Ai kaen seupikeu

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 screenplay, editing, directing, cinematography, and production design of the movie "I can speak" are all pretty straightforward, and there is really nothing special. It simply does not worth the overwhelming acclaim it receives. I cannot say it's a bad movie, but definitely a boring movie.

I know the acting of the grandma's character is fantastic but I dont know why everytime she speaks english it will be really awkward. I know its not her native language but she's ok when acting in korean mode but eveytime she speaks english, looks like her acting drop a bit. Then, there is a lot of cliche in this movie if you have watched a lot of korean movie. It become so boring for me.

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.

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.
