    An amazing love story. Outstanding performances!

    Jong-du is a social misfit, heading for retarded. When his brother tells him he should think before he acts, he responds "I don't know what you mean", and he doesn't. He can't see the need to.

    Gong-ju has cerebral...( read more) palsy. Jong-du doesn't see it, or he sees right through it. Clearly. It registers nothing in him.

    Both the best love story and the best story about mentally handicapped (sp?) people i have ever seen. Two of the hardest things to pull out in the same film. This could have failed so miserable, yet the film manages to stay focused all the way trough. It never gets cheap, sentime...( read more)ntal or melodramatic. I mean, the way the film gets away with so many things is so...perfect, and done in such a mature and intelligent way that other filmakers should seriously consider suicide or permanent retirement. Moon So-ri gives a sincere and convincing performance above any other female actress you could think off.

    This is how you make a movie about such a hard to handle subject. Not idiotic junk like Forrest Gump or I am Sam. I had my reserves about this film, considering most films of the type are stupid and sentimental, but it was the total opposite. The movie makes no apologies at all, the main character is not likeable, he's not suppose to be. The situations aren't comfortable to watch either, why they should? Who said love is suppose to happen under specific circumstances, or with certain type of people? Sometimes the right couple meets in the strangest form possible.

    Korean cinema owns your soul, really, so better get use to the idea.

    An absolutely stunning Korean classic. The lines between right and wrong are clearly blurred as an ex-con befriends a young woman suffering from cerebral palsy. Beautiful and heart breaking with incredible performances. An actual journey takes place while watching this film.

    In a near perfect fusion of committed acting and sensitive direction, Chang dong-Lee demonstrates how Love can overcome even the most insurmountable of obstacles. This is a truly magical work of cinema. The first half-hour is one of the toughest watches I know in cinema. Jong-du'...( read more)s first encounter with Gong-ju is in the context of a sexual assault, and sadly, many will stop watching at this point (as we did) I was months before I braved the rest of the movie; and my god, I'm glad I did -Chang-dong Lee eschews the Hollywood convention that ... Read Morepeople with disabilities be portrayed as superhumans who can do no wrong. Instead, he challenges the audience with complex, flawed characters who are presented with choices through which they can grow as human beings. This is one of those movies that transcends the genre and delivers an insight into a world rarely explored. An amazing film and an amazing love story.

    The tour the force carried out by Moon So-ri in this bittersweet jewel is perhaps the best acting work I have ever witnessed as a filmgoer.

    Turkce aciklama:

    En dogal ve en gercekci haliyle Vaha'nin ifade ettigi askin kurallari bunlar. Bu film toplum disina itilen asklarin dramini anlatiyor. Jong-du, hafif zihinsel geriligi yuzunden, ailesine hep sorun yaratmistir. Alkollu araba kullanirken kaza yapmis ve bir adam...( read more)in olumune neden oldugu icin hapse girmistir. Hapisten cikinca, kazada olumune neden oldugu adamin ailesini ziyarete gider ve adamin engelli kizi Gong-ju'dan cok etkilenir. Ailesi Gong-ju'yu terk edince, aralarinda herkesten gizledikleri yogun bir iliski baslar.
