Customer Reviews of The Way Home
A Fantastic Example of Love and Patience Sang-Woo has been left in the care of his grandmother (whom he barely knows) by his mother who goes in search of work after losing her business. The grandmother lives in a remote rural area in Korea, and her living conditions (outdoor toilet, no television, and bugs) are shocking to this seven year-old spoiled kid who is use to Nintendo games and fast food. So, it should come as no surprise when Sang-Woo begins to act out his frustation by being disrespectful to his grandmother. What is touching, however, is the patience and love this mute woman shows to her grandson inspite of the horrible way he treats her.
There are two scenes in this movie which had me laughing and crying. The first is when Sang-Woo asks his grandmother to walk miles into town to get him some "Kentucky Fried" (chicken) for lunch. I was rolling on the floor when grandmother came back with her idea of this fast food delicacy. The other scene is when grandmother gives Sang-Woo a wrapped gift. He scoffs at it and puts it in his back pocket. Later, he opens it and discovers how much his grandmother truly loves him. After seeing this scene, I knew I had to share this movie with my mother and sisters.
Rural life has been hard on this woman and her looks show it. But the unconditional love she has for her grandson makes her the most beautiful woman in the world. It takes Sang-Woo a while to learn this, but he does.........and you will, too.
You will be so glad you bought this movie, and so much richer for it.
A Warm-Hearted Gem
If you need a respite from all the frenetic, over-acted Hollywood films of late, watch this film. The woman who plays the mute grandmother and the boy are not actors, but real people, and the performance that the director draws out from them is natural and affecting.
The premise and the story is simple: A boy who was raised in an urban, westernized city has to spend a week with his grandmother in the country. The pace that the director generates from this simple premise, and the scenes that he builds the movie with are delightful and funny. And the climax of the movie, which is as gentle and inevitable as life itself, will not fail to draw tears from you.
This wonderful and understated film will make you think of the importance of your loved ones, and the world can use more films like this.
A Must Buy !
One of the best films you'll ever see. Period.
