Basedon a real scandal that took place at the Gwangju Inhwa School for the hearing impaired in the early 2000s, Silenced (2011) is a very tough-to-watch but necessary film.Directed by Hwang Dong
Vay Tiền Nhanh. "Silenced..." as the title suggests, is a powerful film about a mute and deaf school in Gwangju South Korea.In 2005 Kang In-ho arrives at a school where children are deaf, but quickly realizes that something is wrong, as children were cloistered in a kind of autism. The reason is simple; they are suffering from pain through twin-principals and other teachers. Kang In-ho, first was blind towards the horrible acts, however, he wakes up very quickly and puts his life in the background to devote him entirely to these children in the deepest and directed by filmmaker Dong-hyuk Hwang, who runs his second coil after My Father 2007, based on the novel by Jee-young Cong taking Novel in one hand and camera in the other, Hwang Dong-hyuk takes us into a hell where cruelty is watchword. Men who abuse children are already a disgrace, but when equipped with a handicap that prevents them to express them while we pass this stage to speak only to be demonic. Moreover, work is in addition to killing these demons, exposing South Korea where levels of justice are rotten to the point that despite overwhelming evidence, everyone comes out innocent or at worst a slight slap on the wrist. Such injustice deserved to talk about it, and if the literature does not always express them on a large scale, the cinema can more easily, and in 2011 the film has been a blow, pushing the government to close the school and start a new Dong-hyuk, who directs his cast with strength and power, conveys a strong message with an eye opener. We can feel the players involved, everyone is in the place and nobody is ever too much, especially children, crying for truth, despite their silence, but the look says a lot about the work of management. No melodramatic pathos, not only the accuracy enhanced by fluid narration and exciting, equally divided between face to face with the horror and the trial, or rather mock trial. The director also quite unsettling talent to film scenes touching, working the image at the point of giving an atmosphere of morbid poetry returning the stomach although almost everything is hidden, to the Unlike scenes about bullying that they go into bestiality at the is a work that takes you to the gut, but also a masterpiece at all levels, sad, very sad, because during filming like writing a book hopelessness was most certainly in the spirit all, nobody is expecting that the film can shake rotten legal foundation at this point to the bone. The arrival of this film is welcome, but it remains a work paradoxically awful cinematic should play a social role, rape, torture, and death stories of children who have so far had very little impact. We think Hwang Dong-hyuk has done considerable work, but we also think these children whose childhood or life, were stolen. The story is very centered and never leaves its intention, as I said earlier it is based on the true story, we can feel the sufferings of the is a take on the human with animal instinct and the actions will shake the base of to everyone who can digest the kinky
Completed Rourou186 people found this review helpful Story 10 Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value 1 The reason I watched this I have a psychiatrist friend who insisted on watching this film. She already knows that I don't mind any sort of special story no matter how horrific it is; I was fully prepared to any type of scenes and so I watched it. 2 Storyline/Plot They weren't kidding when they said "This movie contains EXTREMELY graphic child abuse! Do not watch if you are easily disturbed.", I intentionally repeated it because this film isn't directed to all types of audience, even if you are an adult you can easily be disturbed. Positive points *It's a true story that focus on a world wide issue a great topic. *The producer wasn't afraid of showing the horrible fact to the audience. *The script writers did a great job by delievering a masterpiece. Negative points For me there isn't. *Some people would feel sick or shocked that's why I said it's not directed to everyone but if those scenes were absent then it couldn't be fun to watch considering its theme; it was realistic and special in a great way. Story 3 Acting/Cast I really loved each and everyone of them here. *It was different yet cool to see Gong Yoo in a serious role. *The three children have done a great job because their roles were mainly sentimental and they were skilled to portray that aspect. *The actors knew how to deliever feelings and leave us affected with their issues. Cast Acting 4The ending It wasn't what anyone wanted but it was great because it was realistic. The ending 8/10 5 My impression How did it affect me *As I said earlier I don't mind any sort of special stories, this film was interesting enough to keep me hooked up for two hours. *The grafic child abuse is what gave this film its taste no matter how horrible it was. *I got the conclusion that this world is full of bad people but they only need one courageous person to change the whole thing. *Protecting children's innocence is our responsibility as adults. My impression 6 Overall I repeat this film has shocking abuse scenes therefore, if you're a sensitive person don't even think about watching this. *If you like special stories and don't mind the abusive scenes then you would like this. *Human rights lovers may want to check this out. *Don't be fooled about the fact that Gong Yoo is the main lead, it's nothing like his previous Dramas/Films. *If you're looking for a romantic story then you shouldn't be reading this in the first place. *I repeat for the last time sensitive people KEEP OUT!

Crime action film “The Roundup No Way Out” dominated the South Korean box office on its official opening weekend with a thumping $ million performance. The film, the third in a franchise that pits a heavy-fisted cop, portrayed by Ma Dong-seok aka Don Lee, against colorfully devious rogues, crushed all competing titles by taking an 88% market share. In terms of admissions, it attracted million into cinemas between Friday and Sunday. The film’s official opening was on Wednesday May 31. But it also enjoyed wide previews through much of the preceding week. Adding in the weekday takings and the preview activity, “The Roundup No Way Out” has a current aggregate of $ million and has sold a total of million tickets, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council. On both counts – gross revenue and spectator numbers – the film is already the second ranked film of the year in Korea, behind only the long-running Japanese animation “Suzume.” The muscular numbers also lifted the overall Korean box office to its biggest weekend of the year, worth $25 million. The opening performance of “No Way Out” compares closely with that of the last year’s franchise sophomore effort “The Roundup,” which was the first major film released into the Korean market after the end of COVID restrictions. Debuting in an almost identical late-May slot, “The Roundup” earned $ million and commanded an 86% market share. “The Roundup” enjoyed four weeks at the top of the Korean box office and ran on for a total of $100 million, making it the top movie of the year ahead of “Top Gun Maverick” on $67 million and fractionally behind Avatar The Way of Water” “Avatar 2” straddled the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 took a total of $104 million in Korea. The massive scale of the “No Way Out” release sucked up screens and audiences from other titles. “Fast X,” which had held pole position in two previous weekend races, saw its week-on-week performance braked by 84%. It lost two positions in revenue terms and earned just $518,000 for a three-lap total of $ million. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” regained second place, but saw its weekend earnings drop by 70%. After five weekends on release in Korea, it has a cumulative of $ million. In a counter-programming effort, the rereleased 2009 Japanese animation film “Pokemon Arceus to the Conquering of Space Time” took $514,000 in fourth place. It was third by ticket sales. Disney live-action film “The Little Mermaid” took $503,000 for a 12-day total of $ million. “The Super Mario Bros Movie” took $180,000 in sixth place in its sixth weekend of release. Since a debut on April 26, it has amassed $ million. Lower places went to Japanese new release “The Last Ten Years” with $163,000 over the weekend and a cumulative of $729,000; “Crayon Shin-chan Mononoke Ninja Chimpuden” with $121,000 for a four-week total of $ million; “Suzume,” with $83,800 for a cumulative of $ million; and Korean re-release “The Adventure of Ice Planet” with $80,000.
