So-won

I cried every second of this movie, excellent acting ang scenerio

What besiege a man to do such a brutal act to an innocent child? That's the question I kept asking myself after watching the film. 'Hope' is a film every parent with a young child should see. This is one of the most emotional and inspirational films I've seen in a while.

The actors were exceptional, especially Re Lee as the little girl. It was interesting to see how a somewhat divided family was brought together through tragedy, and the many obstacles they had to overcome in the process. This is an incredible film!! Very touching indeed.

Hope is a heavy film. I felt this giant weight come over me as soon as the film ended. It endures through so much pain and its road towards joy is thick. Joon-ik Lee has created something beautiful and honest, it explores shadings of trauma that is morally ambiguous and it is filled to the brim with tear-jerking moments that it leaves you so heart-broken that I am still trying to restore the broken pieces. Sure, Hope can be labelled as a sentimental film, but it is melodrama that is done efficiently, filled with emotional intelligence and empathetic characters.

I cried my eyes out.. It's really a good movie, the actors did really a great job acting i was so into it, it's a soo sad movie but at the same time it's full of positivity I recommend it you have to watch it!

So Won (aka Hope also aka Wish) is a movie about a terrible event (the rape by a drunkard of a 9 yo girl) that shatters a family. It unravels slowly showing at first the parents (the father in particular case) who seem somehow too busy to take care of their daughter, then the tragedy happens, this part is not too graphic (thank God) but we are made aware that the poor girl will bear physical consequences for the rest of her life. Then there's the trial, and the need of money, and the shame for being at the center of attention. I was afraid this movie was going to be somehow a classic tearjerker describing the struggle of the family with money, work, slow/inefficient justice and so on. But the second half of the movie was about the father trying to get close to his daughter. And I think it was moving, and delicate at the same time.

The acting is very good. The food mascots costumes cuteness level was really over the top. Overall (as the rating suggests) I liked this movie, it was touching.
