| I'm just an old white American who's never been to Asia, but there must be a Korean spirit who wandered into Memphis and kindly possessed me. I know that sentimental Korean love stories and reminiscences about a child's first love don't always reach the hearts of cynical Americans. But I thank God that I have come to be a lover of Asian films of all kinds. So I am not embarrassed to be touched by a movie like this, which is so obviously designed to tug at the heartstrings of old men, looking back at tender youth.
I have watched thousands of movies now for half a century, and I consider myself an objective critic, but I was simply moved to tears by this movie, something which rarely happens. It is inexpressibly warm, achingly bittersweet, and an absolute treasure. I feel sorry for all those folks around the world who are prevented from seeing this movie by social prejudice or by unenlightened DVD marketing within their nations.
I hope that HKFlix continues to make the movie available. |
