Beolsae

This reminds me of me when I was young, always looking for love through the eyes of someone else, and thinking I wasn't worth anything.

I had lots of time to wonder and be around different people in my lifetime and this movie even though it's Asian culture, and I actually remember when the bridge collapsed cuz I kept up on Asian culture back then even in 1990s, that was such a tragic thing to happen, that in their president had died.

There are times when this movie was kind of boring because it doesn't explain a lot of stuff it just follows this family around I know the main character is the young girl there's lots of facial expressions and I'm noticing that more when I watch pieces like this but there need is be some kind of information for us people who I mean I get facial expressions but there's missing pieces is what I'm saying I still love the movie because of the point it was trying to make without me spoiling anything it was really good I washed it till the end it was really long though that's the other thing it needed to be a little shorter and I didn't quite like the ending That's just my opinion though it's still was a really good movie, well written.

Set in 1994, the film focuses on a 14 year old girl struggling with family and school, while trying to find her identity, which is something we all go through at that age, I guess. There were a few subject matters that were very well tackled in the film, considering the ages of the young actors, and more importantly the time period the film is supposed to be based on. Kids are usually very good in dramas, so there were no surprises in terms of their performances. There's a major event in the film that occurred in the mid 90s, which most foreigners probably aren't aware of, and which answers the question as to why the film was set in that period.

The only qualm I had with this film was its pace. Some scenes, in an effort to come across as poetic, just dragged on a tad bit.

The society pressures you to stay in the straight line. You need to be a good student. You should listen to your older siblings. Take beating as approved if you are just a daughter in a family. However, Life is not a straight line. This is a story about a teenager girl finding her way out of adventerous and sometimes confusing maze called life.

"If you could choose to work in a movie site "House of Hummingbird" or "Parasite", where would you choose? "

I asked this question to many of my movie lover friends. Be cause it was in a theater at same time and critics loved both movies. But "House of Hummingbird" was well-known for poor working conditions and on the other hand "Parasite" was well-known for good working conditions. First, most of my friends chose "Parasite" even though they liked the other more. However I added one more to the question. "If you don't work on the site of "House of Hummingbird, Movie might not be finished." Then most of my friends said they will work even with poor working conditions.

We, me and my friends who support the movie women's movie are very serious about showing ticket powers to movie companies. In Korea, It is real to see women directors in major movie scenes. I know most countries are having the same problem but we are taking this seriously. So the second condition I asked my friends was not only some of my mean characteristics to make friends in trouble but want to see my friends feel the same as me that they are prioritizing women's movies more than any other movies.

So, the movie is about a middle school student named Eun-hee. Her family doesn't show interest in her and even her brother hits her. Outside of her school and house she is more cheerful. She has a friend who is also a victim of violence and a boyfriend, nice to her, these two make her alive. One day, She meets a new teacher who is even polite to youth.

The movie is very quiet unlike the Oscar award movie. Even the romance is not sweet. But why my friends liked it was because it was about us. Most of us are not important in the family if there is a brother. And not like unrealistic fantasy high teen movies it makes us feel comfortable. If you are Korean movie lover you will know there are not many teenage movies in Korea. Because the older generation didn't think school life was important. Important thing is going to a good college. We don't think it's true. It is possible I want to make precious memories with friends and family and not be ignored by parents and teachers with my test score. The Movie was hard to watch, it was very real. Many people feel helpless and lonely on these days.

Yes, we want to see more movies that talk about us - Korean women- like something even if it is miserable and lonely.

The House of Hummingbird (Beolase) was creating unique mood that I couldn't see at other movies. The movie begins with the setting of the main character and explains the relationships between them. The most impressive thing was the events were based on real events and life of director. I believe this is why Beolsae could transfer message to audience and impact audience. I want to point out that Bolase's cinematography is amazing. Every transition, angle, lighting represents the events, emotion, and more. But Beolsae had some of awkwardness in some of shots. Some of shots were dragging a little and I thought some of shots should be edit more shorter. But overall, it was good movie with message.
