Jane

I saw this when looking up koo kyo Hwan & had to see it. It is NOT the typical Korean Movie of the perfect beautiful people who always end up happy. First he is gorgeous in whatever role he plays & his caliber of great acting drives this little independent film that is hard even find. This is not even about gender but more about street kids that exist all over the world. Our homeless population is now huge in the US. But this story dwells on some of the most vulnerable which is teen youth. Ronald Regan helped create this problem in the 1980's when he closed all state institutions that served the mentally ill for years driving many of those people to jail & the streets. There were many women sent to those institutions in the 9150-960's only to receive insane amounts of daily shock therapy. My mother along with mothers of Gloria Steinem, Marilyn Monroe & Katy Sagal have spoken about their mother's plight while receiving what I call barbaric treatment back then as they even did Lobotomy's. JFK & Bobby Kennedy's sister had this treatment done by their father Joe Kennedy. She lived for all her life institutionalized as they had the means to keep her locked up. This is not a happy ending story but perhaps a glimpse of the Not So Perfect live shown in Korean shows that I binge watch myself. Nothing is resolved in this movie except a glimpse of a sweet, but not perfect, person called Carol & how she gave a little bit of Joy to the lives of others.

Facial expressions, words, gestures, everything is like a dream, a beautiful existence Jane. The paradox of being comforted by Jane, who is sicker than anyone else. A film that will be remembered for a very long time. New directors and wonderful actors who want to applaud passionately.
