarious people's choices can be in extreme circumstances. In summary, 'Voice of Silence,' with its profound emotional portrayal and reflection on the darker aspects of society, elicited a strong emotional resonance within me.
