I can speak

What a terrible, beautiful movie this is. As an Irishman, I was not aware of the Japanese in South Korea, nevermind North Korea. I know a lot about the Asia Pacific conflict during WWII but, this is someting I never came across until now. What an eye opener.

I feel so sorry for those who have "reviewed" this movie and cannot or, maybe don't want to, understand the meaning of this movie. Aren't they lucky they didn't live in the time depicted, nor were subjected to the atrocities inflicted on these children, for that is what they were, children. I shall endeavour to learn more of this period.

I would suspect that is the raison d'etre of this movie. Cudos to the two main leads, Na Moon-hee and Lee Ja-hoon, and to the writer (s) and the director Kim Hyun-seok. My eyes have been opened, they shall remain so.

The story of the movie is based on a true story talking about the comfort girls back in WWII.

The movie presented the plot perfectly and didn't show their cards up until the end where you can realize "Oh that what was these two old ladies talking about" :D

The comedy is fresh, quick and clever ,,, not the type where you fall on your back laughing but it is really sweet,, and what even made me write his is the ending , i suddenly found myself welling up by the heartwarming ending and how the story unraveled itself.

As for the cast, bravo,, both of the leads, the Old lady and the young man who teaches her english were amazing and well invested in their roles,, and sure the whole cast were good too.

Final thought ,, It is highly recommended , watch it now.

What starts as a surface level comedy genre movie about a Grandmother, quickly develops and turns out in fact to be a deep and historical drama about WW2 war crimes.

The film does an excellent job of weaving together many strong themes about courage, determination, language barrier, and optimistically reminding us that its never to late in life to learn, and we should always fight for whats what, and speak up.

Its a very powerful movie, that will move even the coldest of hearts to tears. Stellar performances by both leads. A+ movie all around.

It's a story too many do not know about what happened in Korea as well as in Nanking. Great cast and well-paced narrative. Veteran actress and rising star are a great team.

The acting of the granny was really excellent and she was one who completely takes us throughout the film. Basically the films with true events was really tough to reach audience because it's reality but this film they takes the viewers with curiosity about why she wants to learn English and what's her back history. It doesn't looks like a true story, there's the film won. The concept of the film was so strong and all should know about our history about how womens treated. Interesting and must watch movie.
