My Paparotti

There is a combination of gangster trying to make good and classical music singer story here. It keeps things interesting with some action here and there. Some of the character's reactions are exaggerated and some situations are obviously contrived for dramatic purposes. Like the fight before the competition. But at least things aren't dull as it could be for classical music movies. Lee Je Hoon looks a bit old for a high school kid. He lip synchs well. He does not sing a lot of opera just Tosca and Turandot but it sounds great when he does. Another K movie about a teacher and student For Horowitz is also good and less theatrical.

Name of the movie is MY PAPAROTTI. Its the mispronunciation of famous tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Movie is simply beautiful and inspiring. A Simple, Effective and Engaging film. "My Paparotti" is clearly a very standard and straight forward , never deviating much from teacher-student relationship. A boy who wants to become Tenor and a Teacher who is dedicated but not interested in teaching students of his class who seems to have no interest at all. I loved this movie because of 2 reasons:

1. Very straight forward approach towards the simple and real storyline. 2. Moments of comedy, action and poignancy.

A Must see film...Just don't miss it.

This is not someone just starting out or even a rising star: he is phenomenal, but he's also experienced with 14 years of developing his gifts. He can play any part, kicking butt with his martial arts skills, moving viewers to tears with the stillness of his expression, making the heart soar with his performances, and in these most recent just this year there is that maturing in expression and stillness. Letting the moment take the audience in. He's broken my heart several times-and made it soar in My Paparotti.

This story and Lee Je Hoon's acting brought tears to my eyes! He well deserved the best actor award for this.

Of course this is based on a true story but I don't think the true story gonna be like this, if you ever watch a lot of korean movie, you will notice their favourite theme, such as gangster, cute love story, harsh out of place behaviour, slapstick comedy that is only can be found in South Korea Cinema. I love this movie, they did their job really well in realizing this. How they alter the story to be completely suit with all that theme. They don't really need a lot of CGI to make their movie, they just have a lot of story to tell us.Maybe their country not produce a lot of movie every year, but its show that quality is better than quantity. Just watchout for every korean movie. They are far better than states!
