A masterpiece
One of the best films I’ve ever seen. It has some similarities to Saving Private Ryan except it is set in the Vietnam War and the main “searcher” is a Korean wife. A lot of reviewers didn’t like the story because they didn’t see the point in Sunny searching for a husband who didn’t love her, but I think that is viewing the storyline through a Western lens. Sunny’s sense of duty, and honor, to prove to her mother-in-law that she’s a worthy wife for her son simply have no translation in Western culture and values, which is precisely what made the story so fascinating to me. I felt that the ultimate scene where her husband breaks down crying in front of her was his recognition of her worthiness to be loved, to which he’d previously been blind. Soo Ae was incredible, as were all the other actors. Loved it. But it’s so intense it would be hard to watch again !
