Friend All Content Used With Permission. ![]() "Friend" is an amazing movie about four friends who go different paths in their life but still reunite with one another as the years go by. The film is an emotional punch--we get four great actors in very convincing roles and it is truly wonderful how they balance the twists and turns of the story. The movie has little action but really it's not about the action--what is compelling is the story and how it carries the audience on an emotional roller coaster. I recommend this flick to the patient viewers; it is a rewarding picture. ![]() ![]() Great growing-up-on-the-streets Korean movie. Not a "gangster" movie, but gang-related. Moving story, brutal, heart-breaking scenes. A Korean classic. ![]() Many people who have seen Friend would try to compare it to Beat. To me Friend was too dry. Sure there were tender moments and sure it can bring about feelings of nostalgia. But Friend lacked a certain entertainment value due to it's "based on a true story" appeal. The movie really left you empty at the end and there was too much left out during the course of the film. Probably because it concentrated too hard on focusing on 4 main characters in the course of their each and individual lives instead of just one major story. But nevertheless, Friend is a must see movie just so you can finally judge for yourself if it was worth the wait. ![]()
http://www.cityonfire.com ![]() Great movie. Although I'm not Korean, I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. The English subtitles were not that badly off to the original Korean text. FRIEND is exactly what it advertises itself to be: a story about friendship, loyalty, betrayal and redemption. It's funny, poetic, sad and it gets your blood pumping. Yoo Oh-Sang is great and shows his versatility as an actor in this film.
