Keys to the Heart

I appreciate very much the efforts of LBH to act in different genre of movies. This time it is not his familiar action film, but a drama on family love with his autistic brother. He acts equally well as a big brother. Love to see the different side of LBH.

As predictable as the heart-warming plot may be, director Choi Sung-hyun has created a captivating film. Despite the lack of originality of the premise, the setup is simplicity itself. The film constantly engages us due to its sensitive writing as well as solid performances, and presents beautiful & heart wrenching moments. It's a film that thrills and captivates not for its originality but for the simplicity of things to happen.

What a great movie. A simple story told so well, a broken family, troubled parents and troubled kids, and how they have to overcome it. All with the help of amazing performances by the actors. To top it all, a world class soundtrack. One of my favorite korean movies for sure.

You just need sensitivity to like this movie. And then, yes, great performances and a beautiful soundtrack. Another good one!

Once again, the great CGV Cinema in Los Angeles strikes with yet ANOTHER movie that send tears my face (1987, A TAXI DRIVER and yes, a zombie movie, the awesome TRAIN TO BUSAN)

I love just walking into that theater, not watching the trailer, reading any reviews. I use my Movie Pass and I am treated to magic! Sure, you can read what the movie is about on this page. I prefer not to and enjoy the surprises this movie presented, especially by (K Pop Star?) Park jung min, who creates a wonder performance as a stage two autistic adult.

My nitpicks: the movie is around 20 minutes too long and the last 30 minutes, a tad choppy, however, the overly journey was emotional and rewarding.

If you like great Korean cinema, check this one out as soon as you can see it. I will see again soon! Now, Im gonna watch some Park jung min videos!
