KOREAN MOVIE REVIEW: A Werewolf Boy
Love was the first human language he'd ever learned
Assalamualaikum ...
Kali ni Eyka nak cerita pasal movie Korea , tajuknya A Werewolf Boy . Dalam 3 minggu lepas Eyka tengok siaran ulangan movie ni dekat Astro Citra .. dah Song Joong Ki dan Park Bo Young yang berlakon memang best la kalau layan cerita ni dan sampai pukul 3 pagi Eyka berjaga hanya semata2 nak tengok ulangan movie ni (nasib la ayah tak terjaga waktu Eyka tengok movie ni, kalau tak memang kena marah ). So , biar sinopsis yang menceritakan segalanya nanti baru Eyka review .. hehe .SINOPSIS
Kim Suni, an elderly woman in her sixties living in the US, receives a phone call about the sale of her old family home back in South Korea. Returning to her homeland, she's met by granddaughter Eun-joo, and they drive to the house in the country and stay the night. Suni recalls how 47 years ago when she was a teenage girl in 1965, she moved from Seoul along with her widowed mother and sister Sun-ja to a remote valley to undergo a period of convalescence after suffering problems with her lungs. The Kims lived in genteel poverty at the mercy of their arrogant and foppish landlord, Ji-tae, son of the business partner of Suni's late father. Because of her delicate health, the beautiful yet introverted Suni lives an isolated life in the country home, without any friends her age.
One night, Suni glimpses a shadow in the outhouse; the next day, she discovers a feral boy of about 19 crouching in their yard. The boy's body temperature is 46 degrees Celsius, his blood type unidentifiable, and he can neither read nor speak. Even though he behaves like a wild beast, Suni's kindhearted mother adopts him and names him Chul-soo, assuming he's one of more than 60,000 children orphaned in the Korean War.
At first Suni considers him a nuisance, but eventually has fun taming him according to a dog-training manual. She teaches him how to wait patiently before a meal, how to wear clothes, how to speak, how to write and other human behavior so that he could one day live like a normal man. Chul-soo demonstrates unswerving loyalty and superhuman brawn, thus inspiring the envy of Ji-tae, who lusts after Suni.
As Suni attempts to "civilize" the beast, the two eventually become very close. Suni opens her heart to Chul-soo, and he in turn falls in love with her, the only person to ever show him affection. But their relationship is fraught with difficulties, as Ji-tae begins to cause trouble. Feeling threatened, Chul-soo lets loose his bestial instincts, and in their fear the town villagers turn on him. In order to save the life of the boy who risked his to be by her side, Suni leaves him with a promise: "Wait for me. I’ll come back for you."
MY REVIEW
Bagi Eyka ..permulaan cerita ni agak slow . Tapi di pertengahan cerita, bila Suni jumpa Chul-Soo dh start progressing . Eyka suka tengok Park Bo Young dan Song Joong Ki berlakon .. serasi sangat. hehe. Tapi kalau memanjang je cerita ni asyik sweet je pun tak boleh jugak kan ? haruslah ada si antagonist yang cuba untuk menyibuk . Sangat2 tak suka dengan Ji-Tae , anak orang kaya yang sangat suka berlagak . Part scene yang Eyka most memorable ialah waktu Suni suruh Chul-Soo tu lari , sangat la meruntun jiwa dan perasaan Eyka masa tu . Eyka macam .. "WHY ? Why they should be separated ? Oh nooo~" dan confirm la Eyka menangis (masa first time je yang menangis , bila dh berulang kali tengok tu . Air mata memang tak meleleh keluar dh)
Ending cerita ni so far okay je bagi Eyka .. sebab ape Eyka cakap okay je ? sebab Suni tinggalkan Chul-Soo macam tu je sorang2 dekat kampung tu. Atleast , kenalkan je la dekat cucu dia tu ke atau bawa sekali Chul-Soo tu balik Amerika Syarikat, apa susah ?So~~ Eyka bagi 4.5 bintang dari 5 bintang untuk cerita A Werewolf Boy ni .
