Click here for official movie websiteAfter fabulous mystery genre movie,Antartic Journal the latest koraen 2005 movie kicked off recently in korean cinema if i am not wrong.
It is called Dalkomhan Insaeng(A Bittersweet Life).
i heard this movie when Lee Byung Hun(one of main characters) came in Singapore few months ago.
After waiting for it for few months,i am quite surprised with this action movie.
Not very strong storyline but fantastic actions and superb philosophy quote from beginning and ending.


From this second picture at the beginning of the movie,there was a nice philosophy talk for a while.
One fine day,a disciple looked at some branches blowing in the wind.
He asked his master....,"master,are the branches moving or is it the wind?"
Not even glancing to where his pupil was pointing,the master smiled and said..
,"that which move is neither the branches nor the wind...it's your heart and mind."
Wah,brilliant one i ever heard of.
Indeed we are swayed by our hearts and minds around the surroundings.
Nobody/nothing actually move us.
Another quote at the end of the movie.
One late autumn nght,the disciple woke up crying.
So the master asked the disciple...,"did you have a nightmare?"
The disciple said ,"No" and "did you have a sad dream?", asked the master.
"no"said the disciple,"i had a sweet dream."
"Then why are you crying so sadly", asked the master.
The disciple answered quietly while wiping his tears...,"because the dream i had can't come true."
Not too bad,some dreams can be turn into true and some dreams can't be true.
It is just matter of time how you would do.
If you don't do anything,the dreams will not be true.
Very simple.
Rating for this movie:9/10
Once again,korean movies can do without romance scene!
Antartic Journal,A bittersweet and some life are good example.
I hope to see more asian movies soon.
