Featured reviews
A realistic movie drawing attention to full time mothers' psychological and lifestyle changes after getting married and giving birth in Asian countries. A touching story with great actors, worth watching.
It is said that after the publication of the novel and the release of the film, the majority of south Korean men still launched an endless online abuse and boycott, so it is conceivable that in Asia, the status of women is so low that even though some people have awakened, most people still feel accustomed to it.Women's rights are not just a "METOO" movement. They are needed in every aspect of society, from the home to the workplace.I hope everyone, women can speak for themselves, and men can speak for women, as a talk show host urged on the program: if you keep silent and think it's not your business, then you are an accomplice.
The movie itself had widely discussed in Korea. And yet even in other Asian countries may sense similar feelings as most agricultural economy driven countries treat differently boys to girls. Even raised as kids, we sense the difference. Moms never come to dinning board and always buried in preparation of breakfast, lunch, dinner and tones of dishes. The movie generate discussion around women's right and how bias grown among society. Even today, our elder generation may still press by their old thoughts against young ones. Not only work, raising kids, mental health will you find in the movie but also how those small events trigger deep sorrow and emptiness in a mom. Worth watching and discuss how to treat people around differently without unconscious bias.
The movie was beautiful. although it was a bit slow-paced, there were a lot of touching moments. throughout the movie you'll find yourself rooting for kim ji-young as she struggles to find herself in the midst of criticisms from her mother in-law. the movie was hopeful, but also had a realistic ending. as a woman myself, i felt very inspired after watching this.
This novel cause anger which most of the people try to stop the movie showing and curses the actress because of ego pride. It's contain the real life of what woman is facing who the man refusing to admit or don't talk about it. Gender discrimination happen every where but it is very serious in Asia because of last time ancestors stupidity teaching. It's hidden message contain about gender equality is everywhere if u observe well. Great performance by all the actors especially the mother acting is touching when....
