Review of Ode to My Father (2014) by Chan J — 31 Jan 2015
For people that say this movie is 'milking the emotional feelings' and all that nonsense, are you kidding me? This movie tries to actually downplay on the emotions by including the hilarious best friend.
The actors weren't the best, and the plot might have been overdone, and to be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie. This movie blew me out of the waters. People, it's sad because it's a sad story.
What's even sadder is that it's a true story, on true events. Maybe not true down the the last detail, but for my grandpa who escaped while leaving behind his 6 younger siblings, or my grandmother who ran away to south korea all on her own, this is a very true story, and I believe that this movie did a really good job adding all spectrum of the emotions in a wonderfully told story.
Great job director. top marks in my book.
