Well, what can I say about The Box? It is a masterpiece. Russian people knew it from the very beginning, long before the film was released in Russia, that is why we tried our best and went through all the circles of hell to watch it on a big screen in theatres. And you know, it is 100% worth it. If I could go back, I would certainly do it all over again just to see this film one more time.
Why is it so good? Firstly, the picturesque atmosphere of South Korea with its landscape and food will make you feel as if you are on a trip with the main characters. I think, it is especially valuable during the pandemic time.
Secondly, the music is amazing. I listened to the OST album countless number of times, but in combination with the film those songs open up from a new side. If you are afraid that you do not know a single song, that all of them are Korean, you are mistaken. Do not worry, they all are big hits, and I am sure that you can find your favourite song among them. And also I should note that Park Chanyeol and the other musicians did their job greatly, all the songs are perfomed delightfully.
Thirdly, despite the fact that The Box is a low budget film, everything looks more than decent. The picture is beautiful, bright, the story itself is very dynamic, sometimes funny, sometimes touching. I am still very impressed with the drum scene (who has seen it will understand). The actors did not disappoint either, it was interesting to watch the development of their relationship and how they interacted.
Finally, The Box has a great impact on the viewer. If you are tired, if you feel that there is no way out, then this movie is for you. After watching it, you will get a tremendous lift and the strongest motivation, so you will be able to overcome any difficulties. And this is the main purpose of the film. I am sure, the story of the musician and his producer will make you break your own box!
